I wonder if there is an analogy here to classical music. Most lay people would probably not be able to appreciate the technique, difficult, and musicality of certain pieces, but trained ears would appreciate the fine details.
As a consequence, most people prefer “easily digestible” music such as pop music rather than highly refined classical music.
- phonypc 5y agoCounterpoint: I know absolutely nothing about music, and generally prefer classical to modern pop. I know a lot about food/cooking, and think McDonald's makes a great burger.
- noirbot 5y agoSure, but I think the analogy is more appreciating the difference between the best orchestra playing a piece and a more average one. Or why one Bach composition is "better" than another one. I like classical well enough, but I wouldn't pay hundreds of dollars for good seats to hear a specific soloist in a specific theater.
