Why do we hate music we hate?

I honestly can't picture you listening to metal. What was it?

Yeah that's him. Godawful. I tried to like it, but after the first three seconds or so I had to give up. Hey, I gave it a fair chance!

I guess the takeaway here is always think hard about why you feel the way you do about music. Cause I wish some of the people around me would do that.

fixed.

The other bolded: no, not really. For me, there's no great secret to why I like certain music. I like it cos I like it. It makes me feel a certain way, I like the lyric, I like the melody, I like the idea of it. I don't have to explain that to nobody, which is why it irked me in the past (and still does, though to a lesser extent) when I find myself having to defend music many see as "shitty" but which I enjoy. I don't think anyone should have to defend their music. JTF is constantly on D'Angelo's dick. I hate that music. But do I let it bother me? Do I tell him constantly that I believe his music taste sucks?
