What is "good" music?

Southperry policy is to ignore reality in favour of weak rationalizations. Therefore, good means whatever they think is good must be truly good.

Actually, if you'd look at my first post in the thread you'd see I posted one very nice track and one that I considered pomegranate even though I like both of them. However, I'm sure there are people that find the one I consider pomegranate to be amazing, and the other that I actually consider to be good music to be pomegranatety with something like "it's boring" or "too soft" or "pretentious pomegranate" or "Japanese music".

None of which actually explain why the song itself would be considered bad though, more like they're explaining why they don't like the song. The one I consider pomegranate is pomegranate because there's pretty much no singing talent, the instruments (although I will say are arranged uniquely) are everywhere. Then again, that pretty much fits with the crappy vocals. The song itself doesn't really evoke much emotion, it's more for listening than actually moving. The lyrics are at least artistic in their own way though.

Eh, true @false dilemma.
My point was that people can still use the "different tastes" thing in order to justify that an artist who puts little effort/no effort into their works (and it shows) is actually good, which would be wrong.

This I agree with, but at the same time effort doesn't always equate to a better product. Not to completely throw the idea out though, I usually prefer music that doesn't sound like it had a computer randomly generate the song itself while someone autotunes over the computer generated track.
