Does /mu/ care about how much effort goes into making music and the following of certain genres?
Or do you just listen to the music if you like it and ignore all else?
I listen to music

What are you implying with that pic OP?
>>65355503
You know damn well what i'm implying anon
Slow down track, add reverb and call it a done job

I would probably think there's a correlation between effort and quality, at least within a genre.
However, effort has no bearing on quality. Quality should be viewed independently of effort

I listen to music if I like it.
But if no effort has gone into it there's probably a lower chance it will be any good.
It's a common misconception that no effort will have gone into making Floral Shoppe. It might not have taken much technical skill to make, but it will clearly have had effort put into it, hence why no one's really topped it in it's field since.

where did she imply this?
I guess someone could be awe-struck by the realization that what they're listening to is the culmination of an incredible amount of work, and this could certainly be part of its' greatness. However, something can be missing a component of greatness (e.g. effort, form/coherence, great counterpoint/melodies/textures, lyrics, etc.) and still be great. Likewise, something can be great in a number of ways and still be missing that crucial ingredient of originality (which is different than innovation, of course). The greatest thing of all would of course be great in every conceivable way. I'm of the opinion that if something is wholly great but lacking originality, then at best it's a 7 out of 10.
Following genres often means that you are not an explorer, but I think that most music listeners have a "home" aesthetic that is more in line with their personal aesthetic ideals. Not being an explorer of music makes you a lesser aesthete, but being an explorer doesn't really matter to some people.

I'd lastly like to add that something can be original yet missing every other component of greatness, and in this scenario, the art is still a great work that should be listened to by any serious aesthete, but it is deficient, and this detracts from its' true greatness.

NOPE
I would care less, if someone randomized every single sample of a song and it came with an masterpiece
If you're a producer, you most likely will. If you're not, you most likely won't.
