Music theory , in my experience , doesn ' t really tell you what makes music tick . Also , that part of theory called analysis AFAIK usually deals with functional harmony , and a lot of maybe most modern music contains nonfunctional elements . Music theory will certainly describe music for you pretty much anything you could call music . Whether that gives you any clues as to why it works is debatable . It ' s a little like asking why a particular neighborhood in your city is so cool , or so popular , and expecting to get the answer from a street map . <| sep |> If you say so haha but that movie sucked so bad though weirdly I enjoyed it on some level . that is how people feel about trump lolI don ' t know . i ' m not American . I just hope he doesn ' t accidentally press that red button when he ' s trying to remove his foot from his mouth .
