I must admit if I actively don't like music that has some sort of critical acclaim, I tend to think that this my failing and I just haven't been able to access the part of my psyche that would be fulfilled by what I'm hearing
(a bit like 'The Diceman' idea that if you force youself to do things that aren't your choice then this provides a different type of fulfilment/self knowledge).
So in musically terms I do keep on doing this and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. However given that I am a well-adjusted person and not a lunatic, I'm also quite happy with my bread and butter of punk and alternative.
