Because its vapid and weightless. I tend to enjoy music that comes from musicians I can respect. I am a musician myself, played guitar for 11 years and drums for 5 and I can see the musical qualities in the bands I listen to. Some impress me with their amazing technical grasp over their instrument, or their creativity or their lyricism or the immense thought and time that goes into writing some of these pieces. Why would I listen to music that is repetitive and has no substance when I could listen to music by musicians who truly care about their work and actively try to better themselves as musicians?
I've done some decently detailed reviews when people have posted pop music on here giving my thoughts on a particular piece, vocalizing why I think it is garbage. If you have anything specific you would like me to pick apart, I will.
However, this isn't to say that I dislike anything due to its popularity. I really like "Take Me To Church" by Hozier which is one of the biggest hits right now, and you can hardly call bands such as Tool, Led Zeppelin and Chevelle "unpopular"...

You blatantly called metal heads egotistical, selfish and elitist...how is that not an insult?
