Take: the dominance that professionally recorded music has gained in the last 100 years has lead to a major winnowing of folk music (i.e. music intended to be performed by anyone, as part of daily life), and that's a significant cultural and social loss.

Huh guess this post resonates with a lot of you.

Really though, are there any songs you'd feel comfortable and fluent singing unaccompanied, while in the presence of others? The answer for me is "no" and that makes me kinda sad.

I could think of a few actually, but...that doesn't mean what I listen to is by any means "pop music".
