I disagree and I don't even try to explain, you're pathetic.......
You complicate a way too much...

"There are only two kinds of music...
  good music and bad music"
                        Duke Ellington

And when someone asks me what music I like, I tell him :
a) Nothing particulary, I don't like music so much.
or
b) I love good music, you know everything that's good.
or
c) I listen to TECHNO.
It depends on my mood what I'll say, but I allways say
something from this 3 options.

btw, intelligent techno term is total bolloX , but nevermind....
