Good taste...this is one of those things to which you can best reply, well I don't know quite what it is but I know when I see it! None of us even have to like a particular form or version of good taste for it to remain, "good taste" I concede that Chopin's music is probably in good taste, I prefer Mozart anyday. Taste is more than opinion. Taste is also socially based like it or not. Taste is not trendy. The greek sculpture and architecture are still nearly all in good taste.

Polyester leisure suits are not and were not in good taste.

Taste is learned and that is not a sin. There exist paintings done in bad taste within art movements or periods like the French Salon...which I consider to be mostly in good taste.
