It's kinda insulting when someone is describing a book, movie, band, etc. and they say, "It's really good; but I don't think you would like it." amirite?

It does sound like you have bad taste, but they may mean they're good at what they're doing, but you don't like that thing. Like Hitler was good at what he did (killing people) but people still don't like him.

I don't find it insulting. I take it to mean that while they like it, they know my taste well enough to know that I wouldn't.
