It is not unfair or even out of the ordinary that I consider the subjective things I think are bad to be bad. The whole "but they're a good musician" argument is just a cheap way for people to feel justified about their own music taste in the face of someone disagreeing with them.

Although when it comes to Mariah Carey, yes you are kind of dumb for liking that blatantly manufactured and dull tripe (I might as well become the straw man at this point, right?).
