On Music/Art Criticism

I've been thinking a lot about this soapbox issue of mine. I'd just like to remind everyone that no type of music is inherently superior than another and just like anything else, all preferences are valid. That being said, let's also remember that you can be a fan of a musician/band/artist and not like a certain piece of theirs for whatever reason. "Not liking" is not the same as passing a jugement on whether something is good or bad. Who has the authority to call something good or bad art, really? There's a difference in not liking something and saying it has no worth, a statement which I believe is just not true when it comes to most art. All art matters to someone, somewhere, which means it's worth something. Unless it is hurtful or harmful, hating art is rather like hating a Teddy Bear; altogether useless and unnecessarily aggressive.
