well you are being difficult on this...of course that in order to form a good tatse one needs to have a 'worldly' insight -- into music, in this case. i do like oriental music, for example, but i absolutely detest internationalised crap, such as hip-hop or pseudo-alrernative rock...so, maybe i should ad elitist to cosmopolitan, but i certainly don't need to update my dictionary, beacuse your own definition (ie the definition you quoted) emphasised 'sophistication' which then certainly included the process of selection....hence the Narrowness of my prefernces, which only enables the high quality of my prefernces (in my own, individualised framework of taste, which i don't intend to globalise as a common standard of quality)...also the quality of narrow or open-mind-ness is an individualised category, and it cannot be objectively 'measured." i hope this helps!
