Culturally neutral music

To all those who claim that no music is culturally neutral and that it is impossible to have music that transcends culture, one very prominent piece of music from the NPM convention should enter consideration:



In what culture would this piece of music ever be inconsistent with the culture around it??

This is an important point, I think. Modern thought has convinced many that music is ultimately a matter of preference and that we should simply cater to as many tastes as possible. Examples like this suggest otherwise.
