I think it's subjective. My mother might buy me a tie, believing it to be lovely. I might hate it. In the same way, a person could keep telling jokes in bad taste, but to them, they are just jokes. That person (should they wish to) could choose to react to criticism and 'evolve' their sense of humour. In terms of style, yes. Some people change their appearance with the times. Following fashion, you might say. What's most important is to be yourself - don't let the taste of others dominate you. Friendly advice is nice, but be comfortable in your own skin. You shouldn't feel forced to change. Personally, I like what I like. Unless you wear a dress made of meat or something, you won't get any funny looks from me.
