I also don't like either chanson or classical music, simply because I don't like them. And if we're being honest, in a certain sense, they are pop music. Metal is pop music, and everything around it is pop music, and people get paid for practically any kind of music.

Regarding the point about "mastery" instead of music... 89% of beginner bands are exactly like that, and some that aren't eventually sometimes sink into this swamp. It's just a personal observation.
And there are also examples that will last forever!)))

By the way, in that thought a few posts ago, I wanted to say that a master is someone who can create something beautiful regardless of the resources spent and their ability to use them.
