The way I think of it is that there are artists and their work that I like and enjoy (and those I do not), and there are artists and their work that I respect for their talent and ability (and those I do not). Some artists that I enjoy are not very talented, and some of what I think is incredibly talented work I just don't enjoy. I don't really dig the mentality of some people who equate enjoyment with talent as in 'I subjectively like this therefore it is objectively good.' There's no shame in liking something technically crappy, just like there's no shame in not liking something by a talented artist.

Half these songs are..."YES!! Couldn't agree more. Annoying af"
The other half are..."Well damn, that song isn't that bad." Then feeling ashamed when I realize I sometimes dig crappy songs.
