I don't consider it a prejudice.  I also strongly consider CM more
substantial than popular music.  That's a prime reason I switched from
rock to CM many years ago.  However, we make an error if we assume that
"substance" is what's wanted by most young persons, or older ones for that
matter.  I'm not going to tell young persons that their music is of less
substance, because it is not relevant to most of them.
