good morning crap
90% of any grouping is a crap example of that grouping. Apply this to musical genres, politicos, artwork, your own creative output, people in general, anything. Because of this, your first exposure to an example of something will likely seem like crap.
Further complicating the problem is that the 90% is different from person to person.
To get past the crap, you need a system to filter out the worst 90%. This can be a friend who recommends music, job interviews to winnow out lame candidates, arts academies who vote on meritorious works, epinions, trade mags, rules for snap judgements, trust networks, search engines, and on and on. The obvious problem: 90% of our filtering systems are crap. Build a better filter, and the world will beat a path to your door.
