nsp makes an important point. "it takes a different set of ears to absorb and appreciate a new direction. Some people try and they get it , others try and the music does not resonate with them." Music can change over time, sometimes as listeners we follow that, sometimes we don't.
For an example I believe I mentioned this once before. When I first heard Ornette Coleman around 1960 I considered that pretty far out (non-melodic), not something I enjoyed at the time. But time passes, we learn and our perspective and tastes can change. I can't say exactly when but at some point his music was no longer off-putting and I "learned" to enjoy it. Today it may still not be the "norm", but it is no longer nearly so far out.
