Taste buds also change as you age. As you age you start preferring bitter over sweet. It's why adults like coffee and beer, don't get me wrong I love a good fruity cocktail, but I appreciate beer a lot more than when I was 21.

I can sense nuances in the differences between different types of coffee and beer. This coffee has a bolder taste, this porter has defined chocolate notes, things my younger self never would have noticed

In all words for the op here, don't knock it just because you don't like it, other people may experience things differently from you
