I'd say that's fostered by upbringing. I think that anybody has the potential to enjoy any type of music if they're exposed to it in the right climate.

Overanalyzing can't really be combined with just listening. But it does lead up to it in a way. After a while, the listewner becomes so experienced at analyzation that he's learned to judge the overall quality by instantaneously picking it apart and putting it back together. That's because the listener knows what to look for, so there's no need to spend too much time analyzing it. It becomes instantaneous second nature, and thus "overanalyzing" it becomes a false label because it just takes simply listening to it to decipher it at that point. It becomes a second nature/mental reflex.
