Musicians experience emancipation when they listen to their favorite song that mirrors their life. Example, a person whose favorite song is “Eye of the Tiger” will feel liberated and motivated to pursue their passion, dreams and aspirations in life. Since “Eye of the Tiger” is a motivational pop-rock song, that Musician will be inclined to follow the genre.
Doctrinal and philosophical
Since New Age Musicism is a polytheistic religion, every deities is divided into two categories, the Legends and the Stars. Legends are main gods and goddesses, while stars are demigod or demigoddesses.
