This is making some significant assumptions, don’t you think? That I sample the buffet does not mean that I don’t also cherish and return to familiar recipes.

I’m assuming you have a similar amount of free time as me and are not able to fit in enough listens to become familiar.

I have no kids, no pets, and a job where I can listen to music the entirety of my shifts while working. I have music on in some capacity probably an average of 12 hours a day. 4 albums a week, when listening to them each 6 six times, is a fraction of my listening.
Music listening is my primary “hobby” and interest.

I don’t this works with all music.
The first few listens I thought it was garbage. But I decided it must be me who is wrong, not everyone else.

Or, that taste is subjective and that there is no right and wrong. You are allowed to not like something others do.

This is true, but you should really give something a good few listens before you come to a conclusion. Good things can turn bad just as much as bad things turn good.
