Well, a pro is somebody who gets paid for their music. an amateur is somebody that doesnt. Simpleton definition.

But you can also easily tell who is a talented musician and who isnt. The subjectivity lies in that gap.

And, you can also think somebody is a great artist, but dont really care for the music. THATS subjectivity

And you can also like something by somebody who doesnt have a lot of talent.... pick a punk song and roll with it.

Likes and dislikes are similar to facts, and we do tend to say what we like is a fact, but there are also differences.

Somebody can be the greatest chef in the world, and makes an outstanding Chicken Cacciatori, it can be the greatest dish ever but if you hate chicken, you wont enjoy it. You'll go to 7-11 and get a burrito instead

I used to think the same exact thing. "The only difference between me and that one is they have world class band, engineers, producers, labels, and I dont."

How would Taylor Swift even make an album without all that expert assistance? She couldnt.

But she had something somebody thought was great, and thought shed make alot of money. she did.

Subjectivity is a strange thing. every little detail can be a matter of subjectivity.

But anybody old enough to know The Beatles let it be, will ALWAYS say its a better song than hmmm bop.

Even though they might secretly like hmmm bop
