Apparently "we're" the musically narrow minded ones
For the record, like most genres, there's plenty of good rap/hip-hop and plenty of bad rap/hip-hop. Everyone raves about Eminem these days, but Public Enemy are the guys.

I actually think that both are correlated: a person that likes everything doesn't love anything. You would expect a person that loves music to dislike many genres. A person that studies classical music, for instance, probably doesn't like most popular music..
Music flows, evolves and intertwines so that you can pick most genres of music and see how it influenced and was influenced by other genres. Rockabilly holds hands with country, bluegrass, punk, surf and other styles of music. Blues has influenced almost everything, country is a virtual melting pot of many genres and so on and so on. The more knowledgable I have become about music the more I have come to appreciate the many different genres of music and I'm fairly certain that's the norm and not the exception.
