I think questionable taste in music is a sign you're cultivating a good beginner's mind. :)
I also find sometimes that music in a genre is so bad/annoying that it wraps around to being listenable.
Maybe it's easier to see in movies where bad movies become enjoyable. (like "shoot-em up" where Clive Owen delivers a baby in the middle of a gunfight)
There was a great scene in a Clive Owen movie - Shoot Em Up - where he goes on a bit of a rant about the correlation between fancy cars, driving like an asshole, and success. I think there's a small level of vague relevance here.
"Mr. Smith: I move my finger one inch to use my turn signal. Why are these assholes so lazy they can't move their finger one fucking measly inch to drive more safely? You wanna know why?
DQ: Not particularly.
Mr. Smith: Because these rich bastards have to be callous and inconsiderate in the first place to make all that money, so when they get on the road, they can't help themselves. They've gotta be callous and inconsiderate drivers too. It's in their nature."

The first example that comes to mind for me is a scene in the 2007 movie Shoot 'Em Up; the protagonist's workaround for using a dead henchman's thumbprint-verified firearm is to use their severed hand (of course).
