There's just as much a chance of you liking the album the 13 year-old girl recommended as there is a chance of you liking the album the 30 year-old guy recommended, assuming you haven't told them anything about what you're into beforehand.

How am I egotistical? I'm just bringing up an idea. Settle the fuck down. Ignorance of music does factor into liking it or not, its not a black and white world. You're just being naive for the sake of your argument.
