Taste is a social construct, being a social construct (or "made up") does not make it any less real or valuable. selridge 6 days ago It’s a social construct yeah, but constructed by what?IMO most of the unpleasant truth about taste is that it is really a stalking horse for money and distinction (cf the book of the same title).
