It is difficult not to be close-minded... I mean, It's near impossible to get a decent feel for most genres and sub-genres... when you start looking at the umpteen million genres there are across the world - I like what Rai and Soukous I've heard, but I don't like any high-life I've heard. It would take me a long time to find something I did like from it, precisely because there's a million bands all over the world competing for space on my shelf. I don't think it's necessarily close-minded, just a willfull ignorance; although, there are a great many people who are close-minded, but that's because they're twats more than anything.
