Is My Music Pretentious?

Exactly! Lots of that stuff is really good. However, it's also an argument for countless other bands and artists who created and are creating defiant, original, untutored music.
As for arguing against orchestras being arguing against live music, come on. I've been to orchestral performances, it's not live music. It's music entombed. They don't even let you dance or sing along most times. Who the hell wants that kind of joyless experience?

Both are applicable, since A# is equivalent to Bb. The notes outside A to G are literally enharmonic, or have multiple names that represent the same pitch.
Also Khar refuses to acknowledge
1. That different cultures produced different kinds of musical theory. But they were all theory.
2. Music theory is inherent in any description of individual aspects of music when standardised within one's own perception.
3. Music theory is not a limiting factor because it doesn't lay down laws, just action -> consequence relationships.
4. Standard notation has so many ways to vary and express notes that it hardly managed to limit anyone, anyway.
phooey:
Every note has an enharmonic note. Eb = D#;Ebb = D and so forth. "Playing the enharmonic notes" has no real meaning, because that's what you're doing all of the time every time.
Also I'm of the camp that standard music notation kind of sucks but it's the best thing for what we got. I learned to get on with it, but I like sitting on my butt and not dancing at orchestral and chamber concerts. I don't think that means that it's "music entombed" or anything; there are different ways of appreciation than participation in my opinion.

Right, but that just becomes ridiculously superfluous except when using flat accidentals of notes already flat within the key.

So, what happens when you reverse the flux polarity of the dicritical bose-einstein condensate and shutter the output on planck time?
