Is it wrong to not like German styles?

[Babylon]

Personally I'm not a huge fan of German beers either, although I'll take a mainstream German beer over a mainstream American or Canadian one any day. There's something about the way the malt is handled in a German beer that just doesn't taste as good to me as it does in the British styles. Belgians though, those I enjoy quite a lot.

It's better to admit your dislike of a beer, than be pretentious and say you like it because of its namesake or origin.

Everybody and their mother tells me I shouldn't like Blue Moon. I've had nearly every American, Belgian, and German wit I can think of, and I like Blue Moon. I don't care if it's Coors. People used to like Hoegaarden and then when people started realizing it was inBev "suddenly" they stopped liking it. That beer is damn tasty too. Also, I just happen to like German and Belgian beers a lot. I also love hefeweizen and to a lesser extent dunkelweizen. I'm not a fan of most barley wine and quite a few IPA/IIPA/DIPA/WTFIPA like most beer drinkers are. It's all about what you like.

OK, may I summarise?

It is OK to not like German styles, but it is a cardinal sin and a crime against the brew gods not to try every single new beer that is put in front of you.
