I mean if someone thinks that sort of musician that treats music like video game achievements and thinks that playing power metal solos at 3 times the speed makes them a good musician then they're free to think that too, just don't expect anyone older than someone who's gone through puberty to take you seriously.

Truthfully? And I'm not just saying this either. You think pretty closely to how I do with what a good musician is to me, I'm serious too. Which is sort of surprising to me because you'd think a band like Bush wouldn't appeal to me, and instead we would be agreeing about the kind of band they are.
So, yeah. Pretty much what you said is what a good musician is to me, too. I could elaborate if you'd like.
