re: Does The Average Person Have Poor Music Taste?

Or do they just not have the same passion for it to expand their taste?

I think this is it as a general rule. Most people just don't care. They like music for the peripheral social things. Like music to go out with their friends and listen to while getting drunk. Or repetitive music that is just easy to dance to. They want something easily digestible that most people will recognize.

I think there's also an element of simply being closed minded. I can be closed minded sometimes even though I do make a real effort to be open to new ideas. But a lot of people don't care enough about music as an artform to even consider that they are being closed minded.

It's also easy to just think that most people are stupid, but that's probably just too easy and arrogant of an excuse to fall back onto.
