What are some of the inherent qualities of patrician music? Also are there some songs/albums/bands that really objectively high quality?

Well, imo, good music should have depth to it. Not necessarily the lyrics, but it should be reward multiple listens. Detailing, digging more stuff you didn't noticed at first.
Also, it should adhere to something. An ideal, theme, or just an aesthetic. And it has to be coherent in it.
Another great thing to have is personality. Being able to tell the band apart from their contemporaries or similar bands in the genre.

I would say that a patrician is able to both enjoy music and view it from a realistic perspective to understand why they enjoy it, what qualities make it good and bad. Music is a very dynamic medium, there's no formula for analysis that isn't entirely irrelevant to some kinds of music.
I would say that it's a combination of sensory enjoyment, objective analysis of quality, and being in the habit of researching music that make a listener a patrician
Who the fuck cares, just listen tot he music you like.
patricians are in general people who are self sufficient with taste and CAN BACK UP THEIR OPINIONS like holy shit
the difference between plebeian and patrician isn't who likes Loren Connors and who likes Kendrick; it's who can explain why they like the artist the best
teenagers and plebs say "IT JUST SOUNDS GOOD GOD" while adults and patricians explain why it sounds good

>feels superior for listening to "intellectual" music while lacking the musical knowledge to fully appreciate it
