I have a degree in Music , so I kind of have an eclectic taste that covers just about everything and I ' ve never really had trouble finding music that I like . I don ' t know if I can really point to one specific thing that will make me like or dislike a songpiece of music , but I tend to make pretty quick judgments on whether or not I like something . For the most part , I agree with your feelings about vulgarities and sexual innuendo in music as well . Something that one of my professors used to say that always stuck with me was , There ' s no such thing as ' bad ' music , just music you don ' t understand , which is basically supposed to mean that even if there is a type of music you don ' t like , the peopleperson who made it understood it , they made it for a reason and , even if that reason was just mass marketing to the unwashed masses , they made it in order to share it with a specific demographic of likeminded people . For example , I used to hate atonal music , but , after I learned a lot more about it , I now think its fascinating and really enjoy listening to it when I ' m in the correct mood . Check out rlistentothis or rlistentous for some off the beaten path stuff from a huge spectrum of genres . If you want to give me some examples of things you definitely know you like I can try to give you some recommendations , but keep in mind that I ' m not 100 % knowledgeable in every subgenre of a subgenre .
