About this quote
- What does it mean?
- The speaker dismisses a musical act despite admitting they have hit songs and a good beat. He gives them a zero score regardless of their musical merits.
- In plain terms
- I do not like them even though they have good music, so I rate them zero.
- What can you take from it?
- Personal dislike can outweigh objective quality in your judgment.
