You said yourself you don't like some music, by your standards that kinda music is bad YET you rather be super open minded guy and restrict verbalizing said opinion to not offend other ppl's taste.
Call it bad or good, take a stand.
Don't be afraid to say what you love or hate cause those kinda details define your personality.

The distinction, of course, is that saying in black or white terms whether or not something is "good" or "bad" sounds more definitive and hardline than simply saying "I don't like this". It's easier to hedge on simply "liking" something because you're not necessarily as expected to back up your tastes. When you make an unequivocal judgment of quality, you're saying others should care about that judgment, and not everyone's comfortable doing that.
That being said, this
is a forum for talking about music. Making judgments on taste is kind of a key part of the community experience.
