>he describes music as "accessible" or "challenging"
Some music absolutely is more accessible or more challenging than other music
>>121551380Climbing a mountain is challenging. Sitting there listening to music isn't fucking challenging.
>>121551380An album being more "challenging" doesn't make it better, I feel like so many pretentious losers claim that it does though. Sometimes simplicity with a bit of experimentation is better than obnoxious avant garde noodling
Accessible is a codeword for good
man i was about to sperg out here because i can't tell how serious you're being because i'm actually autistic but all i'll say is this: what people mean by "challenging" is it requires some context and fluency in certain styles of music to understand. if you don't have reference points for a genre or sound you won't be able to evaluate it in any meaningful way. some genres/artists are further from the western popular music we are growing up around and so when you are first exposed to them you will have no reference points at all and will find it very hard (read: challenging) to engage with. a lot of challenging music sucks but unless you have some fluency in the musical language it's dealing in you have no real way of knowing that. but i agree with saying things you don't like are bad on principle so you should keep doing that
>>121551326accessible = sounds goodchallenging = sounds bad on purpose
>>121551326For me, Bach is challenging. I'm too much of a musiclet to appreciate it. A man has got to know his limitationsBeethoven is more accessible for me
>>121551326"Accessible" means product and "challenging" means art. Simple as.Note that neither of those categories have anything to do with the actual quality.
>>121551646of course not but its still an effective descriptor>>121551612understanding bizarre and unique music can be challenging, like Jazz for example

>>121551326Either a piece of music sounds good and is a joy to listen to or its shit.
>>121551612Hearing music passively isn't challenging, but actively listening to and appreciating certain music is.

>>121554258Music is for entertainment.
>>121554283You live such a shallow life.
>>121554283Having your boundaries, expectations, and understandings pushed can in fact be very entertaining.
>>121552560Maybe if you're a fucking retard lol. >>121551326All that really matters is if you enjoyed it end of the day.
>>121553584>Unique >Challenging>Genre which is 90% elevator music Funk and Soul Music are simply better. So is Classical.

Anything that isn't popular now is challenging for people. Also undanceable things, but it depends a lot.
