I really don't care about any of those Pop artist you struggle with so much, in fact I didn't recognize any of those songs. I can't say I absolutely hate Pop (as in Top 40). I don't want any boundaries to swear off a genre. Although there are genre I don't get into because there is so much to hear and so little time to hear it all. I think of not listening to what I dislike as more as having boundaries or parameters. Not bothering with stuff I don't like leaves me more time to concentrate on music I like.
I might not like Pop because it's cliché, but there is other stuff I don't like because how the fans act. I somewhat sympathize with you. But it's not Pop music, I just can ignore that. I don't care for Tom Waits. It goes back to some Tom Waits fanboy I met — in real life and before I joined this forum. He was so pretentious, and dismissive of other people's taste in music. I thought well I don't want to be like that. I don't know if an artist can be over-rated by one person's opinion but I didn't find Tom Waits as good as he made it out to be.
For me not caring even a farthing about Tom Waits is like liberating myself from all those trite things music fans, or album collectors say and do. In fact I don't like to talk about my opinion of Tom Waits. I figure statically there should be some TW fans here, and I don't want offend them. In fact I don't like to say who I dislike, because fans identify so much with who they like they take it as a slight against them.

More silly bull****. You should like music because you like it, and you should not like it because you don't like it. Not liking something because of some ******* is just reactionary bull****. You may very well be depriving yourself of music you might otherwise like just because you thought some douchebag was an *******. Why should I even have to say this ****? It should just be common sense.
