And honestly, excluding entire genres because you “don’t have time” kinda does make you a less developed aesthete. Your aesthetic will be less developed if you exclude entire genres of music than it would be if you didn’t. At the very least you’re limiting yourself if you refuse to listen to music based on some stubborn decision that it’s not “for you” or whatever.
I didn’t realize you did this — and maybe you don’t — so I’m not bashing you. But if you look at genres and just say “naaah,” that’s not exactly going to help you *develop* your aesthetic... erm... prowess?

I hate checking back in here simply to say that way you're saying is utter fucking idiocy, but this is utter fucking idiocy so I'm going to....do you not understand that we don't live in giant bubbles, that culture is segmented largely in accordance with taste and the reason people gravitate towards certain communities (and thereby create publications that shit out lists) are because they may feel alienated by other stuff? that's not to diss them, it's not to invalidate them, it just isn't something that people want in their world.
seriously dude for someone who's seemingly constantly moaning about how stuff like pitchfork et al are satan incarnate you're a real tastemaker fascist.
