I subscribe to the opinion that taste is both subjective and relative. Taste is subjective, in the sense that there's no external, unbiased determinant of "good" versus "bad", but it is relative in that someone who listens to a very broad range of genres and artists will have a better understanding of their own subjective tastes than someone who listens to a very narrow array of radio musicians.
I'm not interested in criticism of the person liking the music, unless it is because they choose to have a narrow mind. That is all I pass judgment on.
