I think it's a general problem these days caused by the fact that the most recent brands of highly commercialized over-produced pop dominate the charts and the airwaves SO much, that most people have no regular medium of naturally hearing anything beyond that without having to seek.

I'm in the same situation and I agree with your second paragraph, but in my case my friends are comfortable enough in their music taste, be it ultra-technical-but-souless stuff like Vai or absolute garbage like Enter Shikari. I go to the vast majority of gigs alone and talk to the people there about music instead.
So I could mention random bands like Grails, Entombed, World's End Girlfriend, Codeine, which none of my friends like.
