when i was younger, 20s and teens, i used to have a lot of prejudices, against jazz music, against country music, against hiphop music, against latin music, against african music, etc, etc.
at least 3 major reasons for these:
1. i thought bad things about cultural expressions that were alien to me because the mode of being that they promoted made me feel uncomfortable, and i simply was afraid of things that i did not understand. i was an insecure and ignorant child.
2. i was generally against a lot of "happy" sounding music because i was an angry young man.
but i am lucky to have lost all of these ridiculous, restricting, silly, SILLY prejudices over the years... and realize that it all really is connected...
Any dance music trying conspicuously to incorporate "real", "live" muscianship. But I suppose that's a fairly standard prejudice.
that's because you haven't seen
Ngoma Soundsystem yet
i dont know why but i have a fantasy of taking people with music prejudices hostage, and playing records for them in the areas which they are prejudiced against, and converting them in a matter of an hour.
