What do you regard as the most repulsive form of music?
Not sure this technically counts, but musicals have to be the most repulsive form of music. I haven’t exactly seen many musicals, so perhaps this is an opinion born of scarcity. It must be a me thing, because … Hamilton. Probably half of the other Broadway productions I can name are musicals. It’s definitely a me thing! I recently watched West Side Story—the 2022 Oscar Best Picture nominee. Amazingly this was the first version of the story I’ve ever seen. I knew basically what I was in for: Jets, those other guys, dancing, singing, etc. My wife, though, had to inform me that West Side Story was originally written as a modern-day take on Romeo and Juliet. I don’t think I’d have put those pieces together had she not informed me of that little trivia nugget. Musicals are just so unrealistic. I can think of only one situation where a perfectly choreographed song and dance number would “spontaneously” occur in public: a flash mob. Those seemed to be all the rage about 10 years ago, but I haven’t heard about any recently. Looky there—a benefit of COVID!
