Dunno why I'm seeing this now but ragebait aside he's actually just wrong There's a reason songs get stuck in our heads and we can remember all the words to songs we haven't listened to in years Music and sound becomes a complex and deep form of storage and synthesis for our brains, easily accessible, memorable, and retrievable. We get pleasure from it which encourages our brains to retain it We've capitalised on that and turned it into art (and since, an industry - but there's still music as art being created today which even the most cynical person can see) but there's a reason music, songs, and sound have been used throughout history as story, as performance, as a historical encoding of knowledge To indicate that music has no intellectual value is to accidentally indicate you don't use a whole lot of your brain 🤷
