I'm sorry if I misinterpreted what you wrote.

In case you misunderstood what I wrote, in turn, I have no problem with people having different conceptions of what is good in music.

As for "fistfight worthy", well, I don't believe anything is worthy of that. Violence, or the threat there of, is rarely a worthwhile option for resolving differences of opinion... particularly when they're nothing more than differences in taste and personal preference.
Well I can understand why you'd think it's an insult, so maybe I should've clarified that too in the warning I wrote about my rant. In either case, I understood what you were saying, and I really do think that movies have been a great way for people to "get to know" a lot of modern music by virtue of having ...the actual movie, play into the context where sound sorta works in ways they can relate to. I guess. But maybe the reason people later buy the soundtrack (Encounters, the shining, etc) is because of the movie and the whole "experience", rather than purely the music.

And, I don't really like violence. I think it's entirely unnecessary, which I hope goes without saying. I just used the term for emphasis.
