"morally superior to those whose likings happen to be different."
Can't really see that this has happened here (certainly not from me anyway)
I have given my opinions o modern music on a thread which is basically about peoples feelings on modern music.
I've gone further and commented on the effects that modern (pop) music has on the music I believe to be important - don't see that as being morally superior in any way.
The monopolising of the outlets of music by the pop music industry presents those of us who believe that other forms deserve an equal airing with problems I believe are worthy of discussion on forums such as this.
If this cannot be done without ruffling feathers (as seems to be the case), then we may as well not bother.
As someone who finds himself fairly regularly at the receiving end of so much unpleasantness regarding the music I'm involved with, I'm a bit gobsmacked at the amount of double-standard hypocrisy at play here.
Dear - dear, who'd have thought it!!
