I agree with some of the stuff you guys have been saying. I'll just add to it by saying someone with bad taste is someone who listens to music for the wrong reasons. For examples... Take two people who both love the hell out of Limp Bizkit. One of them listens to them because they legitimately find their music enjoyable and they helped them through some rough times... The other listens to them because the popular kids do so it must be pretty badass. The latter has bad taste in music. I may be able to say Limp Bizkit is horrible personally, but if you can give me a real reason why you like them I think it would be wrong of me to say you have bad taste in music. Ill informed, maybe.

Edit: yeah, also what Dave just said.
