I think it is something to do with trying to find the ultimate social
activity with as little effort as possible. Rock/Pop etc. IS easier to
listen to and easier to scream at, at a concert. Not an easy thing to
imagine a teenage girl screaming at Daniele Gatti in the RAH... or a
teenage boy drooling over a picture of Dame Janet Baker...
So forget that social thing - it comes down to sex.
