These are all fairly juvenile, incoherent positions, if what these imaginary people mean is that one is somehow "better" than another, on some nebulous, linear scale.
>it all seems subjective
And you need to stop there. Unless you're adopting some sort of Platonic/"music of the spheres" framework, a theory of ideal forms, which I'll be delighted to argue against, then it all IS subjective.
>but in my effort to prove that >electronic goes beyond them all
Again, on what scale? Is there some state of perfection you're judging these forms against?
