How to be the ultimate patrician?
Pretend you already are.
Spend all of your time posting on Veeky Forums, and asking strangers on the internet what's cool.
You don't become a patrician. You either are one or not. Trying to become one is a wasted effort and only gets you to the complete opposite of that goal.
You stop caring about it and try to analyze why you like certain things. A man who enjoys and critiques Katy Perry's music can easily be more of a patrician than someone who listens to swans.
Nice point user. Stop asking "what is good?" and start asking "what makes this good?".
Warning, though: if the answer is "ideology" or "power" or (worst of all) "preference," then you're on the wrong track.

'No'.
The only thing wrong with those "answers" is that they don't open the door for further discussion and analysis.

Our society and our culture are being dumbed down, and the causes are very complex.
Can you explain how my statement relates. Anyways, the music theory behind pop music is not simple or dumbed down.
