You know that this is quite insulting? People have many different reasons why they prefer certain music. There is genuinely nothing wrong with that. I don't think that there is any reason to look down on others just because they don't share your preferences.
Edit: I would also be careful when I use words like "serious" or "professional" in an environment in which I only want to devalue and dismiss certain stuff. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it's technically bad or unprofessional...
I'm not insulting anyone, I didn't say they *are* inferior, I said it makes them feel inferior. Serious music doesn't have the connotation you think it has. It's used to differentiate between
Unterhaltungsmusik (U-musik) and serious music. U-musik is popular music that isn't done purely for art (like commercial music). It has no negative connotations.
