I'm an ABC (Australian Born Chinese) and people are always really surprised when they find out what I listen to. They think that I listen to either emo/pop punk (ew), Top40
ew), or classical (I like classical though but its not my favourite genre). When I tell them I love Pink Floyd or Tool or even Radiohead they are always taken aback.

I think it may be because mainstream pop is generally targeted at young women. Women are more likely to follow trends then men (just look at the fashion. Women's clothing can have complete 180 turnarounds and mens fashion stay pretty constant.) therefore, they are easier to market crap to.
I don't want to sound sexist, but thats really how it is.
