If it were not for that freedom you would not have access to the Mahler symphonies, Beatles, and innumerable composers/artists before and after.
Inevitably people will choose the art they like and very, very few ascribe any meaning to any of it.
Personally I like the three "B"s the best
Beethoven, Brahms and Black Sabbath.
I like a lot of drama in my music, with minor keys.
I have only 24/7, so I need to make informed choices about what gets my attention. That means passing on something I may like: alchohol, nicotine, sex, cocaine, excessive speed, unexamined life, pop culture, money, media, and music. Things like this can ruin my day. It has to do with keeping an edge, keeping a sharp mind. It seems that there are too many things that weaken and keep me from excellence. Things that weaken remind me that I struggle against death, every day, no matter how important those riffs are. And I have completely different views about satisfaction. There are views about human satisfaction weaken. Moderation is a nice principle, but having power is even better.
