Let me set something straight: if you are a person who admires the works of composers like Mahler, Debussy, Wagner, Brahms, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Verdi, Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Strauß, Bruckner, Ravel, Saint-Saens, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Chopin, Sibelius, or any composers like these, then you are a person that enjoys having your ears tickled by emotionally manipulative “art” that is completely lacking in intellectual complexity, substance, coherency, and subtlety. You enjoy gulping down the fermented festering feces that these sacred cows have poured onto your plate and down your gullet. You enjoy settling for mediocrity disguised as creativity, you enjoy the experience of these bullshitters ejaculating directly into your face their obscene compound of smug artistic haughtiness and paradoxical cynicism. These people replaced genuine craftsmanship and honest, thoughtful expression with ungodly excess, jarring chord changes, screeching brass sections and laughably insincere pastiches of folk melodies. If this is the kind of music you champion, then no you are not an individual possessing good taste. Yes, you are a stinking pleb.
What if you like (most of) those people but also prefer Monteverdi, Palestrina, Bach, etc.?
