Huh?
If I were you, I would consider the possibility that I am envious of those who signal and receive praise, and that I am rationalizing my feelings by claiming to uphold the social standard of "good taste".
That seems unlikely.
First, even after introspection I don't have envious feelings towards such people which is probably because in my social circle ostentatious displays of kinda-virtue usually lead not to praise but to slight awkwardness.
Second, this is consistent with my general taste in other things and looks to be a pretty ancient attitude :-)
