Eh, to a very very very small degree, yes. I largely think that it's almost entirely impossible to overcome our biases towards forms of music though, which means that it's better to call it subjective because of how difficult it would be to establish objectivity on art. I've always been interested in researching music taste through neuroscience and seeing if there's some kind of "universal song" that evades culture and appeals to the human brain on an almost instinctual level. It'd be really interesting if we can circumvent composition for some music and create it on a rationalized level based on that information. We already know some things like repetition being appealing, but I think the field needs to dig deeper and see if maybe there is a level of objectivity to music.
