I don't think the music is very unpopular;I think that the image of classical music is something that people don't like. The attraction of pop/rock music to the young is that it both imitates their own image style and is something that they can aspire to. E.g. Work a little harder and you can buy the clothing, have your hair styled that way, etc..you couldn't become a concert pianist in a few months!
If I am perfectly honest not many people think deeply about the actual sound if the music they listen to. Their present mood,their memories,their desires,the function of the music(e.g. celebrations like weddings,funerals...) and the image/lifestyle presented appear to be more important.
