i don't know, what do you think people see in music you hate? xp
I don't outright ~hate~ a lot of music.
But for instance: I am not a big Bob Dylan fan. I think this is because I'm less interested in lyrics than I am in interesting sounds, and I also don't find much appeal in traditional folk/blues structures. I suspect that Dylan partisans are, generally, the kind of people who sit down and pay attention to words and who not only aren't bored by the trad structures but find strength and emotional depth in them. It's not my cup of tea, but I can see how he appeals to people who listen to music differently than I do.

about some artists i (uncharitably) think that the only thing ppl are getting out of listening to them is getting to be the kind of person who would like that artist

See, I think that's as true or untrue for people with good taste as for people with bad taste. There's cachet attached to nearly every aesthetic bandwagon.
I'm fairly used to people not hearing what I hear in music (even if we both like the same stuff) so it's fairly easy to concede that when people like something I dislike they are literally hearing something I'm not.

I'm a rock/heavy metal fan of long standing and Lex is entirely right about Yuck and Girls.
Also this: "Beatles

Richard Florida mapping Pitchfork's top tracks by geography:
Greater New York (including the five boroughs and immediately surrounding suburbs) took the top spot, generating more than one in four of all 2011 Pitchfork hits. Three of them come from my home state of New Jersey – two from Jersey City’s Real Estate and one from Nutley’s Clams Casino (also the birthplace of Martha Stewart). London is next with 16 hits and Los Angeles is third with 10. In fact, these three super-star pop culture capitals account for just about half of all of Pitchfork's 2011 hits.
My adopted hometown of Toronto is close behind with seven (including one for nearby Hamilton), followed by the San Francisco Bay Area with six (four for San Fran and two for Oakland). Atlanta has four, and Vancouver, three.

So yes, we're starting with a subjective assessment, one that is heavily skewed toward English language acts in the indie, alternative, and hip-hop genres. It's also admittedly one that's on occasion been mocked as out of touch or overly snobby. Still, it’s as useful a barometer of what’s hot at the leading edges of popular music as any. And for our purposes, it turns out to be quite amenable to locational analysis, too.
