It doesn't have anything to do w/ music theory.  Some people are
physically sensitive to it.  Sometimes I find something out of key to be
painful.  No shit. I heard a blind guy interviewed on NPR once who had to
listen to just-tempered instruments, because well-tempered ones were too
out of tune for him.  Even then, he found some classical composers to be
discordant. 

Personally, I find it to be a curse, especially since there are so many
tone-deaf people making techno.  There are 3 tracks on Big Soup that I
can't listen to, so I think the question is valid.
