I very much agree with the base premise here, but I do think with art (music, movies, books, etc) there can also be value in working to appreciate that which does not immediately reveal itself. Sometimes good art doesn't catch you in the first 10 mins and you need to spend more time with it to fully appreciate it.
That said, there are plenty of times when this advice is absolutely on point. You should never feel guilty or bad for abandoning something you aren't enjoying.
- maroonblazer 2y agoAgree. This is where doing a little research can pay off handsomely. The first time I listened to Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring", I didn't 'get it'. But people in the know held it in very high esteem, so I gave it a few more listens, and eventually it opened up for me. It's now one of my favorite pieces of classical music. If I'd given up after 10 minutes I would've missed out.
