That's the hole point of me saying 'There are some good Emo bands you just have to plug with someone who knows them.... a nod to whitlelake.' The whole subtext of that was I found someone "who have spent more time in x-genre " you're talking about.

If you say you don't like emo, from my pov I don't see that as irrational, just as your personal preference. I think it's up to the you to call it an "irrational music hatred." I wasn't judging you for not liking emo. I was just comparing notes, since I like some Prog which you like, and some emo which you don't like. I'm not saying that Goofle11 is saying you don't like emo for a lack of effort. But he said it so soon after you said you don't like emo. I was just responding to that. Not in your defense, but generally - that people can choose what they like and don't like. I don't find it necessary to like everything. And if you don't I don't see how that is a lack of effort esp. for members here who put in the effort in finding music more so than the average person.
If you consider those who "spent more time in x-genre" are those who generally speaking narrow their interest to that particular genre. Which goes back to what I said about spending time and effort in things which one likes.
