I don't know who the postmoderns are but I think that kind of trust in
yourself is more than fine.
I think it is fine to say you do not like something.
As soon as you say something is "bad", though, you need some reasons
to back it up. If you haven't got reasons then you do not know it is bad,
only that you do not like it.
