Music critics?!

3 steps ahead said:What do you guys think? Can a single music critic really be expected to judge every single genre, the way it constantly happens in our local newspapers?
In my view, they just can't offer a professional opinion on music they don't even listen to normally...
They don't actually know what works and what doesn't because, to them, it all sounds pretty much the same.
As a result, they end up misjudging and mischaracterizing certain styles far too often.
Here in America, anything seems possible. We've reached a point where seeing one person juggle a dozen different roles they aren't even qualified for has become our reality.
While others are out there struggling through the grind just to make ends meet—people who actually possess the necessary musical expertise—they find themselves stuck in a total drought.
A single critic shouldn't be tasked with evaluating every style. They technically *can*, but then you lose the quality and objectivity of the critique itself, which is the last thing any of us want...
