I do agree with this. Especially people who will make a judgement about a band without listening to them because they are in a genre that they don't like.

I'm sorry. I can't take this post seriously. And I was asking a legitimate question.

I am not super into Jazz and Avant-Garde music, but I wouldn't say anyone who listens to those genres has a bad taste in music. I think intelligent people can spot if you are generally listening to what is considered "good" and "bad".
Also, this depends on who is saying "You have a bad taste in music..." to be honest. I was told I had a bad taste in music yesterday from somebody who mainly listens to Snow Patrol, Creed and Coldplay.

I didn't mean that in a way that there is an excuse to say someone has bad taste. I was saying that when people generally think someone has bad taste, they just aren't listening to what you prefer to listen to. Looking back, I realize how confusing that wording would be.
Like....if they were listening to jazz as you noted, and you don't listen to jazz that much, you wouldn't find the music too appealing at first. The more popular judgement is to go toward assuming they have bad taste, though they just don't listen to what you like.
