Nothing music does this as well, and manages to be dramatic at the same
time.
Ultimately it comes down to what you like. I reject the idea that just
because somebody says a piece of music is good, I am morally obliged to
like it. I like a piece of music because I enjoy it, not because
somebody tells me to like it. This applies equally to the people who
tell me that I'm required to like Handel and Ravel and to the people who
tell me that I'm required to like R&B and hip-hop.
