Paracelsus, 16th Century Swiss medic guy and time traveler describes rock and roll to his contemporaries as such:
"Whores and scoundrels who take pleasure in guitar and lute playing… satisfying all voluptuousness, bodily pleasure, imagination and fancy."
Nailed it.
Kidding aside, that was a description the "dance plagues" of the day, link to BBC article https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/202 ... ket-newtab

Nice to know people had figured out Mankind's highest pursuits, even back then.
"The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. The motions of his spirit are dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted."
