What does it mean to have good taste?
When I walk through an art gallery, I can determine, in my opinion, whether or not I think the art curator has good taste.
Now, the art curator may not have my taste, but I have a sense that they have good taste.
When I see somebody walking down the street, I can tell whether or not they have good taste in my opinion, and they may not even have my taste.
But still I can tell that they have good taste.
I almost get a gut reaction when I see something and I decide whether or not liking it is a sign of good taste.
And it's complicated because I like some things that I think are in bad taste.
Like there's some music that I like that I think is in bad taste.
Like, I don't think it's actually good.
There's even movies that I don't think are good, but I like them anyway.
So this leads to the question of today.
What does it mean to have good taste?
We put a lot of value on good taste.
You know, I tend to be attracted to people romantically and platonically who I believe have good taste in things.
I consider my taste to be a huge piece of my own identity.
