Electrophobe. Electronic music can be as deep, engrossing, powerful and emotional as any other form of music, it's just that it gives talentless morons the ability to come up with uncreative tracks really, really fast and easy. Utilized properly though and electronic music is amazing. A synth is capable of generating a new sound nobody has ever heard before. That's much more exciting than straightfoward rock tracks that bore me nowdays [and there are very, very few things happening in the conventional rock genres these days that would disprove the fact that it's in a severe state of stagnancy and has been for many years]. Good electronic bands have no two tracks that sound the same. In that respect it's a much more varied and much more open ended form of music than the basic package of guitars, drums and bass.

Also, about taste being subjective, true, but some people simply have not tasted enough. Plenty of the pop acolytes will grow into different music tastes as they get older. Mark my words.
