There are a number of reasons for this, the main being that, music is in the ear of the beholder. Music is meant to bring pleasure and if it does that for only one person, then it’s done its job. All kinds of music from all kinds of genres can make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. If I only restricted myself to 1 or 2 genres I’d be denying myself those pleasures.

If there’s one trend I hate it is the trend of liking bands (or genres) because the type of people you hang around with say you should.
For those reasons I never tell anyone that their musical taste stinks even if I don’t like it.
So in summary, keep listening to what you like, and don’t give a toss as to what others think.
