I didn't like it when I was younger (<20). My parents played a lot of music, but it was mostly classical, choral, folk, or theatre music. (I don't think either of them dislike jazz, it just isn't their favorite.) I used to not like much of anything that had an improvisational component. Then I started listening to music on the "Windham Hill" label in college, which included some jazz influences, and then later when I started listing to a lot of public radio, I'd catch shows that would feature particular jazz musicians and explain some of the musical form and history, which really helped get me interested in the form. It's still only one of many forms of music that I enjoy, not my exclusive favorite, but that's quite a difference from when I was young.
