When composers introduce styles of music which break with convention,
there can be a strong resistance from academic music experts and popular culture.
Late-period Beethoven string quartets, Stravinsky ballet scores, serialism,
bebop-era jazz, hip hop, punk rock, and electronica have all been considered
non-music by some critics when they were first introduced.
Such themes are examined in the sociology of music.
The sociological study of music, sometimes called sociomusicology,
is often pursued in departments of sociology, media studies, or music,
and is closely related to the field of ethnomusicology.
