I’m not sure why music writers even exist. You just have to listen to music to tell if it sounds good to you. Who cares what some failed musician thinks? In fact writers are the kind of people who make good successful people feel that they have failed.
Are you confusing music writers with music critics?
The music has to be written before you can tell if you like it or not. And making people feel like they have failed sounds more like the domain of music critics, to me.
