"Inaccessible" for the most part is used to describe something that is so out there that it makes you ponder if it even qualifies as music.

I realize that I can not like something that's accessible (I think the Beatles are extremely "accessible" and I don't like them), but as detached as I get, I can't see how people who whine about how popular music is just a bunch of noise can eat up AC/DC albums.
By your definition, it's all down to the current fashion. In the 1950's, Elvis Presley could have been considered inaccessible.

Well, I suppose that given their reputation and most reviews of their music that I've read, they are considered accessible, but I don't understand why. The melodies seem dirge-like to me and the music ranges from bland to forgettable, with a stop off at generic. This isn't a critical review (that same description could be applied to some of the bands I actually like), just my reasoning as to why I don't see why they're "accessible." I'm not denying that they are, just saying that I don't really get it.
