You do light upon a very important point. Today, it is en vogue for a music fan to sit you down and tell you how they enjoy Einsturzende Neubauten and Nujabes and Emperor and Merzbow and Kanye and Mongolian Throat Singing and.....
The idea being that people who listen to one or a few genres are narrow minded, as opposed to the wordly cosmopolitanism exhibited above.
