I think some people are turned off of music by constantly being around people that are extremely passionate and enthusiastic about music, it annoys them. My roommate and long time close friend claims to not like music, or at least not care about it, but I catch him tapping his foot and singing along all of the time. It seems more like a subconscious choice to distinguish himself from us, to not be seen as a copy cat, because most of my circle of friends are musicians and enthusiastic collectors. I think most people make subconscious decisions to distance themselves from particular cultures that they find annoying, we do it when we buy jean jackets instead of track suits, we do it when we buy Ford pickups instead of PT Cruisers, I imagine it might be something like that. He thinks rabid music fans are annoying so he distances himself from music and music culture.
