There's a vast difference between broadening one's musical awareness and trying to find some merit in unmitigated crap. Am I supposed to try to pretend that there's something of worth in the latest Nsync single? Some music is just undeniably bad.
Do I think I'm a better person than someone who listens to Nickelback? Absolutely not. But I do think I have better taste in music than they do.

Don't try to pretend to find something good in N'Sync. Do it because there is something good in there. If you can't hear it, then it's sad because you will have a very one-sided understanding of music.
Do you really think a fan of Nickelback will enjoy listening to the Weakerthans? It's kind of like getting a Celine Dion fan to listen to Aphex Twin. It's just not going to happen. At least not right away.
It's clear you have a very deep knowledge of music and have great passion for the music you like. You enjoy seeing others introduced to the music you also enjoy. I just think your opinions would be better served and far more effective if you try to open up and hear what others hear.
