Couldn't agree more about enjoyment as being valuable on its own.
I say uncultured, as in my engagement with the genre(s) is rather surface-level.
Plenty of great music out there that I don't know of and lots that I don't feel because I'm not in the right setting for it physically or mentally nor can I necessarily be.
IMO shaming enjoyment is a cheap alternative to sharing tastes and encouraging open-mindedness. Shaming in general just tends to push people away and only serve the ones who agree with you... not that in the grand scheme of things that's always undesirable.
Seeing some of the fondness for mystical atmospheres and Ukraine, and in the spirit of clubby electronic, I figured you might like this artist I just found today, Svarog, maybe the track Canyon?
