No.
Chopin, Mingus, Dylan, Rachmaninov, Willie Dixon, D. Reinhardt, Odetta, Brahms, T.Monk, Ledbelly, Ravel, N. Drake, Howlin Wolf, Copland, Pastorius, Callas, Renbourn/Graham/Jansch, freaking Beethoven...
You could spend your entire lifetime listening to popular music actually done WELL, by musicians with above-average skill AND talent, without hearing any of it twice, and still not make it though it all. To ignore that in favor of albums full of mindless dance floor filler written at a fifth grade level is...
Okay, no one, well, except possibly That freak of nature Mozart, was born knowing good music. We all started being inspired by crude junk, it's really okay. We all bought albums based on how trendy it was, or hot the girl on the cover is, or what zany antics the "entertainer" got up to for press. And you know, if you listen to the worst album in the world enough times, you'll start to like it. So that's fine. But recognize it for what it is, a product. This is not music for musics sake, or timeless art. This is trendy, consumable, disposable product that you bought because everyone else bought it, and going into it thinking it's going to be great, combined with enough repetition, will make you think it truly is wonderful. There are thousands of better songwriters and performers than this woman in every empty coffee shop with a rug on the floor. Are you going to run out and give their sweet words an equally open listen?
Assuming it's the detractors that are misinformed or narrow minded or "musically immature" is nothing more than self serving. It isn't about "taste", it's about marketing vs music. We've all been where you are. Some of us just learned the difference and decided we prefer music. But it's not for everybody.
