As for the OP, I used to have an issue with communicating how I feel about music to myself and others but the more I tried to fix that and practice it, it became easier to identify what it is that I don't like about a song, artist, or album. I still have a lot of room for improvement on that though. Just keep trying and if people ask you what the hell you mean by something that you said on an artist, that's an opportunity go deeper into how you really feel about the music that's being discussed. This can be a rabbithole towards argumentative close-mindedness though, so proceed with caution.
And never be afraid to sound like an idiot. If you hold back cause you're self-conscious about sounding like you don't know what you're talking about then you'll probably ignore the best bits.
