My point was that people are often bombarded by mainstream music, and the overexposure can turn people off it, regardless of its relative merit.

Your point makes some sense, but I don't entirely agree with it. I've often listened to non-mainstream stuff that I had no idea if I'd like, and found I didn't like it.
