I totally agree. There is no reason to say, "I hate hip hop/country/rock/gospel", cause how can you hate a form of expression? Maybe you don't like the entire spectrum of pop artists within a genre, but I bet everyone would like one or two artists from any genre. They just have little chance of getting exposed to the right artist.
