I know what you mean in terms of, there's nothing worse to me that
hearing a record (or what I do) described as "emotional" Techno- it's
a byword word for "bland and predictable" for me- it's a term used in
particular with electronic music- I've never heard of "emotional Rock
and Roll or "emotional" Folk music!

Maybe I wasn't very clear in that, of course they are, but when
someone says
"I put emotion in my music" or "I wanted to convey emotion" I get
bored by
cliches like that. It doesn't inspire you to hear the song, hey.
Something
more illuminating like "I was feeling despair over this".
But are all those things you mention not "emotions"- and the things
that define our relationship to the world about us and in this
instance, the music we are discussing?

Good point. I personally shrink when in interviews artists talk of
"emotion"
in relation to their work and don't define that too. What do you
mean -
sadness, despair, anger - or something that approximates emotion by
being
generally stirring? It's not v enlightening. But that's maybe just
me...
There seems to be some confusion regarding "emotion"
