Why does non-mainstream music get so much hate?

I noticed that any music that isn't mainstream seems to attract a lot of hate. For example I was at the gym and put on some jungle/drum and bass and one of my friends told me to turn it off as it was "just noise". Surprisingly *sarcasm* all the music on his iPhone was Kanye West et al.

Why does non-mainstream music get so much hate? I like music from all genres and I notice that, although all non-mainstream attracts a lot of hate, heavier EDM and types of metal probably attracts the most. Why is this? Are people afraid to listen to music that's alien to their ears or society deems bad?
