There's nothing wrong with writing off entire genres or subgenres; it's entirely possible that a particular style is just unappealing to some. Besides, even if you don't write off the entire genre, who doesn't become less inclined to check out a particular group once they learn it's in genre X, which you only like a handful of bands from & even these don't get much rotation....
