I have no horse in the race; let the lawyers sort it out. But it is well known that lawyers produce the best music, with all the creative personalities, outside the box thinking, and unstructured work environments.
Lawyers are great acapella performers.
Instead, North Korean musicians have risen to the occasion & developed a timeless style of music sure to outlive rock:
Yes! We can now look forward to the rebirth of powerful, inspiring, serious military music with uplifting lyrics. Even the American imperialists have some great tunes composed by John Philip Sousa, such as this one.
Quarter notes got their name during the era of the Motown/Stax "house" bands. The bands were paid $1.00 per measure, thus, 4 notes in a measure was worth $0.25 or a quarter.
Frugal record executives kept the songs short - under three minutes - to reduce the cost of the house band. Bands tried to push back by trying to play faster to squeeze in more measures per song, but with only limited success.

Their major success was with syncopated notes which counted as the last quater note in one measure, and the first note in the next.

The electric bass became popular for bands quite early on in the fifties.

Victor Wooten got his first name because in school he was on the track team and never lost an event
Surf music actually started during a beach closure in Cleveland, Ohio
Often attributed to Cleveland, however surf rock actually came from Columbus Ohio during a Cleveland beach closure.
Ennio Morricone wrote the scores for all the movies he's done as surf tunes, but John Williams adapted them to sound more appropriate to the films they went with--when some of them became iconic it caused a rift between the two & they haven't spoken for 52 years
You're half right...
Surf music was invented by Unilever in 1959 as a detergent marketing ploy.
