I can tell the difference between "it sucks" and "it's not my cup of tea." Jazz was a rough one for me, I heard so much lousy jazz before I found some performers I liked ... later I figured out that jazz never "takes out the trash," you don't see mediocrities fade out as they do in classical. You've probably never heard of Meyerbeer but he was more played that most late Romantics you have heard of. Light opera, forgotten.
Musical tastes are odd. I'm not much into blues but there are some like Johnny Winter (RIP) I am crazy about.
Electronic pitch correction that gave us pretty faces lip synching to their studio pitch corrected vocals in live performance was a curse.
I'm not sure where you draw the line for modern singing styles. I am certainly more inclined to listen to Doc Watson than FM dial pop music. In my truck I've got SiriusXM which of late I've been listening to the Outlaw Country channel which is actually far more diverse than the name implies. On Spotify I listen to people you may have never heard of, but I don't think that they are what you are thinking of for modern singing styles.

But modern singing styles make no sense to me.
