There is a way to say truth...
We can let the reader attain his own conclusion without imposing it or we can suggest it... 😁😊
Music is not first about taste or only entertainment...Sorry...
We are not crocodiles arguing for our rotten corpse taste freedom right here...
We dont need "a flag to be proud of " to unite all those who, like larsman because they never had any musical education and evolution, think that their apparent "freedom" to choose the only musical world that they know is not unbeknownst to them, an direct expression of their own mental chains....
Music and sound is not about "tastes" freedom first and last ... Music is about cultural education and sound is about acoustic / psycho-acoustic knowledge...
But nowadays it is a bad, very bad thing to say the simple truth...
Even elementary one...
Everybody ask for the freedom to sniff HIS shit...
Are we a society of tribal apes arguing about evidences?
"Freedom" is for mature citizen when they act, not for children in school waiting to be educated...The music teacher is not in the obligation to serve them and their freedom with the usual commercial shit and justify and approve their ignorance...Teachers are free mature citizens...They are not the slave worker of the pupil’parents money...
And by the way all " popular" music is not "commercial" shit music...I say that for the idiots who will confuse the two categories to destroy my argument...I like many popular music pieces for musical reason..
But we must distinguish the two and learn how to do so with a musical education....
And if we own an audio system, we must learn how to listen with an acoustic education...Marketing brand name "taste" choices express often only complete ignorance even when they are justified by sound design science ...Acoustic basic fact are not "tastes" categories about brand name products even when they are good products sorry ...Learning how to listen is NOT BUYING a piece of gear, even a good one...
