They just want something on in the background, something to dance to, something to "rock out" to. The music serves them in some way, like TV. It passes the time, it keeps them occupied. But they don't love music for what it is. It's often nothing more than background filler.
And there's nothing wrong with that. It's just the way they are, and no amount of pleading with them will change the way they use music.

To be fare there's also a flip side where people will like something weird or experimental out of the sheer novelty of it being different rather than just enjoying music. Personally I just like what I like regardless of how strange and obscure or poppy and predictable the music is.
