Of all the nonsensical musical genres, perhaps the most irksome is one coined here in Japan: "healing" music.
For "healing" read Muzak of the blandest variety -- an endless drivel of so-called mystical keyboards, some "meaningfully" intoned lyrics, a few natural or "ethnic" sounds and pretentious waffle about spirituality masquerading as liner notes. In short, a blancmange of the brain, capable only of healing a severe bout of insomnia.
If it could simply be left alone as a genre to avoid that would offer some respite. The healing tag, however, has been hijacked by marketing people onto some real music, most notably Celtic but even African, and onto some worthwhile artists.
