Music

While I'm sure the music that Kivy and Hanslick were discussing in their essays was fine, classical music, I was wondering where that left the music that a lot of critics wouldn't think highly of. They seemed to suggest that there was some sort of content in the music. But many people who enjoy music that isn't classical music would say that they can be profoundly touched by songs. They may not be able to explain how they feel about their music. Would that be the same sort of content? Or does the music have to be considered "true" music to have such content, putting the rest of the music in a category where it is just tones and sounds?
