Ha, really? I skipped through that video 30 seconds at a time, and it was just noise and someone hitting some random (sounding) keys on a piano to me. Totally distracting.

Funny how different people's tastes are. I wonder where they come from.

For comparison, here's[1] a song I love to listen to while coding, mostly after about 1:45 but especially at the 3:20 mark.

(Also my first listen). The piano repeats exactly the same 4 clusters over and over. I wouldn't call that random. It's soothing to me after giving it 60 sec in the background.

Skipping ahead 30 sec at a time is definitely a sign you don't like something. What are you hoping to find at the end? :)

Anyway, you're right. Artistic taste is personal. Sometimes I think the majority of our judgment is more about avoiding turn-offs than really feeling something new.

Your link sounds nice to me at those times, too.
