The philosophy behind my definition of music.
(This is just something I wrote a long while ago, for a dating site)
I have a broad musical taste. Often love a good pop song, and occasionally ones that are not too good. That's kind of general, so my criteria for quality is not sophistication or innovation, but catchy-ness, and the energies which the song (or the piece) bring with them, the way they make you feel. I generally try to stay away from chewed gum songs-these are the kind I used to like once, or that you think I would like, but had just got worn out by playing them too much. That means I constantly look for something new to listen to. In these voyages I don't get too far away from my home port. I'm far from being "fringe", to put it that way. Other type of music which I hate is Parve music. Parve is a term in Judaism which relates to food which is neither milk nor meat. In colloquial speech, Parve usually means something which is boring or has no spunk (or any kind of other character to it). So, forgive me, Madonna, Sting, Keren Peles, Mashina and company-I'm sure you're trying…of course there are songs which are exceptions.
What I like:
