It is THEIR music and THEIR thoughts behind it. Who is anyone else to disagree with their thoughts? Do people walk up to painters or sculpters and tell them their work looks like crap? No, because it is their image of whatever they were thinking about, music is no different. How can anyone say a piece is wrong?
there is one flaw in your "problem", didn't want to call it that, but couldn't think of what else to call it...
everything is opiniotive, and by giving an opinion, you will get others opinions... like somebody giving sombody advice on what to put in their fish tank, is it somebody's place to tell what the other should put in their fish tanks?... just like it isn't somebody's place to tell somebody what is good music or bad music.
and oceanist... why goth?, just curious..
