How subjective is music, really?
Yes music is subjective, its art. Most modern pop music is made at 72 BPM. the earths resonance, stars, and the universal magnetic pulse is also at 72 BPM. its no wonder why people like pop music so much.
JeffersonBud Reviewed by JeffersonBud on . How subjective is music, really? People always say everything's a matter of taste, and that's true for what people should listen to/read, etc....as far as actual quality, though, you can't really say it doesn't matter if you prefer Shakespeare or Danielle Steele. Same as music, I think...can everyone's tastes really be respected if some prefer MTV trash to the works of, say, Hendrix or Bob Dylan? Just a thought. Rating: 5

Technical proficiency with an instrument is much less based on opinion than whether music is "good" or not.
But that's just an aspect of a musician.

How subjective is music, really?
Yeah, I think the criteria for quality is as follows:
1. Feeling
Is this music an expression of the auteur's soul? Or was it created in an assembly line fashion for a quick buck?
2. Technical proficiency
In a band, are the musicians virtuosos or two-chord hacks?
3. Versatility/innovation
Do they cover new ground or are they just a concrete imitation? If you listen to one of their albums, is there a range of song types or do they all sound the same?
If ALL someone's looking for is a beat to dance to, their musical opinions are worth nothing, just as a gourmet's opinion on food is worth a lot more than someone who just wants something, ANYTHING, to fill their stomach.

You could far back as Dire Straits (and they milked the hell out of MTV) to find MTV-influenced bands that seem to have this label as being shit music, but in reality, their music is timeless.
In reality, preference and taste are huge factors in how one determines what music they like. They are bands who are innovative groundbreakers that never get recognized until much later, like The Velvet Underground and Brian Eno and they are many a band that fail to live to the hype they generate and are long forgotten. It doesn't mean that low art is the phenomenon of the day. It's simply evolving with artists being more free from the rein of record companies.
