Okay... so the other day, my roommate and I were driving back home from the gym and my copy of Amnesiac was playing. As soon as You And Whose Army started, in just a few seconds of the intro, my roommate was like 'what the hell is this?', made a face and urged me to change the track/CD. I just went... "it's an acquired taste" with a smile. The guy mostly listens to top 40 hip hop, r&b, techno and some radio friendly rock. So I guess I can't blame him for saying that. After all, that one's a particularly difficult song to get into on first listen! But most of the people I meet seem to be the same way! Pleased with whatever's catchy or on the radio. Actually, it's more like music is not even THAT important in their lives. It's just something in the background. I can't even imagine being like that!
I guess what I'm really wondering is... Does it all boil down to personal preference (the classic 'subjective' argument) or do most people not even TRY to appreciate 'interesting' music that's different from the banality of top 40, something that the artist has spent a lot of time and creativity on? I don't want to come off as a music snob but this thing kinda bugs me sometimes.
