having developed at least an appreciation for, if not a preference of, music that is more advanced with regards to composition, performance/production/execution, and innovation. That doesn't mean that house is better than trance, or rock is better than hip-hop (though it almost uniformly does mean that music commonly categorized as 'classical' is musically superior to that of almost any other genre), but it certainly does work to define the quality of different tracks or albums within a certain genre. Some may, in general, have a tendency to lend themselves to releases of a higher quality (for instance, punk is not exactly filled with the most ingenious of creations), though. That's not to say that something basic and unoriginal can't be enjoyed, or that a piece of music can be great simply by means of being highly advanced and innovative and produced at the highest level, but it does mean that to be "musically mature," one should be able to, at the very least, recognize and appreciate the differences, even if his personal preference does not always lend itself to an enjoyment of the 'musically superior' of options.
