music taste
What you dig
Music taste is a person's preferences in music—the genres, artists, and styles they enjoy.
Having good taste in music typically means liking what the speaker considers quality or sophisticated, while bad taste suggests the opposite.
Music taste often serves as social currency, signaling identity and cultural alignment: We bonded over our shared music taste.
The phrase implies these preferences reveal something about character.
