Pov: You're in a dystopic world when music is prohibited/illegal!

You: You walked in a busy city, nobody was smiling or scowling. People are depressed, numb, and gloomy

Lore: A long time ago, music wasn't illegal and everyone was expressing themselves! But then, an anti-music party was established and made music prohibited! The establishment has been going on for more than 250 years! If you have ever played music, you will go to custody for a lifetime!
