Very well put. I don’t understand any kind of “hate” for music. Just don’t listen is you don’t like it. I don’t like most country music, rap, pop like Brittney Spears type stuff. I have a very effective way of avaoiding it. Obviously, some people out there like it. Good for them.
I liked the Ramones and other similar bands for a while. Mostly because my next door neighbor and all her cute friends liked punk and I was trying to hook up with as many of them as possible. Probably the best reason to like a certain kind of music...
Oddly enough , the only Ramones LPs I bought were the first 3 with Tommy on drums !
Saw them live twice : once in 1978 in a small Hartford , CT club with Magazine ( Howard Devoto of Buzzcocks fame ) ; and again around 1980 at my Alma Mater UCONN at an outside concert . They kicked ass . No messing around in between songs - 1 - 2- 3-4 !
