Kind a "ear of the beholder" question, no?
But the straight answer is, no... I will shake my booty to the latest pop disco trash if I'm just out somewhere if it's playing.
However a lot of the modern Nash-pop crap just actively repels me. Sure the production quality may be top tier, catchy tune, smart lyrics but I just can't stand the whole genre, rubs me the wrong way. So for me a lot of musical enjoyment is contextual... I like Texas bands because they are Texas bands for example... I hate the Nash-pop sound regardless of who's playing it. No accounting for taste.
