As for popular music, melody rhythm, beat, harmony, lyrics, and timbre are not simply creating form and aesthetic. Each of these elements are actually embedded with a semiotics of meaning that can create a sense of community, crystallize imaginary identities, and create sentimental adventures for the audience (McClary and Walser 1990).
