variety is essential to life.

sometimes learned. each person probably has a different reason why
they have learned to like microsound music. maybe these reasons can be
generalized into a few trends, but this may be leaving out all the
important parts.

also, some people may just like the music, viscerally.

it may. i think there's a wide variety of experiences that may lead
someone to seek out microsound-like music.

i don't know if this can be generalized. can people like music without
a supporting intellectual process? can people dislike music without
any rationale for it? are these preferences less valid without
'argument' behind them?
