The world was in shambles. Natural resources were scarce. Poverty, unemployment, and disease are rampant throughout the world. It is affected by the ubiquity of the technological scourge. All manual labor is performed by incessant iron muscles. Technology is the only source of employment and economic wellbeing for the modern world. Artificial intelligence is well developed, leading to the prevalence of automatons within our communities. These automatons have replaced their human counterparts not only within the manual labor market but also within careers requiring technical knowledge. Even skills that required the inventiveness and innovation of the human mind are replaced by the unrelenting efficiency of artificial intelligence. The over-supply of metallic citizens and the stagnant state of global economy made humans to ignore the arts. A dearth of trees due to over-pollution caused a scarcity of many musical instruments like pianos, guitars, flutes, and harps. The automatons have perfected only the soothing of the cerebral cortex with zirkanium levers and buttons. Their brand of music appeals to the areas in the brain associated with primitive instincts and pleasure. There is nothing intellectual about the automaton's melodic creation because it lacks the necessary human element. Homo sapiens are not perfect but they do create imperfectly. No music exists in this world, only Electronic Death Music.
