I don't know these things...they are "rules" anyway, rules established by convention, culture, time, exposure and imposition.
As I don't KNOW the theory/rules I don't follow them yet I make "music".

Yours is a very limited view of music I suspect. The pentatonic/blues scale was very naughty for a long time, the blue note was frowned upon, certain harmonies were forbidden, (almost). Luckily there were folk ignorant or brave enough to buck those trends.
