    Hey you’re fighting the good fight with your really great replies to the ignorant replies you’re getting, more power to you.

    I’ve seen some dumb takes on Lemmy but “science of music theory is western eurocentric colonialism” is a new low bar.

      “science of music theory is western eurocentric colonialism” is a new low bar.

      It is literally the core principle of modern ethnographic musicology. 50 years ago there were people claiming that eastern microtonality was a savage aberration.
