"hink, in general, people will take your arguments seriously if they are well constructed and well supported. If you just said something like "Radiohead sucks," then, yes, you would be marginalized, and deservedly so, because your argument is inflammatory and unsupported. However, if, instead, you said something like "Radiohead is overly grandiose in their attempts to convey a sense of the modern condition, and their lyrics are often cryptic and undecipherable, leading one to question whether their writing is purposefully ambiguous or vague simply because they are unable to articulate what they really intend to say," then I think at least some people would take you seriously.

Well, I'm sorry to say that when things matter, judgments will always come into play. People will judge your musical tastes because they feel that musical tastes matter. People don't judge you by the video games you play, but only because they don't think they matter. However, the truth is, I do judge people, at least a little bit, based on the games they play. Because I feel games matter. And I've judged you based on this article you've written, based on your arguments, based on your usage of language. YOU SIR, HAVE BEEN JUDGED. Get over it; it's not such a big"
