Music

I answered true for the semantic sense of “pure” appreciation, as if music were simply pleasing sound waves, but I disagree with the general sentiment.

Music is art which comes from lived experience in some shape or form.

Things can look good for the sake of looking good in the same way music can sound good for the sake of sounding good. In lack of artistic meaning it becomes appreciation of human craftsmanship and technique. Unavoidably tied to one’s experiences and personal lives.

Connections to human experience will mean a totally different thing in 10-20 years once generative AI dominates the charts with scientifically engineered hits, and not just in music!

This is a great answer. I should have included an extra option for both. I said false because as you mentioned, I think the statement misses a crucial aspect of what makes music impactful: connection to human experience
