You don't have to consciously be aware of it not be ordered to like something for it to be a factor since it works on a subconscious level. While I agree that all of the arts are related, I still think it's a false dichotomy to say that we appreciate it the same way. Lastly, Western and Eastern are not geographical styles these days because of better communication between far distances, but they arose from exactly the phenomena that you mention. At the basic level, there is likely a genetic predisposition to liking music for most people, but what you like is inspired by your experiences.
