Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued withthe same passion; and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form. - Aristotle
Any musical innovation is full of danger to the whole state, and ought to be prohibited. When modes of music change, the fundamental laws of the state always change with them. - Plato
They were men of genius, but they had no perception of what was just and lawful in music...And by composing licentious works, and adding to them words as licentious, they have inspired the multitude with lawlessness and boldness, and made them fancy that they could judge for themselves about melody and song...in music there first arose the universal conceit of omniscience and general lawlessness; freedom came following afterwards, and men, fancying that they knew what they did not know, had no longer any fear, and the absence of fear begets shamelessness. For what is this shamelessness, which is so evil a thing, but the insolent refusal to regard the opinion of the better by reason of an over-daring sort of liberty? - Plato

No, but it is a factor. Postmodern art is very good at persuading nihilism.

capitalism made pop music
pop music is cheap, mass producible tunes that could generate millions per one hit wonder
every wonder why rap sounds the same, or why all the oldies and greatest hits stations play songs that have very similar sounds?
pop music sells to kids and teaches them that freedom lies within blind reaction and rebellion to traditional values, perpetuating unnecessary generational antagonism by selling the newest form of libertinism and degeneracy masked as freedom from the false forms of structures of oppression, but never actually looking at capitalism - the system that will force all these kids to heel one way or another because they have to make a living after they move out of their parents' house.
>but it's a jewish trick
profit makes businesses viable, and it is in any business's interest to remain competitive and thus remain profitable. the jewish factor is extraneous to capitalism and we will eventually have industries that profit from manipulating people's self perceptions and selling them garbage to perpetuate it anyways, just to make a buck
