How should we react to music we don't like?

Come to think of it, I'm not sure if I really "dislike" any kind of music.  Hmmm....

 Dear Bob:
 There is only one word: respect. In spite the fact you like or dislike, that you think something is genial or crap, the work and composer have nothing to do with it. It's just one's opinion, but people seems to want to be right, to have the final word, and to know what is good and what is not. However, I really don't care anymore.
Best wishes!

Don't listen to it.

[counterpoint]

Don't listen to it twice

Take a cue from 16th century England: Throw rotten vegetables...

Find the sheet music, spit on it, and burn it.


otherwise, I don't listen to it.

Is this a frequent habit 

Seems a little extreme

Try repeated listens.  Many pieces that I hated at first grew on me and I begun to like them.

As I already said

If you want to be sure that you don't like a piece:

Don't listen to it twice!

If you can't say something good about the music, say nothing at all.

Heartily seconded.

If you dislike a piece of music INSULT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurl insults at it and anybody who likes it!!!! Learn it and play it badly!!!!!! laugh at people who play it. buy all the cd's from the shops and burn them so nobody else can hear it!!!!

This would get the point across

(an image flashes through RC's mind of franzliszt2 in a padded room wearing a straighjacket, yelling "I hate it! It's the worst drivel in the world!  Why do those idiots keep restocking the shelves?! Anyone who liste...".  The door shuts and a guard locks it.)

Only when I can actually find the sheet music
Don't worry about paper, I print it off school. You see, utilizing resources to the fullest.

That's how majors proceed to make people buy millions of crappy pop cd's...

No, that's called marketing.
