The denotation of the word 'utopia' in modern-day English usage is an ideal society or community that manages to achieve complete political and social perfection. 'Perfection', however, is a highly subjective concept that has as many meanings as there are people in the world. For example, my ideal view of the world might be one that possesses an overflowing abundance of chocolate, but for the person who's grown up hating chocolate their whole life, such a world might instead be a personal hell. One man's "political and social perfection" might be, to another man, a dull, bland world in need of more individuality and cultural diversity. As for my personal definition of what a utopia would be, I believe it would be a society where everyone is not necessarily "equal", per se, but one where everyone at least has the same opportunities.
The soundtrack to my utopia would play music according to my mood. Happy moments would feature more upbeat music, while sadder occasions would call for more melancholy tracks.
