This is probably the most patronising I'm ever going to be on this board, so here goes:
I know that it's not only people of a certain (young) age that display the kind of musical puritanism you mention, but I would suggest it mostly is.
I don't know about anybody else, but at a young age I had very specific ideas about what and who I liked and it would take quite some persuasion to shift me off my narrow-minded course.
Yes is does seem strange that somebody would dismiss whole genres, but I find myself being more and more open to new sounds and new artists, and I can't imagine dismissing anything out of hand.
I could go on, but you get the point.
