I've had a longstanding debate with a close friend on this topic. He thinks that there is such a thing as objectively good taste, and I do not.

I usually cite art as an example of my point. There is no "good" art or "bad" art. There is successful and unsuccessful art.

Art is intended to make you feel something. If it has done that, it's successful. And making you feel revulsion due to the aesthetic choices made or execution of the piece counts as "feeling something".
