> From my perspective: This is evidence something is broken with humanity. Or not. I mean, it allows us to like basically anyone or anything as long as we put in the effort. It reminds me of this quote by Ghostcrawler (Greg Street): "Almost every time I have gotten to know a critic personally, they keep up with the criticism but lose the venom." > I like every genre a lot short of hip-hop and opera Actually, let me comment on these two genres. Hip-hop is incredibly diverse. It does not have to be in English, or about violence. There is nerdcore, too, for example (my fav is Dual Core!), and all kind of hiphop/rap in different languages. (Personally, I like Spanish a lot, but as a Dutch person I am also fond of early Dutch "nederhop" such as Osdorp Posse.) Opera, I thought I don't like either. Turns out the other evening, whilst I prefer female singing voice in general, that the opera (female singer) my partner was listening to hurt my ears very much. We then tried Luciano Pavarotti and a myriad of other opera, and I got no problem with these. I could enjoy them. But not the specific one she was playing. It felt like a saw (needle) through my ears.
