I hate-- no I actually love it a lot but I also hate how much more I enjoy music that I don't like now.
It's a combination of factors? Like first, I think one of the best side effects of HRT has been that I allow myself enjoyment more now. I feel this a lot, and I've heard a lot of other transfemmes talk about so I don't think it is just a me thing. Music is just one of the domains that often applies to for me.
On top of that, learning bass parts to songs that I do like has opened my eyes to the joys of having a good rhythm section. I wasn't totally ignorant of this before, but I feel like my understanding became a lot more nuanced. I can not particularly enjoy a song and yet still vibe with it if the rhythm section is in the pocket.
"I don't think this is good and yet I respond positively to it" is not an experience I thought I could have with music, something I am notoriously picky about.
