Tbe musical taste of rock listeners has been split in many branches, which explains why there were only a few rock artists on the favourite lists. The music rejected by people is what they call noisy or difficult to understand. Rock was the genre which provoked most opposition. The proportion of people who do not like jazz is many times greater than of those who like it. But on the whole, there is no set pattern for sympathies and antipathies.
Differentiation is clearer within genres.
If you like contemporary classical music you are likely to despise light classical music, and a heavy rock digger will easily hate progressive rock. Although education increases people's understanding for and interest in various musical genres, the educated have their sym- and antipathies, too.
