In Response to Stephen's Question

The subjectivity of art appreciation is a large factor in its enjoyment. Many people take a liking to art in its variety of forms because of its originality from other works. For example, different genres of music are most often appreciated for their unique sounds. Often times, works which show similarities to others are critiqued for their lack of originality. Each individual song performed by a musician or musical group is subjective to the listener. This subjectivity described is directly linked to the enjoyment the listener will achieve from hearing the music play. Classical music is very subjective. While one individual may take a great liking to classics, another might be more appreciative of a more contemporary style of music, and therefore enjoy the sounds created by a contemporary group more than those created by someone playing classical music. I think that it would be difficult to truly appreciate an art form even from an objective stand point (even though we have discussed that it would extremely difficult to achieve true objectivity) because the viewer of the art form contributes so much to its enjoyment. Is there a certain art form which is more likely to be appreciated and therefore enjoyed more by the majority in comparison to other art forms? For example, is it easier for an individual to be more appreciative of any kind of music over something less known about generally such as dance?
