I grew an inflated opinion of my music knowledge after building a curated catalogue over the last five years as I really got into music for the first time in a long time.
Recently, I recommended a song or two to several people I know when music came up, based off of tracks that they told me they loved. All of them shut it off within a few seconds with a “I don’t like this.” I’ve never judged a song that quickly, maybe they know something I don’t.
Now I just don’t bother, and I have to assume that everyone’s tastes are like a minefield.
Lots of people are so closed off to anything new. Like literally there's a meme about how most people's music tastes are set in their high school era and that's so sad to me. I especially like a lot of songs and artists that defy easy classification, straddle multiple genres, or will kind of mash up different styles in a single song. I like artists that are willing to push a boundary and expand on the idea of what a 'song' entails. So if I recommend a song to someone and they don't even listen past the damn intro, that's the last time I'm taking anything that person says seriously.
