Isn't "electronic music," that is, something just for the ears, more
"popular" now than at any point in it's history?

I do think you could make an argument that this popularity is centered
around recordings more than performances, however.

I'm curious what is meant by "novelty value." I would assume that an
"advanced" artist would hold their aesthetic values with the moral
conviction that is the contemporary equivalent religious fervor. I don't
see how entertainment values enhance this position.

Best,

Tad
