As for ambience, I think it's a cop out for a lack of skill. I do like some bands with ambient sides to them, however. Later era Burzum, Nadja, Black Shape of Nexus, and Sunn O)))

You really do not know a lot about music do you? Do you know what the original purpose of music is?

Virtually all modern music owes itself to the blues. The Blues was originally a form of communication and a bringing together of communities over something as simple as a camp fire. The roots can be traced further to Folk, but I shall stay with the Blues. It's musical shape gave birth to Jazz, Funk and soul. Rock music was born out of these genres by taking the arrangements and distorting the chords.

WAIT! Blues is also about Emotion (lyrically) and Ambience (creating an atmosphere), but the listeners cannot understand it?

I am so glad you have reviewed 20th century music in a short paragraph.
