[Music can be nice to listen to.  When you listen to it on a radio or recording just for the sound and music itself, you'd naturally want to buy it from the greatest professionals in the entire world, people who spend years practicing and then compete to produce the best songs and the best versions of songs.  Music can also be nice to play among your friends.  How nice it is to play among your friends depends on how much they appreciate it - really appreciate it, not just pretend to appreciate it to be polite.  There's a potential collision where you can imagine somebody having already heard all the topnotch professionals having played incredibly good versions of the songs your friends are trying to play much more poorly.  So there's a dividing line between complicated music that requires professionals and recording studios, and the music that one or four people can realistically successfully play together, which is then avoided by professionals and recording studios.  If they did record it, a radio station wouldn't play it; and if a radio station did play it, people would obviously never listen to them again and their sponsors would abandon them even before that.  I could say that the sponsors would abandon them for fear of backlash, and that would be partially true, but also the sponsors are still part of Civilization and wouldn't go against the common good because they're, you know, good people.]
