Criticism of minimalist music

Simple music has caused controversy at the beginning of its development, and there are roughly two views on its criticism.

The first one came from an advocate of modernism.

They believe that minimalism is a rebellion against progress, a corruption of modernity, and degenerates to the point of vulgarity. They think that minimalism is the surrender of art to popular art, and these comments are in contrast with the post-modern view that this is the way for modern musicians to find a way out of music, not stale or degenerate, nor inferior to modernism in seeking more rigorous and important views to promote human knowledge and kindness.

Second, advocates from western classical music.

Especially those who have experienced19th century music. They think that simple music is too repetitive, boring, without the evolution of phrases and superficial. Some jokes make fun of simple musicians by repeating their names, especially philip glass. According to this view, pure music can't achieve any purpose and lacks intrinsic attraction.
