Get featured in my newsletter this Friday: How would you define taste? (As in, "I have good taste" or "I have a certain taste." Not food-related.) Best 3 answers get mentioned! Thank you!
Finalists: Amanda Natividad, Jaclyn Schiff, and Mariya Delano, your answers were included in my newsletter + this public piece: https://jayacunzo.com/blog/when-you-want-to-make-breaking-bad-but-your-work-is-just-breaking-badly Thanks to EVERYONE here for their insights about taste. I included a link to this entire exchange in my latest essay too.
It’s an instinct for what looks or sounds good to a defined audience.
I always remember this quote from Ira Glass, which I’ve found to be very true in my life and work. Yes, taste is ultimately subjective, but it’s also cultivated and refined over time, through experience, and respect for excellence in a given area. Game recognizes game, so to speak.
Taste is expectation...when that expectation gets fulfilled, we call it Content
Good taste is an instinct for what is stylish, modern, clever.
Confidence in knowing what you like, and what you don't.
I'd say, an uncommon talent for foreseeing what others will find entertaining or useful.

1yI, uh ... I may have underestimated how interested people are in getting a shout-out in a newsletter. (Just kidding you're all here for the right reasons. All of you. Luv you.)
