For me it was Andrew Bird (who I am currently on a binge of) and Fleet Foxes.
To a lesser extend, Radiohead and the Flaming Lips. Though I mostly just didn't care about them until I was older.

I'm having a hard time thinking of an example, but I've got one for the opposite situation. If you'd asked me a few years ago what I thought of the Dave Matthews Band, I would have said "too meh to bother with an opinion. I nothing them." But then I bought a used car from a dealer and got a couple months of free Sirius radio. So much of that is sports, but I found a few music stations that I liked. There was one that was playing 90s alternative rock, which was fun . . . until a Dave Matthews Band song and I AGGRESSIVELY PUNCHED the button, like 2 seconds in. Turns out I really hate that band, and I didn't realize it until I was suddenly confronted with their music after probably years of never really hearing anything from them. And it kinda made me laugh, because I'd still call them a very beige band, too middle of the road to bother having a passionate opinion of, and yet apparently I passionately hate them. IDK
Beyond Dave's weird voice, I can't stand their fiddle player's style. It sounds like ass to me after listening to mostly bluegrass for years.
Oh good point. I like bluegrass too, maybe that has something to do with it.
How do we not have a shrug emoji?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or the absolutely horrible 乁ʕ •̀ •́ ʔㄏ
Yeah, I guess I can always type out the shruggy guy. Makes me think of the time my mom tried to put it in our family text group but didn't quite get it right, so he looked all lopsided. One of my brothers copied it and used it for a long time. It was a pretty cute little inside joke.
Yeah that's a good inside joke, I almost always mess it up on here or somewhere else due to the formatting. My phone keyboard has a whole section for all the "classic" emotes, including shruggies. This 乁( . ര ʖ̯ ര . )ㄏ is another good one
lol, that sound hilarious.
I used to love DMB in high school, mostly because of their sax player, now I'm very 'meh' on them, but will listen to a few tracks for nostalgia purposes.
I knew I was supposed to like them in high school, because everybody else who shared my taste in music liked them, but I was in the "meh, I don't get it" camp. But that has grown to hatred in the intervening years somehow, lol.
