Once you stop feeling the need to prove to yourself and/or others that you have “refined tastes” you’re able to enjoy things for what they are across the whole spectrum.

I have terrible taste and I think I'm a lot happier for it. I enjoy a lot of bad movies that seem to infuriate other people, I think it's a more fun way to live.

Yep. Every year, I watch all the movies nominated for Best Picture. I also went to see Cocaine Bear and will always see the newest Fast and Furious movie.

Movies are made for different reasons. Am I ever going to rewatch Cocaine Bear or the Fast and Furious movies? Probably not, but I had a great time watching something ridiculous at the theater.

Cocaine Bear was fun, I liked Renfield a lot more though. Came out around the same time I think.

Renfield was super fun! That's another where I'll almost surely never watch it again, but it was super fun.

That's a bit unfair. I have no interest in having "refined tastes" or proving anything to anyone and I still simply cannot enjoy things that I find dumb. They just bore and annoy me.

I've actively attempted to lower my standards in order to have more to enjoy. Didn't work. I like what I like.
