Along the lines of what you said. According to the survey, there aren't many pop, rap, or country fans on MD, even as those seem to be the most popular on the radio and TV. That may suggest that MD, and perhaps other music sites, tend to draw musically alienated people who are fed up with what's out there, and are searching for something else.
Another one is that pop is one of those things many people don't want to admit they like, so they redefine the music they listen to as something else, even though it could probably be classified as pop, because it's popular and marketed to a mainstream audience. For example, in the 90s, everything was marketed as "alternative", even though a lot of it was pop.
