You probably won't like other, proper lagers, then. Most people who are raised on domestic swill find good lager tastes off. However, Heineken really is pretty ******, so you're forgiven there.
Heineken is the first beer most people graduate to from drinking domestic piss.

I agree.
When I see people drinking Heineken, I immediately think they're doing it for the perceived snob factor. It's a foreign beer and they can regale their friends with their knowledge of the finer things, while putting down people who aren't as sophisticated.
You can't buy class.

I like Amstel much more than Heinekens
when i was in amsterdam the locals drink way more amstel
but american micro beer is better yet, I drink amstel in the states once in while , but sometimes it's old/mishandled. it tasted better when it was fresh in Holland
import beer has a disadvantage, time/age, handling going from different temps, get shook up

Especially not by buying beer.

Heineken is my safe bet beer, if I don't know what I want I'll get a Heineken and think about it. Yeungling Lager too but not many places outside of PA carry it.
Guiness and other stouts are good as a starting out beer but you can't really have more than one without feeling really full.
I've been going on a Delerium (Tremens and Nocturnum) binge recently.

I think many people believe just because it is "foreign" or imported it is somehow better. One of the first beers I bought when I was legal was Heineken and I hated it. Years later I was in Europe and decided to give Heineken another try, and I still thought it was the most wretched thing to drink.
There are plenty of mighty fine North American beers out there that are very much superior to other imported beers. Not saying all imports blow or all domestics are great, but one shouldn't judge a beer solely on it's origin.
That being said I also wouldn't judge somebody's class by what beer they drink. For me it is always situational. I usually hate stuff like Bud, but sometimes while grilling, at a BBQ or a sports game a Bud just seems to fit the ambiance better. So if I see somebody at a baseball game eating a hot dog and drinking a Bud Lite, I am not about to judge them as being without class - it's a baseball game for heaven's sake. However if they are at a more upscale type restaurant with a good selection of brews and they choose a Bud, I may have to pass some sort of judgement in that situation.
I like to start full and ease my way out, especially after a full day of work🙂
Tremens is a pale ale, Nocturnum is a dark. I like the Tremens better, you can taste the alcohol more in the Nocturnum which is a little too much sometimes. Apparently they also make a Noel too so I have to see if my beer guy can get me a case.

I watched some show on discovery or TLC that had a small feature on Heineken. They have been around for a long while in the brewing industry and set some milestones. In the early to mid 1900's their sales were struggling, that's when they started using advertising mediums to create a new image for themselves. They have been on a roll ever since.
It's not a bad beer by any means, it all depends on what type of brew you like.
As for the image part, it you're looking for some sort of status from beer, you've got some issues.
