Tastes mean nothing and say nothing about who you are.

Tastes mean a great deal. Doesn't mean you have to share identical tastes with your friends. Many of my friends have different musical tastes and television tastes to me...but there are areas in which we find commonality: maye in politics, maybe simply in communication style. I learn from them and expand my own tastes by interacting with them (I recently developed a taste for jazz music having been introduced to it by a friend). But there will be some area of commonality.
It is not shallow to want to be friends with someone with whom you share interests/opinions or tastes. Nor does it preclude having friends who seemingly share nothing with you.
