I guess, given the premise of this whole discussion over the last several pages, that I'd say I respect broad tastes more than anything specific like a taste for avant garde. If someone has broad tastes, they would seem able to give a variety of things a shot and grow to like them. That's really all I need to take someone seriously. If a hypothetical other person knew everything about avant garde and jazz, but didn't really listen to anything else, I'd rather listen to the musical opinions of the person with very broad tastes.
So basically I respect the musical opinions of everyone on MB. No one in here seems musically closed minded to me. I don't think so at least. I don't have a good grasp of the tastes of every single member.

You're not grasping

This I would agree with. Nobody would ever call me adventurous, but recently I have, if not stepped outside, at least opened the door and looked nervously out towards the borders of my comfort zone.

don't get me wrong, there are some cringe black metal lyrics, but you can't make out the vocalist well enough to understand much of it.

There are such things as lyrics websites you know.

No Slayer. Worthless. And I barely even listen to Arkangel anymore tbh. I burned myself the **** out on Dead Man Walking. Surprised no one said Britney Spears too.

Nobody cares.
