nath, while I agree on the latter part, trying to tell people music they like is "terrible" is just stupid, and that's what way too many music snobs are all about.

Yeah, I often just don't care to soften the words at all. And I don't actually call something terrible unless I think it's really terrible. The role of the critic, or of the aesthete, is not to universally dismiss everything he doesn't like.
