I really hate music elitism.
“Oh, that’s not real music. Because I don’t like it, ya see? You’re not allowed to like things I don’t.”
I hate country music, but I don’t go around claiming that it’s not real music or that people who do like it are inferior, I just don’t like it.
I also hate the idea of “EDM artists just push buttons.” Sure, when you put it that way, all Beethoven did was push buttons, all Jimi Hendrix did was pluck at some strings. Anything can sound small and boring when you boil it down to it’s simplest form.
This, +1, QFT, etc.
I used to be a bit of a music elitist a few years ago, but then I realized that was childish and silly. Now I don’t even care for what I considered “real music” back then.
