People judge on thier own tastes and thier own assumed superiority , music can be so many things and the criteria for measuring it must be just as diverse.
I like a lot of ridiculous little ditties that as far as the purists are concerned are shit songs , they fail to understand that the songs weren't written to show off intellectually but simply to entertain , in this they more than succeed.

Assuming that your own taste in music is somehow superior to anothers is simply a sign of arrogance.
If someone reads Dante and Ralph Waldo Emerson, then of course his taste is superior to someone who reads kitsch. Call it arrogance if you like, but the same thing applies to all fields.
overgrowthegovt Reviewed by overgrowthegovt 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
