For some people music is just music...a catchy tune or a melody, something to whistle along to in the car or elevator...and for such people music is just music and all music is equal.
For other people music has a context, defines a moment, a feeling, a place or perhaps a relationship and music is so much more to them than just the music....Rock n Roll or Punk Rock are two examples of this.
Technical and progressive music comes out of the first group....Soulful and spirited from the 2nd....Neither one is more "correct" or "better"....they are just different and though peoples tastes can and do change I think the 2 aproaches are poles apart and un-mixable...and now I've forgotten what point I was trying to make and am just gonna go back to playing my uke!
