>Thats the beauty of art, appreciation is subjective and different for everyone. The only thing you have control over is whether you are open to that or not.
Subjectivity is not a shield that protects a work from criticism, and disliking a piece of art does not necessarily mean you are closed minded. It could simply be that you don't find it interesting, or that you find the values of the artist reprehensible, or that you find it overly derivative, etc.
