I think it's like eating super hot (spicy) foods, after a while, you don't notice you don't have any taste buds left and have to eat super hot to taste anything. Same with people who listen to super loud and fast, too much aural input ruins the ears. I once saw the Paul Butterfield blues band in Florida at a bar, sat in front right next to one of the large speakers and after the show my ears rang for 3 days, literally. Imagine people doing that for years on end. What's that? Can you speak up, you're mumbling.......

i don't think that's what the op is talking about (literal noise levels) but i stand to be corrected.

Certainly. Anything that bears more than a passing resemblance to a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag has to be good.

Then you should have asked: do you think fast and loud music is better?

The answer is: some fast and loud music is better than some mellow music, and some mellow music is better than some fast and loud music.

In jazz many songs were slowed down leading to more intensity and improvisation. i'm sure it can work taht way with rock as well.

Your grammatical slip let you down. The passive "considered" after the expression "In your opinion" specifically means the question is about what other people consider and not "you" (i.e. us)
