Say what you want about it emotionally, culturally, etc...
Music is essentially the best example to a human of the natural flow of energy, and how it moves through our world, which is occupied space (obviously physics will differ in outer space.)
Dropping a stone in a pond and watching the waves, are a visual representation of the same laws that govern how energy moves and fluctuates.
An earthquake is a sometimes terrifying example of the SAME laws.
Ever hear of resonant frequency?
You can use this premise to either "liquify" steel if you fine tuned it... destroy a building, again, another extreme example... or you could use it to do what all music basically does, give living beings the desire to nod their heads, and or feel emotions "at a beats notice."
It's such an essential part of the world we live in, and yet it's used as a way to become popular or just for money... and some of the music that has been made, I'm sure even mother nature would frown at.
Treat it with respect, it's in the very roots of you and everything around you.
