You are still never going to be able to argue someone into liking
hip-hip if they don't. Which usually seems to be the genre mentioned
that sets you off. Not everyone wants to or has the time to be a
musical 'renaissance man' - and trying to discover all that is good
across all genres is often just a quest for cultural superiority, the
Martha Stuarts of music. Sometimes it's more fun to be hardcore on one
genre - for the newsgroups and the festivals and other social aspects -
and it's easier on the pocketbook as well.
And then there's the 'Maximum R'N'R' crowd - hate those guys.
