This is true. Even though personal taste overrides what's "objectively better" all the time, there is still "objectively bad" art.

And this is all I've been saying.

Having self confidence is realizing that you have the ultimate override, being able to accept what you like is "objectively bad" and being at peace with it. It's okay. I love plenty of bad shit. Let's have a discussion about our favorite movies and I'm going to have some terrible ones near the top of mine and I'm going to hate some of your movies you like that I would say are objectively pretty good, just not something I personally got anything out of.

Having a lack of self confidence is saying "b-b-b-but that's just an OPINION!!! MY ART APPRECIATION CLASS!!!"

Just because you don't have the knowledge on the topic to grasp why the thing you like objectively sucks doesn't mean it doesn't. It just means you have weird tastes or like it for reasons completely unrelated to why it sucks and can't separate the two, and can't grasp why it does suck. You trying to marginalize everyone who disagrees with you by putting everything at equal "it's an opinion so we're both right" is the super egotistical and not humble at all, despite what some people in here are deluding themselves into believing.
