If anything, it opens the user to new genres. Opening yourself top a style of music that you just don't like will likely keep you away from the genre for a long time. Trying to find out what makes the genre good by analyzing it is what opens a person to exploring the genre. And that's the whole reason I'm into shoegaze, hip hop, a lot of electronic genres, and more. In fact, that mental process is practically the basis for my Loveless story.
