I happen to like Justin Bieber's music okay. It's easy to sing along to–most of his songs are in my singing range–and he has a pretty boy-church-choir sort of voice (I used to be in a choir.) I'm not sure how you can define his music, or anything that is the subject of aesthetic preferences, as "objectively crappy" given that, obviously, some people find it enjoyable.
To the extent that anything in aesthetics is objective, I think we can agree that most of these movies probably are, in fact, objectively crappy.
"Subjectively crappy on average" based on the sample population who has evaluated them.
