Why do you think you like the kind of music you like?

I like jazz, and world music, and a bit of classical. I find them very interesting, and there are no words (which I can never understand). There’s usually a lot going on inside these kinds of music, either structurally, or sonically.

I find the song structure (found in rock and folk) to be more likely to bore me. Things are often the same, even to the point of using maybe two pitches in the entire piece. The same chords are repeated over and over, as well as the same rhythms. I keep wishing they would go somewhere else, but it doesn’t, and I get somewhat frustrated.

Why kind of music do you like? Why do you like it? This is about personal preference with no judgements about other people’s taste (I hope).
