Music major here. Surprise, all music you know is “sounds with some beat”.

I don’t know what counts as Music to you, but I sure hope you’re not out here trying to promote your particular taste as somehow more refined, because we know a lot about how that is usually just good old classist, generational, or racist biases peeking out.

Who is "we", this magical entity eager to accuse somebody for classism and/or racism? Who are you speaking for? Because for sure not for the entire HN user base

I once played a song that I swear had no verifiable beat. It was some insane Stravinsky piece, sounded like random-ass noise.

But other than weird avant-garde stuff that seems to intentionally try to not have a beat, I agree all music tends to be sounds with some beat.

I think the accusers here are far more likely to be the prejudiced ones
