If I don't like your music I don't like your music; you probably feel the same way about stuff I like. We're all different. I don't think I ever labelled any of your music as crap specifically, but even if I did, so what? People have said that about my music. It's their opinion, nothing more, and nothing to get annoyed about.
I would say the reason I can do it is because if I do that I'm only dismissing one song, not the entire genre.
If challenged on it I can give reasons as to why I don't like it and offer an alternative of that genre that I do like, which is something you're unable to do if it's something you're unfamiliar with.

I can dismiss a prog record in 17 seconds but I can also get excited about one in that time too.
