People's individual preference is a thing, but it does not explain anything. But one can seek to understand the aesthetics of something none the less.

- arrakeen 4y agotry to think of it as an artist with complete and total mastery of rhythm and electronic music production at play. play being the key word here-- he's having fun
- laumars 4y agoYou cannot explain it though. I could say I'm drawn to Aphex Twin because it all sounds really diverse but someone else would say they disagree and prefer rock music because Aphex Twin sounds really samey. The problem with conversations about personal preference is it's not a rational decision. You either like something or you don't. Someone could try to intellectualize why they like something but ultimately that reasoning only applies to them.
- overthemoon 4y agoThen why talk about it at all? I disagree with this argument. It has observable qualities, and those qualities can be discussed. Preference is one thing, but there's more to discussions about art than what one prefers.
- laumars 4y agoI agree however the question asked was specifically about preference.
