It's important to be open-minded, but I remember a lecturer in my Aesthetics module at uni telling us never to be so open-minded that our brains fall out.

Having said that, I happen to think it is the population at large who consumes any old pop drivel who should endeavour to open their minds. If this weren't the case, the music industry wouldn't regurgitate the same garbage time after time -which always sells without fail- in the way that it does.
