I think I finally realized the definition of a pleb. It didn't occur to me for a while but I realized that the answer was staring me right in the face the whole time. Some songs don't have any emotional depth. Not only do the lyrics of the song convey an emotional message, but the art of making the sound itself can produce feeling too. I am incapable of describing what specific sounds create certain feelings (that is music theory which I don't know). I think we can all agree that some things are emotionally shallow and some things are emotionally rich. The problem isn't that music is subjective. The problem is that there is no way to write out a quantification of musical emotion. So the stupid who think their music is good don't know that their music is bad. The people who realize when music is bad and has shallow emotional expression or character are the ones who have true taste in music.
Sometimes these things are harder to find than others. Some music might not click with a person the first time. It may take many listens for someone to really get the appeal of the music. Some people may be hearing music that actually has a deep emotional expression that the listener themself cannot grasp.
