Ok, you call it "personality", the rest of the world calls it "being an asshole".

Except it does. Some music demands concentration, the ability to understand themes and motifs, to be open to new ideas and new cultures.

No, it doesn't. What you're referring to is called analysis. You can do that if it makes you happy, but it has nothing to do with listening to music. If that were the case, computers could write perfect songs. The amount of chords, the complexity of the composition or the tempo changes have nothing to do with creating a good song.
But then again, seeing what you like, you probably wouldn't know a good song if it bit you in the ass. Which is why you have to justify your taste by putting down others. A classic sign.

Poison demands the listener to enter a 1980's timewarp and has nothing more profound to say than "Every Rose Has it's Thorn". C chord. G chord. C chord. G chord. C chord. G chord. If that's all it takes to satisfy your mind, your heart or your soul, you ARE a ****ing idiot. It's practically the definition.

And again you're completely missing the point in order to try to let us know how intelligent, creative and completely perfect you are. Except you have no idea of "music". Music is about emotions, feelings. People like different things and are allowed to do so. You do not get to tell them their wrong, because you know nothing about them.
The only reason your having this "conversation" is because you love Cheap Trick. A band that created their (very moderate) success by dressing as outrageously as they could and wrote easy-going pop-songs. How does that fit in with your definition of intelligence?
I'm willing to bet my IQ is higher than yours, as mine is in the top 5%. I like 80s hard rock, including Poison. I also like Cheap Trick. And Sting. Explain that.

And every time you'll make a ****ing fool of yourself. If only you had the self-awareness to realise it.

Nope, you're the one trying to make this personal. You're the one calling people idiots and retards and making claims that listenin to Poison is a sign of idiotism. That does not make ME a fool.

For example, by living in a fantasy world, reading way more into people's posts than were originally intended and frankly just making shit up -"people who think they get to tell others what to do" - puhlease, as if i ever said anything even close

You've done it again and again. If you didn't intend on calling people idiots for liking Def Leppard and Poison you probably shouldn't have said so.
