Nah, people just like stuff they've heard before, and without actual musical training (which is regularly refunded across the U.S.) it is tough to learn how to 'retrain' your ear towards different sounds and think they are normal.

For example, I like country music, but I hate most modern country music because it doesn't sound like country, it's too influenced by hip-hop, so it just sounds like lukewarm country-rap (which I'm not even a fan of when it's pure genre), but even then I don't like Classic Nashville because I grew up on grunge and punk so it's too slow. The country I like is more upbeat and reminiscent of rock n' roll with a twang or neo-folk than crooning with a twang. So I'm sure if I bothered to retrain my ear on old crooners I could like it, but I just trained my ear to hyperpop, so I'm exploring that genre atm.

Music taste is like a journey, skipping to the end without hitting the middle parts is difficult and everyone is starting from a different place. That is what makes consistent local scene genres so special, because it's a bunch of people who have all trained their ears in similar ways to listen for specific patterns and know that they 'vibe'.
