Mainly the latter, though I suppose I can use the former to justify it. :)

My taste in music is decidedly strange, it's all over the place, but the music that everyone is supposed to agree on—instrumental jazz, the Beatles, classic rock—does nothing for me. It's not that I despise all pop music or anything like that; I just want my music to do something interesting on one or more levels. Ninety-nine percent of Beatles songs don't.
