Pretty much the way I look at it, although the second category is kind of general.
I think music can have meaning in different ways, such as its meaning in terms of what it stands for musically or in terms of musical history, its lyrical meaning, its meaning in terms of its ambition for taking music to new places, etc.
Just because you like it and you think you have good taste does not mean the music is good or that you have good taste. I often judge a person's taste on not just what they listen to but how well they can describe to me why they listen to the music that they do and why the music that they listen to matters.
I am completely open to people having different tastes than my own, but just because you say or think you have taste does not mean it is true.

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

How can one's personal opinions/enjoyments suck?
None of the videos loaded, but somebody mentioned Kylie Minogue, so you're headed in the right direction.
Best track AND best video:
The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
Perfect.

Very easily actually. Probably 70% of people don't have good taste in just about anything. Look at the music that tops the Billboard charts, look at the music that tops the box office returns.
And don't try to convince me that popular stuff is automatically good. Writing a good pop song/album is definitely an art, and some pop artists are phenomenally talented. The same goes for your big budget directors. But crap is crap, no matter how you look at it. The average song/album and movie is completely uninspired.

Enjoyment is relative to the individual. Your idea of crap is relative. Is it not better to be able to enjoy %80 of what is released than say %10? Say someone enjoys Beverly Hill Chihuahua and Punch Drunk Love. Isn't that better to be that person instead of someone who only enjoys Punch Drunk Love? There is exponentially more means of enjoyment for someone who tends to be very relaxed about what they do and do not enjoy. I absolutely loath the idea of BHC being #1 at the box office, but I, in no way, should judge someone's opinion of the movie.
Isn't their something like Metacritics that you can point to as indisputable truth to find out what's a good or bad song?
On a serious note. No Safety Dance= bad taste in music.

I am all for people enjoying as much as they can, but there really are so many "good" movies and so much "good" music out there that you really don't even have to waste your time with that mass-produced vanilla crap.
I am simply astounded to this day by how many good movies and how much great music there really is. That being said, I am also astounded how many bad movies and how much bad music is out there.
