No, in this case, it's more of a matter of people not trying to listen to it and instead being prejudiced against it. If someone has only listened to Moonlight Sonata and Fur Elise, they can't really say that they don't like classical. If I only listened to Justin Bieber's Baby and Boyfriend, can I really be justified in saying I think pop is stupid? No, of course not. I have to listen to different songs, because I had only just scratched the surface. I can't judge an entire genre based on two songs. It's the same with classical music. If someone has actually looked at all sorts of different periods and varieties of classical music and decided that it's not their thing, I don't have a problem with it. But if they have only listened to Moonlight Sonata and say it's boring, they aren't really justified in saying that.
