>I mean, me and me friends have left more than one party because we'd rather stroll around the neighbourhood than endure the music the DJ was playing.

Was it because the music was bad though, or because you were opinionated against it? E.g. "me and my friends, we don't listen to 2-step garage".

>Admittedly that happened more when not using drugs but it's not like drugs suddenly just make you accept anything.

You'd be surprised...

One may not like certain music, but like with other art it gets into tricky territory to objectively call it bad :) Anyway: yes, it was because we found the music not good. Or not up to par with our expectations. Or not matching our current mood.

I don't have strong opinions against music styles anymore since I went through puberty, the only period in a lifetime where that can be forgiven. Haha, I was one of those idiots who thought metal was the only true music and anything with an electronic beat under it had to die and rot in hell and fans thereof needed to be actively made fun of.

Of course life is so much better if you just listen to literally anything and decide based on what you hear. Which didn't take long to realize. That being said, there are a lot of genres which usually don't do anything at all for me, i.e. which don't make me feel a thing. And others which I almost cannot stand listening to. Most of the time individual songs though. Completely normal, but not the same as being opinionated against it.
