Eric's House Of Ego

I come across this a lot with books, music and art. My taste is very personal and I try to convey that it's not based on the quality of the work or artist but my own proclivities. Most of the time it just helps to joke that I don't really have "taste" but that doesn't always go over well. Concentrating on how *many* different genres and styles there are sometimes helps folks get it too. The problem is, of course, that many folks who think "What I like is good and what I don't is bad" often think it's a cop-out, but I've learned to *sigh* and move on from those conversations.
