So, image there’s a pop band that a lot of people like called “Apples.” They like them because of all the reasons a typical person generally likes a pop band. For instance, the songs are easy to understand, the members are talented, the songs are catchy, they’re not too complicated… things like that.

Now imagine there’s another band people like, but they play rock, and they’re called “Oranges.” So, Oranges are liked because they’re a bit darker, but more topical. They’re a little grittier, but they’re more centered and realistic with their songs and similarly, very talented.

Now, picture a dude named Gary.

Gary likes both Apples and Oranges because his music tastes are diverse. He doesn’t care about falling into groups that feel the need to chastise and ridicule others for what they like when it doesn’t make a single difference in the lives of anyone other than Gary himself.
