Not at all, if you have taste in music, you find great music in all genres. Great music is great, no matter what broad categories it is defined by. "Jazz" covers an astoundingly vast spread of sounds and feelings. If you enjoy music for the sensation of music, Jazz is just one of the many, many places that you will find that joy.

Taste in music doesn't require finding value in every genre..the ego on these jazz fans, my god.

If you don't like or don't want to explore music, that's your prerogative. It's a hobby and a skill you can build like anything else.

You could have the one pop, country, or metal song/artist you enjoy and not branch out, it's perfectly valid, but if you like the sound of a particular song or genre there are many songs in other genres that will have the same vibe. It's just up to you to explore.

I think part of the problem here is that a "genre" is a vague, idiosyncratic definition that overlaps with every other so-called genre.

I can't possibly have a diverse musical taste or explore genres or like jazz, to you? Because I disagreed with a few comments? Yikes.
