Do you really believe you have a good taste in music?

Lets talk about taste. Do you really think that top 40
music, is good music? Do you really think that alternative
rock is good music? Do you really think that IDM is good
music?

Music is all very perceptive. To me, good music is anything
that fills the listener with the intended (or unintended)
emotions. For me, listening to top 40 elicits no emotional
response.

Music like progressive rock, IDM (as well as other
electronic music), and classical minimalism all feed into
very different but equally important parts of my emotional
being. When I feel more connected to the artists that create
these works than people I converse with in everyday life,
that is when I know I'm listening to good music.

What kind of connections are those? What kind of needs do
you think music fullfills?

talking about music is like dancing about architecture.

The connection to me is a deeply emotional connection. When
I'm listening to music that I really love, I feel as if I
know exactly how that artist felt when writing that piece of
music. It almost feels empathetic, in that another person
has experienced the same emotion as you.

Again, I think the needs that music fulfills are emotional
ones. As I mentioned, feeling a sort of empathetic
connection to someone you have probably never even met is
something special. Relating one's heart and soul to another
through sound is incredibly beautiful.

that's where the art pops in.

On topic: 'good' music is only subjectif isn't it? But I do
believe that I listen to good music most of the time

Jivver,
not sure why you are so bitter at little freqy.
You have it all, be happy.

considering a whole genre as good or bad doesn't sound very
realistic

So, we are talking about emotional responses. Well, most
techno for example, is pretty monotonous. Do you think
people who enjoy this kind of music are emotionally not very
well developed?
Maybe they even have a bad character?
I recently listened to a talkshow where some musicologists
discussed classical music, or whatever it was. I think
thoses people wouldn't think much of most electronic music.
(Not that I care or anything)

I find it's a silly pompous load of old rubbish of a quote.

And yes, Monoid, I enjoy my taste in music.

I don't like that quote either. You see if you just think
you can consume art on an emotional level, without any
intellectual 'work' you are missing out a lot.
It takes maybe a bit understanding in the historical,
philosophical or political aspects of the artwork or art
itself to really find a better access to it.
