That's a hot opinion to have.

Do you have any arguments to support this?

Not op but going to answer for him. The thing is with having a favourite album, song or band is that it seems almost like it gives the whole search for music bounded to an endpoint. If you claim to have found a favourite thing you have basically assumed that music you find in the future likely wont match your current favourite, leaving you in a dead end.

But naturally you will find a favourite , but that doesnt mean its ok to settle for shit. If any of us had said "My favourite song is [song in the top 40's]" we probably wouldnt be finding any good music at all, so dont stop searching because there is always more music to find.

That's a very strange thing to assume. Usually a "favorite thing" automatically implies a current thing/state. People change and so do their preferences. It's completely normal and should be basic understanding.

Of course nobody can force you to settle for a favorite (I have a hard time to do it myself), but claiming that it somehow makes you superior seems silly. Especially if your arguments for it are just baseless assumptions.

Yeah I guess you're right. Its just my opinion, i don't like to keep favourites because of what has happened to me when ive done so. The thing is when I used to pick favourites, I'd soon get bored of them. But that may not be the case for others i suppose - like you said yourself tastes can change.

So I dont think its a plebeian thing necessarily but can lead to plebeian tendencies if you are not open minded to unfound music.
