Music, at its height, is an external expression of internal idea or emotion. Further, music acts as a cultural or class signifier. Hence, music tends to be either representative of or, in terribly sad cases a replacement for, values. Value systems tend to be mutually exclusive.
So, the answer is as long as music has meaning beyond base entertainment, people will be intolerant and judgmental of others taste.
Understand?
