Music, pleasure or symptom
"Music is non-objective, it cannot be identified with any moment of the external world... It is a language, but without concepts. ...because of its inconceivableness, it is not possible to ask the unpleasant questions of What." Theodor Adorno

Key highlights of the topic:
Adorno's contribution to understanding the ideological function of music
The cultural industry and the phenomenon of popular music
Laibach, an example of music that manipulates its role as a phantasm to function as a symptom
