Not to be a slimy bugger, but I don't think this is completely appropriate in the General Music forums.
Don't let it get you down. Music is always a touchy subject for people to agree upon. Some people think that there is an objective difference between good taste and bad, but really, it's all a matter of personal choice.
That kid you mentioned -- he probably isn't a bad person, but just needs to learn to be more accepting of others. Still, that's no reason to grow despondent with people. If I was waiting for someone to share (or even approve) my collective musical taste, I'd be waiting for a very long time. When people try to make fun of the music that I listen to, I like to remind them that I don't pigeonhole my taste in music to just the genre that I'm listening to.
