Are You a Swifty?

This “crusty old audiophile” line is tiresome.  
“When an Audiogon forum poster expresses a lack of Taylor Swift fandom, they are just a crusty old audiophile harboring an unfair bias against new music.”
This is a very cheap, easy, fallacious dismissal.  
Dismissing an opinion ad hominem on the premise that the progenitor is just “crusty and old” is just as bad as someone dismissing Taylor Swift on the grounds of “new=bad.”
If we want to debate the actual argument and do so on the terms of logic, fact and fairness, we can do that. That is an actual substantive debate.  
Making fallacious arguments is not.

i am one but there is no relation between my "crusty state"  and the artistic value of Taylor Swift... 😊

+1 , @rick847  . 

I have an old (in both senses of the word) friend who was bewildered when he in the late-70’s learned of my love for ABBA. Rock music snobs have always looked down upon Pop music. Jazz snobs look down upon Rock music, Classical snobs look down upon all other musics (except perhaps Jazz), etc., etc.

My ABBA records sit on the same shelf as my Mose Allison and AC/DC records. 😊

I used to have a couple of Abba 8-tracks.  In certain respects my tastes were rather eclectic back then, and in certain respects they still are.
