Style fragmentation

But on another level, what people think of songs, or of behaviour, or of you is important. This is reputation. Reputation is a shorthand for memory, a way to deal with others without having to relearn everything about them through observation. The notion of friend or enemy is a higher level, based on reputation and experience, etc.. So we cannot throw any of these constructs out unless we get a total surveillance society, where we can dial-up a list actions to predict how someone may act. This is the dark side of everything is miscellaneous. Fuzzy understanding and memory is better than total recall. Time heals all wounds versus the perpetual reputation made on the Internet way back machine. So once again humanism and evolved mechanisms due to the limitations of biological memory have to be balanced against the new possibilities of cheap electronic memory and we are in clash mode. Estimates are that in 10 years, flash or something equivalent will be cheap enough that we would be able to store a video of our entire life on a fob. What does that do to the notion of reputation?

Musically, I should want to be able to search for stuff that is "like" my stuff and make a temporary category based entirely on constraints such as time range, key, or whatever attributes I care to define. I can then invent or belong to a style called "2000-2010 - key of Cm - male vocal - tempo 100-120 - 2-5 instruments - songs duration 2-4 minutes....

Is this good?
