I wouldn't go as far as to say they are repelled by classical music. I'm sure there are pockets of many that embrace it and love it. I think on the whole though, we tend to embrace what we're familiar with. A lack of familiarity and accessibility would tend to push people along the path of least resistance. If it's too much effort with not enough pay off, people tend not to do it.
