for the listener maybe,for the artist it can be an outlet of emotion,an escape of some sort,and also a whole lot of fun.
Why do we listen to music?

I listen to the music I listen to because I can relate to the emotions conveyed in the music (anger, agression, depression, etc.). But I'm not all tr00 and kvlt and only listen to the most underground bands.
its a good outlet for my repressed anger and depression, and probably the only thing that make this existence tolerable

But what is entertainment, and why is music entertaining? You didn't excacly answer the question from the opening post with this.Disturbed4ntics said:

The "why?" cannot even be explained by science. Somehow patterns of pitches and rhythms stimulate the brain's pleasure center. There are theories within the music itself on what pitches and chords do what, and there's endless musical terminology...but the effect itself cannot be explained.
Entertainment is anything that is pleasing to the senses, I think. For some reason, society seems to deem entertainment as a lesser part of the important things in a society.

Yeah man, or if you are making/planning on making music you could find the technical aspect an issue...I think that people who are opinionated (the elitists) about particular styles are people who are passionate about their personal taste in music and want to be involved in that scene (whichever it may be) either as an artist, producer etc...Profånity said:

There was no angst involved in my choice. I just thought it sounded good. But then, I was about five or six years old at the time.
