Are you a musical snob? |

Location: Tennessee | I think I'm considered a musical snob because of what I like, not what I don't like. It's not that the other stuff is bad, it's just that what I listen to is sooooo much better. ;) |

With that statement, I had to go with #1. I may not understand or like rap, but someone out there sure does. |

2. All music appeals to somebody. While true there still is good and bad and sometimes bad is bad. |

I voted as a musical snob, sarcastically.

This one was kind of tricky believe it or not. I had to go with #1 because even though I agree with the last statement its only my opinion based on my personal taste. Who am I to knock someone else for listening to something that I hate when they could be saying the same thing about what I listen to. Just dont push yer rap on me buddy! ;) I keed of course. |

Good Music.....Jim Croce
Bad Music.......Someone struggling to learn to play Jim Croce correctly (like me)
Rap...............Someone who would pop a cap in Jim Croce's dead body for his bling bling.

As evidence I submit that most of the World loves Polka, David Hasselhoff, Celebrity Mandolins and Football (Soccer). |

Location: Orlando, FL | I used to be a snob, what's weird is as I get older, I'll listen to anything to check it out. OK, some of it I don't like. But I think most (still have trouble saying all) music has some value.
My Dad used to play Classical Viola, Violin and Cello and taught chorus in public schools for 25 years. When I was growing up, he always told me Rock and Roll was not music, just noise. I would try to get him to listen to stuff I liked, but he was never able to approach it with an open enough mind to listen.
What makes bad music bad? Lack of substance, lack of musicianship, bad message? |

Location: Maryland, USA | I'd say Lack of substance and musicianship.
It always bothers me that I'm way better at guitar than tons of new bands that are making a a buttload of money.
Lack of substance means a lot of bands these days I just hear whining about their lives. Nothing really innovative... |

Question:
How much of the output can be computer generated before it stops being music? |
