It seems that my definition of it differs to you folks, so I wanna know how you guys define a guilty pleasure compare to how I define it.

My definition involves these different situations/interests:

1) Something you felt uneasy/negative about at first, but then ended up liking for some reason.
2) Something that would lead to physical (as well as verbal/mental) assaults no matther how much you try to defend/ignore
3) An interest that you know is flawed/has its faults, yet you like it because you can't help such a feeling. For example, a song with full racial/sexist lyrics. You may be aware that the song is heavily flawed for its sexual/racial lyrics, and end up thinking “Damn, they are right about this criticism", but you can't stop listening to it! (I could also use Nicki Minaj's Anaconda video as an example for males, because such a "seemingly" objeciifying video may still get males sexually aroused to the point of wanting more of it.
4) Liking something that is “out of character/different in personality and approach" compare to yourself. Like this metal guy who admits to liking some pop acts!

Woofgang, I was going by the definition of the metal critic in the video from #4. Although he don't care for others negative opinions on it, he still consider him listening to those artists a guilty pleasure because he knows that a metal critic listening to those artists is out of character.
I think he’s wrong. I don’t think a metal critic can have a generic character any more than its sensible to say that all plumbers have the same character or all mothers or all of any group of people. Additionally, no one is only one thing.... metal critics are also fathers, sons, mothers, artists, gay, straight, trans, religious, teetotallers, drug addicts, criminals, pastors and so on.
