Can Music Be Evil?

A penny for my thoughts (I better be careful.  I might get back change!)

Music is amoral.  It has no good or evil tendencies.  

Use the music for your own means, then it becomes good or bad, but it was not the music, rather the person using it.

Just like a brick.  It can be used to build a house or break a window.

Actually, after thinking on my own post #23,

I suppose someone might call a song evil if it had a ton of profanity and violent lyrics.

Encouraged types of behavior one considered immoral.

Like,

Music as a 'building block, sure seems amoral,

Same as metal might be immoral,

But if someone made an Robot that went around killing people,

People might call the robot evil.

. . .

After all, ethang5's not asking is music generally speaking evil?

But,

Are there certain configurations, shapes, of music that are evil?

It's not it metal evil?

But,

Is metal in the shape and programming of a serial killer robot evil?

I suppose the thought that comes next,

Can individual people be evil?

Or are there only evil circumstance?

And some people have a tendency to enact evil circumstance?

If the question is, "can music be used for evil" then I will say yes.  There are evil ways to associate music, just like you said.  I was going for more of a general thought of music itself. 

Your analogy of metal is great.  Music can be beautiful or it can be chaotic noise or it can be used for trances or it can be used to implement evil ideas into the minds of listeners, but as an overall music is a tool.

I meant to say,

rather than

Now that I think about it, YES.

If you repeatedly blast loud music over a group of ear-damaged patients that can still hear, but only very sensitively, resulting in the worsening of their conditions, that is an immoral act.

Using music to numb people from everything else happening around is also an immoral act that could be done. I remember a public event of selling a book about "personal growth" where they play the music so loudly it trumps my online class resulting in me forgetting what the student t-distribution was. That was not the point, as I was on floor 28. Imagine how loud it was on the ground level. The man holding the event was later discovered to be a criminal on the run convicted for money laundering and fraud and has no legal ID. The purpose of the loud music was so that it takes over your brain resulting in you not being able to question what the man said. The microphone was loud too, that is why I know the man was spitting nonsense, redundant and incoherent. People actually brought their books.

What counts as music? If this does than yes, music can be evil: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/shepardAudioIllusionToneGenerator.php

Sounds or musical notes in and of themselves do not enter the moral sphere. Music must carry a message to make a moral statement that can then be evaluated as being good or evil.
