With the royal approval of @[lector], I would like to propose a few questions that might (rather, #might) clarify a little the long-standing issue of the criterion by which one is de jure a citizen, or rather a subject, of the Capish kingdom of ancient times.

1) Are there, in your opinion, objective criteria for the evaluation of a musical/film product? (Please justify your answer.)

2) Assuming that many, although this does not apply to us, shape their tastes based on auctoritates rather than sincere appreciation, do you believe that the (more or less reasoned, more or less visceral) inclination for a certain work can be separated from the imagery that it carries with it? In other words: do you think that being, for instance, a frequent attendee of Slayer must necessarily make you a hater of Mùm (and vice versa)?

3) Do you think that being Capish is merely a matter of façade (therefore showing oneself as an admirer of X and a despiser of Y) or is it primarily a matter of mindset (considering oneself curious and musically omnivorous)? Which, as you can see, does not exclude at all that, having sampled everything without prejudice, AFTER having tasted and not BEFORE, one might ultimately refine their palate in such a way as to make informed judgments about the quality of X or Y.

Thank you for your attention,
