Do you have bad taste in music???

Music is 90% marketing. It's been that way at least since the 18th century when Benjamin Franklin marketed his paris glass harmonica concerts as being "a tone so pure it would drive men mad"

Depends what you class as good with so many types of genres, styles and types. One's good is another's bad

Good or Bad Means Nothing Music Is Music Take It Or Change The Channel Dude !.......Click ,,,,,See ? Its as easy as that !

There is a small handful of great composers in human history. Most of which lived in the era of classical composition. Now, whether it be country to rap to pop to techno to whatever, most of today's "music" consist of repetitive rhythms and choruses. That can't be good. But I do know a style that is absolutely bad. That is the style of Arnold Schoenberg, Henry Cowell, Alban Berg, Anton Webern, Hanns Eisler, John Cage, Lou Harrison, Earl Kim. It seems these guys were intent in destroying real creativity in man's ability to compose beautiful music. Their style can be describable as the soundtrack of a bad horror film.

hes right. i hate bad music, there are very few good new artists. i can admit i have some bad songs in my collection but at least 95% are good. considering i listen to all genres and launguages i can get my hands on, i would say i have amazing music

If you don't like The Bad Plus you have bad taste. All other music indiscretions are forgivable.

I have bad taste.
but i have heard worse, I cant stand cars that drive by with mexicano musica,....too much tuba!

Musical sensibility is subjective, but it also tends to communicate something about the listener somehow as a cultural marker, from their social background to their personality type, and even their level of intellectual curiosity.

It depends upon who likes it or not, there is no need to actually judge music.......

I already addressed this on the "Why Music Moves Us" article, but I may as well repeat:

Laerton is clearly either a "Westboro Baptist Church member" or a "Sacha Baron Cohen". He's either a crazy ideologue or a trolling prick.

The funny thing is that he rags on music that *is* genuinely overrated, but then he cites classic rock like Jimi Hendrix and The Who as if he was different from any other typical classic rock elitist.

I wonder if he knows that there are people out there who think of the music he listens to as simplistic, overrated garbage.

Maybe he should try Toru Takemitsu on for size.

While there is truly some horrible music that could be categorized as "bad". Taste in music is subjective. Everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes. If he is saying that what he likes is better than someones else music choice based on superficial reasons. Then he doesn't have a valid argument. If he is saying music bad just because it's on the radio or TV then I only partly agree. While I don't like most stuff on the radio there are good songs. Seems like he is of the mindset that if it's popular then it must suck.
