    Or, that taste is subjective and that there is no right and wrong. You are allowed to not like something others do.

      This is true, but you should really give something a good few listens before you come to a conclusion. Good things can turn bad just as much as bad things turn good.

        I truly wonder where in my post I implied that I am drawing significant conclusions without giving something a good few listens. Again, I think you are making assumptions of my listening habits based on severly limited information presented to you.

          Because if I listened to a minimum of 4 new albums a week then I wouldn’t have the time to repeat any.

          It was applying your statistics to my habits.

            Understandable, except you forget that you and I are in fact different people with it sounds like radically different listening habits. Cheers ✌️

        No, I think you’re absolutely right and it’s comforting to know there are others who do this too. I have a kind of 3-5-7 trial period for getting into new music. If it’s crap but I want to give it a chance, I’ll do 3-5 album plays; if it’s ok but has potential I might not see, 5-7 plays. Anything challenging but enjoyable gets minimum 10 plays.

        About the self inducement, that is making me question myself a little. There are things that I’ve tried over and over to get into that I just cannot no matter what, but I’m seriously questioning if it really is possible to “make” yourself like something through type of, I guess familiarity?

          I think the counter argument to self inducement is that I can really go off something that I hear too many times (usually on the radio). Even if the first listen wasn’t too bad.
