"Democracy" is the reason I hate most of the music I hear.

I would reply to that but it's easy to misinterpret a statement like that. What do you mean by that?

The popular stuff is what is frequently played which is what appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Ahh. Yeah that makes plenty of sense lol. I agree for many pop songs.

And it's your friends who know you well enough to bring you music you do enjoy hearing.

Actually, no, because there's only a small subset overlapping the music we enjoy.

all that means is your friendsmaking strategy could be optimized wrt music recommendation
