In Germany, we differentiate E- and U-Musik. E (Ernst) means "serious" and is classical music and stuff. U (Unterhaltung) = entertainment and is everything African American inspired (Jazz, Rock, Pop, hip hop, ...). This difference basically exists to devalue everything that isn't central European in origin

    True and it's far less common nowadays I think. I haven't heart it for a while. I remember in school our teacher discussed it critically but not from a CRT perspective but more like "some classical music is quite danceable and some blues can get quite serious", not "this is a eurocentric concept and we should stop it"
