My thoughts: Nowadays we may have deep and weird attachments with algorithms. I don't know if this is a bad or honestly even a new thing. The music industry and its attempt to market music could be considered a type of algorithm, or even multiple algorithms. Defining and marketing genres of music "algorithmizes" the product I think - if genre X sells, then more musicians will try to call their music genre X and maybe even modify their product. And people who grew up in the physical medium heydays of the 60s through the mid 90s are definitely attached to their preferences.
