Taste = subjective?

[Shakazulu]

Is taste truly subjective o_O? 

How do artist like Shakespeare, Stephen king, Leonardo, Stevie wonder break this notion?

No taste is objective!

If you like this then you're broken

But on a serious level, some things appeal to the general mass population more, like good quality movies, with good actors, fresh, creative, new ideas, well put together, will appeal to more, but you'd still get some people giving it 0's and saying "it's a pile of poo!"

That's why you never see a very popular youtube video without a few hundred/thousands dislikes. its never 100% positive.

Everything is subjective. You could also say: "Everything is relative." Like Einstein said.

Although humans we are "subjects" that tend to experience things in a similar manner (so similar taste) because we are at a similar point in the process of evolution.

Let's say the taste is probably very different for a bee for example.
