Do you ever find yourself using adjectives "good" or "bad" when referring to a work of art? Do you ever use these words to describe something?

Do you ever say things such as "That movie is so good, I loved it!" and/or "Infinite Jest is a better book than Gravity's Rainbow." or anything similar?

If not, then why? How do you discuss things with other people? What if someone asks you if one thing is better than some other thing? Do you always have to add "in my opinion" before or after you called something better?

I'm getting tired of seeing this "everything is subjective" argument all over /lit/. There's no such thing as bad or good art. "Truth" becomes nothing more than personal belief. There is no bad literature, there are no bad movies, there is no bad music. Criticism is irrelevant because it all comes down to personal tastes.

Why bother learning anything in schools when it's up to you to decide what matters and what doesn't? What is relevant and what is irrelevant, it's all up to you. Why bother discussing things with other people when everything is subjective?
