Think of the band or musician who you view as one of the pioneers of a certain genre. If someone fails to recognize it and just writes it off with a simple..."well they suck" Is that not just being ignorant to of all the circumstances and conditions that make up ones taste in music?
Music covers such a broad spectrum. Some could write me off for loving Weird Al, but that same person might side with me for my love of Charlie Parker. I would say age would be more a factor then IQ. That Taylor Swift fan will look back in years and think what was I thinking as she pops in her new cutting edge music and thinks god i'm so cool. And thats something I am trying to work on, allowing people to enjoy their music in peace without my I hate Radiohead rants. I've adapted a you're right attitude, enjoy what you deem great because to your ear it is great. And being one of the lower in intelligence people isn't so bad, i've been an idiot my whole life why stop now. Popping in some Taylor Swift now.
