I would hate it if music could be separated into good and bad. I love that art in all its forms is essentially a judgment-free zone: no one's opinion of art is any more valid than anyone else's. We are all right.

Thats not going to sit easy in some minds. Some people feel as if their minds and tastes are superior.

music can be divided into so many varied categories not just 2
where would John Cages 4-33 be placed in good/bad e.g lol

John Cage's 4'33" is exactly a perfect example of why music, and the purpose of music, is far beyond being simply serialization as "good", or "bad". It leaves out the question of "why?".

With that said, I still don't buy all music being equal, and all perspectives being right.

I would say some people's perspectives are better informed than others but when it really comes down to it I think what's good and what's bad is totally subjective.

That seems like an understatement for a Texan.:laughing:

Don't think anything - music included, is as simple as good and bad.

Taste and preferences in anything, not just music, are always subjective. It's not something you can look at in simple and universally accepted black and white terms as "good" and "bad", and it's really irksome to me when people choose to be that presumptuous.

It is completely subjective, quality is in the ear of the listener. Music is a personal experience, and there are elements that, whilst for some may be brilliant, fail to pique the interests of others. To go around saying 'this person's opinion is incorrect, they obviously don't understand music' is arrogant.
