maybe against my better judgment they tend to signify "cutting edge" to me, at least in a pop context (that is, pop defined narrowly in terms of song form and genres associated w/commercial radio play)
and so i often get a bit excited when i hear them in a pop record.
if other ilmors share this inclination it would help to explain a good deal of the excitement here over certain records of recent years.
on the other hand maybe i just like complex digital high-hat patterns.
