If 14 year old me liked it, then it was perfect for 14 year old me. Different music for different stages of life. I generally care less for aggressive music now, but that doesn't mean that I should consider it in bad taste.
It's just an expression that makes less sense to me now.
I like to give all sorts of things a chance and to come back to things I've dismissed again. My goal is simply to try to see the value in every kind of musical expression - which is why I give time to both your King Crimson's and your Mariah Carey's when I'm trying to expand my horizons. They should be expanded in every single direction.
