Who in "mellow music" are you talking about? And aren't they likely just great classical composer want to bes? Or find a cure for death rejects. I think one of the points of this movie is that any such ranking system invariably leads a person to "golden god" or bust.

(except for mellow music, where this doesn't apply, such as New Age, where you will find the finest musicians, the worst personalities and the least social statements and/or vanguardism).

In case you never knew this - real music is melodies, harmony and rhythm. Period. The cheaper the tune, the more important the rhythm. The cheaper the rhythm, the more important the lyrics, if any. Any songwriter knows this. Hence, the birth of Rock & Roll, otherwise known as the garage band, where the social statement supersedes the music. Today, the fashionable social statement is "friendly American person." Any film producer knows this. Hence, hugely popular TV shows called "Friends" and the slews of films with this morale.
