Are our musical tastes part genetic or fully inherited?

Different people have have different types of song structure and chord progression that appeal to them, and I'm wondering if this is inherited based on their environment or if genetics also plays a role.

For instance, I've been loving the Big Star song September Gurls recently, and playing it to others I know, they all either find it extremely memorable and catchy like I do, or they find it very forgettable and boring. So, does genetics play a role or not?
