what about people appreciating the same music in two different ways? some like Tool because it is rooted in complex mathematical whatever, while some like it because it "rawks".
i hate the whole "musicians are more qualified to distinguish between good and bad music" argument. just because you know the difference between keys and chord forms and time signatures doesn't make you any more qualified to say what people should or shouldn't like. Music, like any other art, is 100% subjective. My wife listens to complete shit music (by my standards) but does that mean she shouldn't listen to it?
what's hilarious is whenever i get into this type of argument with music student snobs, i invariably come to find that they like bands like Dream Theater
