I suppose that's because I don't particularly see it as an issue. The only correlation that exists between music and other appetites is that experience shall always indicate a sense of exposure and breadth to someone's tastes. I really think I see what you are saying, too - generally speaking, interesting people have interesting taste in music. Even if you don't personally like their tastes in music, it's hard to deny outright. That's a very current criteria of the age we live in since music and art have become infinitely more accessible mediums to dabble in for the common human - whether it be personally or professionally.
Truth is, sheltered people tend to have sheltered minds and limited experience makes for limited taste. I don't believe it to be terribly more complex than that. A more interesting question, if you ask me, is to what end does this serve? Who cares if it's just all ephemeral bravado and mostly irrelevant culture-plodding for the sake of posture? Taste and preference may help us find compatibility within our tribes, and thus, safety, but does it really matter in the end? It's music. So long as somebody likes it, it's valid.
