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.
