As far as saying one type of music is shite and something else is great, it
seems like the type of comment made due to a severe lack of judgement.
Maybe you firmly believe there is some objective standard for all music and
think that your musical tastes perfectly coincide with this standard and
fans of britney spears, garth brooks, and john tesh (i've picked pretty
loaded examples :)) are just confused and "don't see the light" like you do.
If that's the case, this has degenerated into the same kind of unending
argument that religious debates usually sink into. Just like I think its
okay for a muslim to tell a christian that their religion "sucks", its
perfectly okay with me for you to dislike and even talk shit about music you
find crappy. But what I take issue with is when you decide that something
you don't like isn't "music." I'm sure you can finish the religion::music
analogy.
Basically, trying to find definitions is, like someone in a previous post
stated much more eloquently, really futile. To me, it doesn't seem to serve
any purpose except to justify your own "i have good taste in music" ego.
But, go ahead, united steel worker of america, keep reaching for that
rainbow.
