I’ve talked about this with some of my fellow aficionados, that some things just have a spark, an ‘X’ factor and that despite some of those things not being your thing you can still appreciate the ‘X’ factor in them.
This can be well-made music, a mechanical device (headphones, watch, gun, car, keyboard), a TV show, a painting, a joke routine etc.
I have no name for them but there is a particular type of person that can see the ‘X’ factor in Illmatic, a Subaru boxer engine, an M4 assault rifle, a well-modded pair of headphones, a Rembrandt and a clever joke, despite not being into hip-hop, preferring electric cars, being pro gun control, mostly listening music in their car, preferring modern art, and never really being much for jokes.
