Yes, agreed, music has a particular value to a person (I was going too say 'intrinsic' but it is personal) as well. But shared love of music, or shared experiences of music transcends this value IMO; and is largely orthogonal. "That song we danced to", "what we sang at the campfire", crab dance for LTT watchers, 'easy for ENZ' for CSGO players, a national anthem to a nationalist, ... the music matters a little but it's only really a rallying point for shared experiences.
