Are consumers the elite?

not so much fair as a statistical no-brainer.

Would It Also Be Fair To Assume That No Music Exists That A Majority of People Would Enjoy?

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 21 December 2006 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

The majority of people probably do enjoy the most popular music.

Just that the maj of people don't actually buy it.

Do the majority of people like music, full stop?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 21 December 2006 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

the majority of people are only aware of the most popular music, and most of them probably dislike (current) popular music as often as they like it

Would It Be Fair To Say The Majority Of People Do Not Like The Most Popular Food?

would it be fair to say that there is no way to measure what is actually the most popular music?

I don't know, man, food's a whole different deal and, I imagine, a little less convoluted. You're gonna find a lot more people who will argue against the musical supremacy of Michael Jackson or whatever than, say, the inherent worth of pizza or french fries.

i would never argue against the inherent worth of pizza.

what i'm saying, yo!

Is this question really saying "do more people like 'minor interest' musics (such as, say, jazz or folk or Boredoms or gabba) than like 'popular music', if the demographics of the 'minor interests' were added together?" i.e. More fans of the whole spectrum of jazz than of Robbie Williams?

― Sick Mouthy (sickmouthy), Thursday, 21 December 2006 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll assume the vast majority of people don't even know who Robbie Williams is.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 21 December 2006 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I think more people may be aware of Sonic Youth than Robbie Williams

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

in America, for sure

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Would it be fair to say that a majority of the people are either Robbie Williams or Sonic Youth?

Worldwide too.

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 21 December 2006 22:49 (seventeen years ago) link

pull up the charts

and graphs

More Americans know who Sonic Youth is, but Robbie Williams has sold more records in America!

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Thursday, 21 December 2006 23:09 (seventeen years ago) link

sold or shipped?

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 21 December 2006 23:11 (seventeen years ago) link

These statistics just in:

Most Americans who have heard of Sonic Youth only know them as a name on a t-shirt worn by Kurt Cobain.

Most Americans think Robbie Williams should never have made Patch Adams.

plz to recolor map

― jw (ex machina), Friday, 22 December 2006 04:00 (seventeen years ago) link

hahahaha

Yeah, but my district went Sonic Youth (I voted for The Ramones, but now I fear they were a vanity candidacy that took away from Sonic Youth's chances. Still, Thurston had campaigned harder in Florida...)
It's really a much more purple map.

And I'd wager that you could find a song that a majority of Americans would like (probably something like Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay or Heard it Though the Grapevine). Otherwise, we live in the broad overlapping plurality of America, my friends. And I'll bet fewer people actively buy music than vote. 35%?
