The bands that get played on the radio are catchy at first, like it or not, but then they get overplayed so much to the point of madness almost. I don't listen to the radio, but I know catchy radio-orientated music when I hear it. When I first heard "Rockstar", I thought it was boring right away, which meant that I wasn't going to let it be force-fed to me through radio, although friends still do it. I don't need to listen to the radio to know the hits when friends' ask me if I heard the latest from, while were on the subject, Nickelback. I actually haven't heard their newest album, and don't intend to unless I buy their album, which I will eventually.
Also, I listen to lots of music, so whether it's mainstream or obscure, I like it. Death metal isn't played on the radio, but I love the genre. I don't know what to say to justify why I like the music I do, I just...do. I might not like every single genre, or every single style, but the genres I do like, I like 99% of bands in those genres.
If I appear argumentative, I apologize, it's just that I love music, it's a passion of mine, and whether I realize that Nickelback, Staind and Creed aren't the "cream-of-the-crop" when it comes to Rock music, I still like them just as much as the more obscure bands.
