I disagree. There is good music and bad music. I'm sure there are a lot of songs I like that are bad music in the overall spectrum of music. A music theory professor at Berkeley might scoff at my Angry Samoans cd for example and be correct in saying that it is amateur, immature, undeveloped music made in somebody's garage. I've tried arguing this with people that are really into experimental music, especially noise 'music', but they always make the same argument, and it's one so irrational that there really is no way to respond to it.

I love how everyone assumes that because somebody has bad manners, they are incapable of using their computer as well as polite people.

i would find thinking that there is some mythical form of music that is universally good much more irrational. do you believe in santa claus too? the tooth fairy?

in the case of aol.com users, this generalization is unfortunately right 90% of the time.
