On: What It's Like for a Deaf Person to Hear Music for...

[guard-of-terra]

I am too under impression that your music taste is a product of a long and sophisticated coevolution between you and the music you like.

Without it, you might appreciate a piece of music for its qualities, but not actually enjoy it. If you get to hear the music of some unknown civilization, you won't likely enjoy it right away (and they won't enjoy your favourites).

So I'm willing to sign off his enjoyment on novelity. Any mind-opening new experience makes you ecstatic, but it's not the content - it's the form. But this effect wears off and you start to be choosy.

This is the best description of musical taste I've ever seen.
