So how do listen to the multitudes of artists who not only in the
microsound genre (though it's usually more prominient in this genre) but
other musically genres release highly repetitive music? 

I am not trying to be argumentive here but instead I have a genuine
interest in finding out how your reconcile the dichotomy that advertising
featuring the music ruins the music for you due to its repetitiveness (or
as you put it '...my favourite music repeats itself over and over
again...") ruins the music when the music in itself is often highly
repetitive.

Thanks,

John
