I grew an inflated opinion of my music knowledge after building a curated catalogue over the last five years as I really got into music for the first time in a long time.

Recently, I recommended a song or two to several people I know when music came up, based off of tracks that they told me they loved. All of them shut it off within a few seconds with a “I don’t like this.” I’ve never judged a song that quickly, maybe they know something I don’t.

Now I just don’t bother, and I have to assume that everyone’s tastes are like a minefield.
