Okay, you know everyone tries to put everything in boxes, color code it, and make sure it touches nothing else, ever? That's stupid. No matter what you're talking about, it WILL be connected to something else. "But, Philippe," you say: "surely there is some concept completely devoid of connections to another, right?" Eh. Not really. Just look at the (singular) human race: we try to categorize people, be it Caucasian, African, or Arabic. But if you were to put all of the characteristics we use to define these categories -- let's call them "sub-races" -- into a database, along with a picture of every person alive riiiight... NOW! and tell it to sort them by sub-race, it wouldn't be able to. There is simply too much overlap.
Now, if you apply the same concept to other things (books, movies, music, blogs), the results are similar. Sure, these things are more categorical, but there's still a ton of overlap. That's why Pandora will occasionally throw a song you hate at you.
This being said, just because something doesn't fit in a category with other things you like does not mean you won't like it; the best way to stop being picky is to expand your tastes.
I'm done ranting about why racism is a false concept and why my blog can be whatever I want it to be, so I'll leave you with this: Go. Try something new - you might end up finding a new favorite band, an author you just love, or a food you get hooked on... like sushi.
