Hollywood movie scores are essentially pornographic. There's little to challenge the logic or problem-solving areas of your mind. There are lots of loud sounds and nakedly manipulative melodies.

Naturally there are exceptions but I'm referring to your basic Hans Zimmer product, which is garbage.

The same can be said for most popular classical pieces. As someone who mostly listens to classical, I'm not even sure your characterization carries any meaning. But lets not elevate classical music to some rarefied pedestal; the vast majority of the good classical music contains "loud sounds and nakedly manipulative melodies".
