I don't think it's an acquired taste so much as a genre that people just don't know that much about (like Freebase mentioned). Most people who hear "Electronica" think of just the repetitive booming stuff and don't know how varied it really is. I used to be one of those people.

Basically, Freebase hit the nail on the head. Except I think he was being generous in saying most people could name 4 sub-genres of electronica. 2 maybe?? lol
