I think some may associate with some music as it may be thought cool and it puts them into a group, gives them a kind of social musical identity. But much of that is about image and hardly about the music anyway.
The main thing perhaps is to be engaged by the music on some level whether that be at a level of visceral physical enjoyment or one which is more for the contemplation of the mind. Either can give enjoyment, 'pleasant' sounds too subjective a term to use for music which can give these different kinds of pleasures.
