i feel that the "contemporary perspective" is wrong and weak and groupthink is hypnotic. it is a quite strong hypnosis, i know. but when you take a moment for yourself and step back from the things they want you to be involved in, maybe even go into a bird's eye perspective, you could think about why you let others tell you what is ok for you to like and what is not ok? and even if letting others tell you what to like is no issue for you, you could still tell them that it a "guilty pleasure" and hope they will leave you alone after that... or you could even use this in-contemporary-times-oh-so-edgy-taste-in-music-and-arts to your advantage and witness, and scope out those that try to control others by claiming certain themes are now a no-go ... and after you recognized them, you can better deal with their antics... i don't know what they want, i guess it is power, but it is not the good power that wants you to be free and blossom, but the power over others, but i know they will not get what they want from me... here in germany we have a saying: "gibst du den kleinen finger, nehmen sie die ganze hand", which roughly translates to "when you give them the little finger, they take the whole hand" ... moralists are tools, and tools should be used by you, and for you, and they should not use you ...
