Fortunately, most people know better
Simple people often describe jazz or classical music as too complex and complain about getting confused by all the various kinds of tunes, melodies, counter-melodies, bass lines, off-beats, canons, scales, key changes, changes in dynamic, tempos, accent, staccatos, time signatures, that's because they associate that kind of music with certain things and think of themselves as being worse than that.

Your argument is so preposterous that it can merely be reversed to give exactly the opposite outcome, just as logically. The popularity of music has no impact whatsoever on my enjoyment of it. I enjoy bands no-one has heard of (Battles, The La's, Egotrippi) and others which loads of people enjoy (Muse, Metallica, Pink Floyd) and others in between (ZZ Top, Frank Zappa, Beck).
