Musical Preference

So there I was, sitting in the lunchroom, picking olives off of my mexican-ish food substitute, when I looked over and lo(!), there was a kid putting tarter sauce on his pizza. How can this be, thought I, that is wrong, gross, and distinctly un-American. I demanded to know what the perpetrator was doing, accusing him of civil unrest and culinary harrassment. His reply? "It tastes good to me, you should try some."

THE HELL!??!?!?!!! There can be no way that that stuff tastes good, and besides, tarter sauce is for fish. But there it was, solid proof that unencumbered and at least moderately intelligent people can like the oddest of things.

...Which brings me to music. Can people actually really enjoy their country/rap/metal-core mixes? Is it pleasing to them? It must be, is what I am forced to admit, and for that I shall try not to judge too harshly, and focus more on skill than purpose. For now.
