Yup, it will always come back to this. There is simply no argument that music is something other than subjective.

Just curious, why do you like it? If you like it, doesn't that mean it's good?


Because it makes me feel a certain way. But just because I enjoy it, doesn't make it good.

There are movies I find entertaining, but I know aren't good movies.

We're just gonna have to agree to disagree, fellers

Example: I really enjoy "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship. This song is universally recognized as shitty. But I think the reason I enjoy it is that it evokes a feeling of innocence from being a kid. That doesn't make it a good song.

The reason you enjoy it is because it's good. There is no analysis outside of that when it comes to music. You don't have to offer an explanation for why you like a song. It sounds good to you. End of story.

I can agree with that. I'll listen to most anything without complaints.
