For me I've often found that my music taste has a lot to do with whether I feel the music is relatable. If not just a matter of whether I can see myself or my life in the music, it might just be the attitude or aspirations reflected in the music. Ofc with music that's pretty subjective on its face, and it's also possible that I'm just projecting that onto music I happen to enjoy for some other reason....
But at the very least I know I've found myself getting turned off by music that I might otherwise like just for a lyric or a genre switch to something I couldn't relate to. That might also explain why at different times in my life I've been into different music, and why music sounds/feels better when it matches my mood.
