>The Western Artistic society
Look at the facial expressions and the INTENSITY in the vocals. The range. The story. An evil witch who attempts to get her daughter to slay her future husband.

The height of femininity, these two women sing (in the most beautiful way) about a new lover. Lyrics are not needed, this transcends culture and reading the expressions are easy to ascertain what is happening.

>In asia the octaves are more constricted and their musical scale is more narrow/limited. Less expression on the faces make it difficult to extract the story in other cultures. The elaborate costumes compensate the constricted emotional expression only so much.

Compare that to the more recent pavoritii's voice to get an idea of reference.

>Africa/much of the other world. The focus is more primal, whether it be sexual or intimidation. The stories are meant to act on pure rhythm through chant. Lacking complex movement or abstract thought.

>MEANWHILE in europe
Beauty that transcends natural movement. Gravity defying leaps into the air that simulates something outside of this world. This, again, requires no words. Yet it simply inspires

It is required for a society to attempt perfection. This is depicted in Western music and it is why the west has dominated the world. I fear we do not cherish our art like we used to and it has devolved to more primal levels rather than facilitate exploration of the imagination. Just look at the most popular music today.

This is not a political thread, it is an examination of the different types of cultural differences in music and art.

japanese are just about outperforming us in the modern age but thats only because europe has taken the jewish mind poison. it is the case that european aesthetic sense, creativity, identity and genius far surpasses even the races more intelligent than us.

statistically speaking it is the case that east asians have a (slightly) higher average IQ. thats pretty much the only factor i can think of in which they perform better though.

They have a higher average IQ. However their IQ range is more narrow than europeans. Geniuses upward 150+ IQ occur more commonly in european populations than asian
