It’s okay if you made it up, I made up what I’m posting, but not arbitrarily.
When I think of quintessentially masculine music, I think of heavy, loud, rhythmic (altho it can be melodic if it’s done right), aggressive music.
On the one hand, I think of hard rock, heavy metal, gangsta rap and outlaw country:

On the other hand, I also think of epic film scores such as:

And some classical music like:

These tracks are full of action, and adventure…bold, daring, imbued with a sense of grandeur, and profundity, full of masculine virtues, like valor.
Additionally when I think of masculine music, I think of what’s avant-garde, and technical.
Conversely when I think of feminine music, I think of the antonyms of the aforementioned words: light, quiet, melodic and agreeable:

essentially what is challenging is masculine, what is gentle and accommodating is feminine.
Pop music is feminine, because it’s nice, and normal.
So is the sweeter, softer, safer side of every other genre.
There was little that was macho about what FC posted, it was too soft.
It was avant-garde, however, sort of.
But ethereal, which’s feminine.
Disorganized, which’s neither here nor there, in my opinion.
Overall I’d say it was manic, ethereal and eerily ecstatic, erratic, like a woman or effete man having a bout of psychosis.
Now to me, silence isn’t order, it’s the absence of sound, both organized sound, and disorganized.
I wouldn’t conflate order with simplicity either.
There’s such a thing as simple, and complex order.
Order is synonymous with patterns, and you can have relatively complex patterns, like 1 5 3 4, 11 19 15 16, 21 37 29 30, or you can have simple ones, like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12.
That being said, complex patterns can appear random.
They can be difficult, or impossible for humans, with their limited memory and intelligence, to identify.
The universe might be full of patterns, even ones with profound implications for our lives, we’ll never recognize.
As for whether order is more masculine or feminine, again I think it’s neither here nor there.
Both males and females are, organisms, and they’re relatively complexly, organized, and they produce relatively complexly organized behaviors.
I don’t view males and females as polar opposites in any way, even where they’re most different, like they’re genitalia, they’re still more similar than different, in that they both have genitalia, sex organs, nor do I view them as relative opposites in every way, they are relative opposites in some respects, and virtually identical in others, like in terms of their complexion, their pigment, one sex isn’t lighter/darker than the other.
I think there’s a tendency in right wring oriented philosophy to extrapolate masculinity/femininity to absurd lengths.
Masculinity/femininity are human qualities, I don’t think they can meaningfully encompass every dichotomy in the cosmos, or in our language.
