This is kinda hard to explain, but I think as we experience more of the things we enjoy, we internaly create our own standards about what's good and what's bad about that kind of thing. For example: as someone watches more movies, their standards for them and which kinds they'll watch will grow and change.

On one hand, this is a good thing because having standards means that you'll be able to avoid garbage media/ products made by greedy executives. And you'll be able to inform others that it's a bad product.

But on the other hand, having too high standards can lead to disappointment and you missing out on things you've overlooked. If a movie fan only watches live-action films because they believe all animated films are garbage and are only made for kids (which is wrong by the way), then they could miss out on dozens of great animated movies.

Age also factors into the standards you form. You get smarter and experience more in your life as you reach adulthood, causing you opinions about things you've enjoyed in the past to change or become even stronger due to understanding more of it.

The tanookduke strikes again!
