I think there is a general urge to rebel when something is thrust into 
your attention over and over when you'd rather give your time to other 
things.

For instance, if the band you'd rather hear is not as popular as 
another, and the radio stations insist on playing the other, popular one 
over and over and over, you get annoyed.

I am sure that some people look on this as an attempt to manipulate them 
into like something that they do not find to their taste.

It is also true that some people find it more worthwhile to complain 
about something that they dislike it, even when it doesn't affect them, 
and simply ignoring it would consume far less energy.  Apparently some 
people find it beneath their dignity to share the universe with anything 
they dislike.
