By far my favorite analysis of the concept of TASTE. If accurate, I think Gracyk’s analysis undermines how most contemporary music criticism is both produced and presented. Uh, save Indie Street’s criticisms, obv!
If you enjoy, also check out Gracyk’s other philosophy of music articles, which have a similar tone, style and “pluralist” bent.
