distaste
Feeling of displeasure
Distaste is mild aversion or dislike, usually toward something you find unpleasant or offensive rather than truly hateful.
It suggests refined displeasure more than visceral disgust: She regarded his table manners with distaste.
The word often implies aesthetic or moral objection: a distaste for gossip, a distaste for violence in films.
