Hey, I pretty much feel the same way. I don't make a point of it, you
know, telling people that their music preferences suck, but I keep it to
myself and if it comes up I may discuss it, but it's generally how I
feel. There's a lot of music I don't like. And because of that, it helps
me find what I *do* like. And really like, at that. I don't have a lot of
"mediocre" music, I generally have a lot of "great" music and get rid of
the good-or-worse crap. I have less because of that, but that's ok.
It doesn't make me elitist (at least in my mind), cos I don't really care
what other people like, and I don't think less of people because they
listen to the radio or enjoy pop music (hell, my girlfriend listens to a
lot of irish and scottish folk music (although some of those accordian
players are absolutely amazing)). It just helps me focus on what I
actually like, instead of hunting for the golden needle in the
feces-riddled haystack.
I mean, if you like everything, do you really like anything? There's a
saying I like that goes with that, about people who just like everything
without discerning their preferences: If you try to make love to the world,
you end up getting fucked.
derek :D
