I now see what you mean by "isn't thoroughly enjoyable" and therefore the hype is unmerited, but I still don't see where the idea of the "average person" not enjoying them except in small portions. The average person doesn't love Led Zeppelin or Bob Dylan 100% of the time, but there is still considerable love for them in the world. I don't see why they should be treated as separate.

This is a different issue completely. And I can't find any evidence to back that up. I've never encountered a "monster" who is desperate to force their taste on me. They may be unbelievably weird, but no more assertive about personal taste than any other fan in general.
