When I looked at the thread title, I was thinking passionless music would be my answer. I guess that falls into the the first category since lack of passion and effort can push you towards cliches; there's a lot of abstract/dissonant music that fits that bill though. Familiarity is nice, but so are surprises, and the second category just has a greater amount of good music under it.
True. I know of course the options don't represent everything that one could conceivably dislike in music, but it sort of represents two "camps" of music listeners, of which one thinks that "ugly" equals bad, or rather that the most supreme goal of music is to be conventionally beautiful.

A follow-up question to the users (like me) who choose the first option:
Would you agree that an experienced listener who has explored a wide range of music will generally tend to pick option a)?
