Bad for what? I will say I prefer music made for a video game (I  
always liked the Zelda soundtracks for n64) over some clown trying to  
get laid by making cutsey music.
I am also not going to pretend I live the in 1950s or the 1750s for  
that matter. I prefer art made for for art sake and I really am a  
person who does. I am just hardwired that way. I like hollywood  
movies and other forms of entertainment but with music I like about  
97% "art musc".

For visual art I like a lot of what is called Pop art like  
Lictenstein and Ed Ruscha and I suppose I like music that is able to  
elevate "pop" elements as well. Franz Koglmann and Fennsez come to  
mind, both Austrians - I don't know what that says.
I don't know what my real point is, I guess it is just that relating  
any art form to current culture is tricky.
