No. Not possible.
maybe
No.
Rather strangely, I don't believe in objective good but I do believe in objective bad. Some things just seem so fucking shit and irredeemable that you have to be wrong to like them.
Music is art, and the thing about art is the only thing that matters is how it makes you feel emotionally. It either moves you or it doesn't. If it does then to you it's good, if not then it's bad. This applies to everyone so stop shitting on people's music taste even if to you it's dogshit.
Sure, if songs can be objectively good then why can't your music taste?
It's not possible to prove whether a song is objectively good, therefore objectively good music doesn't exist, and therefore neither does objective taste. So no.
Yea, Scaruffi
theyre objectively good if therye the ones i like
to a certain extent
i believe people have different taste and can like or not like something i dont.
that being said there are some groups i can think of where i refuse to believe anyone unironically likes(corey feldman, kid cudi, captain beefheart, grimes are a just a few off the top of my head)
I have peered, if only for a brief period, outside the sphere of human awareness.
I no longer believe in objectivity as we can perceive it.

Yeah, dropping acid was pretty dope for me too.
Anyone who prefers Classical or Traditional music of Popular music.
Yes but I know I don't have it so I don't care much.
go away, limedibagels
lmao all classical music sounds exactly the same.
This. The universe, life, reality are all subjective
The idea that taste in something so widely subjective as art can be objectively measured is stupidity.
So it's not surprising a lot of users of this board feel you can.
Nah
Something about human perceptions and constructs being used as instruments of measurement that are in and of themselves relative by being made by humans in the first place or whatever.
It's just like math, we use it to measure and explain something that can't truly be measured and we have no solid grasp of. It's just putting a system of enumeration into a cosmos of infinite possibility.
t.Psuedo intellectual.
If classical, objective
If popular, subjective
You're a moron. All art is equally subjective.
how about I whip my .44 out and shoot you in head
I'd rather you didn't.
oh ok sorry
It's quite alright. Here's an black QT for your trouble.
Don't worry guys, patrician in here for the verdict.
Yes, you can have objectively good taste, I proved so.
musical quality or worth is subjective but musical taste is partially objective -- you can have misinformed or ignorant opinions
Notice how it doesn't:

No other music is so diverse.
I think the reason we personally like a song or any piece of art is ultimately beyond our reach (could be unconscious drives and fixations from moments of your life, could be biological predetermined tastes, could be a lot of things).
But we can make up some rationalizations to justify our subjective tastes, and play a language game of comparing and debating our rationalizations with each others. There is some space for objectivity here, I believe there are some criteria for better or worse rationalizations. Since this is a (kind of a) game and the main purpose is to communicate, a good rationalization probably points you toward specific aspects of the art piece and makes you see it differently. Relating it to other works or context may be a good idea, specially if there are common-ground accepted good artists (remember, the game is to convince the other of your opinion and of your rationalization's validity). Bad ones could be just bad arguments/rationalizations (e.g everybody likes it! this critic likes it!) or just plain refusing to play the game ("i like it because i like it, stop bothering me". "its all subjective shut up")
I do think that if one chooses to live his life without questioning or trying to explain/rationalize his taste he is an objectively inferior listener, since you always gain a lot from playing the game

Only that The Beatles are objectively good
this statement is retarded and fucking wrong fundamentally
but I still agree with it
