than be forced to listen to off key music. Strangely auto-tune doesn’t work for me either somehow managing to bleach emotion out of anything. Then there’s a forn of middle eastern music that really makes my hair stand on end. I’ve no idea what key they imagine they’re playing in but it’s often horrible to my delicate little pink ears.
So 12-tone equal temperament is the only "correct" tuning system? That's not your perfect pitch speaking, that's just cultural conditioning
