I can 100% guarantee you that I approach music differently from the casual listener, yes. Pretty sure that's not even arrogant lol.

And you don't think massive popularity counts as influence? I can find quality in plenty of things I don't like. Like I said, the difference between appreciation and enjoyment. I know the kind of music I gravitate towards and all though I may find lots of quality from some artists, I'm not running out of my way to listen to it because it's not something I enjoy as often. That's why rather than calling them trash, like this trash Eminem album, I just say it's not my cup of tea or not my preference. It's like that rap album you were giving Goofle **** for not enjoying. He recognized the quality of the project but just could not enjoy it because the content went against his views. And don't pretend the personal views of an artist does not influence you're enjoyment. It's kind of weird that this concept of appreciation vs enjoyment is lost on such a huge music nerd.
Edit: On top of that, bringing up reasons on why you enjoy an artist or a song or what ever takes it away from being a subjective conversation and put it into an objective stance because you are then trying to validate your opinion to others who aren't really appreciative enough to try and understand where somebody is coming from. If you don't appreciate music you don't like then what's the use of discussing it when you're just a wall of opinions. You'll never find or understand something new, you're just there to push your opinions at people then **** on them for not having the same ones, which I guess some people could find that fun. Or maybe you're hoping for an echo chamber so we can all **** on the same ****. Which would be cool, I'd hope that we all hate Hopsin enough to **** on him.
