> it doesn't line up with the expectations
This idea of expectations comes up often when up when discussing music, and I get the impression that that people have stronger expectations than I do.
This whole situation leads funnily enough me happily listening all sorts of "complicated" music (jazz/prog/classical/electronica), not because I appreciate the complexity in any intellectual way, but because it just sounds fun. That of course doesn't help me reinforce any music pattern parts of my brain if I listen music that intentionally breaks all the conventions and "rules"
