I’ve been trying it. You know you gain a lot from it. If you sit there, and try really hard to forget the social context you are used to, i’d bet something like 10$ you’ll like britney spears. if you truly listen to britney spears with fresh ears, you’ll probably like it. I think this might have advantages besides the ones i mentioned above.
You could maybe even use pop music and things of the like, to train yourself to think independently of groups. If you can sit there and like pop music, and your friends (being that you dig LW) are anything like mine, this will certainly be good training for how to make decisions and value judgements independent of cultural context.
I already know I’m capable of enjoying Britney Spears, but if musical taste or sophistication is an objective thing, I don’t think I have very much of it.
I can no longer enjoy all the writing I once could though, and I would not choose to like it again if it would require me to sacrifice what I see as the refinements in taste that caused me to stop liking it in the first place.
