• The four categories of ideas about music are: music and the belief system, aesthetics of music, contexts of music, and history of music.
• Music-cultures do not necessarily present a united front in their ideas about music.
• Certain types of music—such as jazz, rock, rap--met opposition from some when introduced. This opposition may be based on aesthetics (the music was thought to be "awful" by those who opposed it) and context (opposition to the lifestyle of the musicians).
