this means several things:

- a song can have shit chord progressions (or even no chord progressions) and I can still enjoy it a lot but if a song has uninteresting rhythm I cannot possibly enjoy it (ambient-anything is out)

- rap music that just loops a beat (like 90s underground rap) is fucking hellacious for me to listen to

You've just turned feelings into words here. It's so awesome!
I second that.
