But what's really going to bake your noodle later: Is it more sophisticated to have broad acceptance of contemporary art or to call out bad attempts at art that are relying on your need to feel sophisticated for acceptance?

Problem is, you need to have a good understanding of contemporary art before you are able to call out bad attempts.
