I would have to say that "taste", good or bad, is far too subjective to be taught. "Acquired taste" is simply the parroting of another's opinion.

An individual, unexposed to the opinion of others, will naturally develop their own taste. (Just ask a child what they do & do not like, and why. ) Those of us who submit to the sophistry of elitists and adopt their values without evaluating those values become clones.

Be open to everyone's opinion, and acquire your own taste-filter. Nobody gets to tell you what's good and what's bad unless you PERMIT it.

Be free.
