I think they go hand in hand. The more "uniquely unpopular"
an artist is with one group of demographics, the more
"uniquely popular" they are with another demo.

The classic youth vs parental authority. Kids love the
music. Parents think it'll rot their brains.


Beatles White Album
Courtney Love
Johnny Rotten
Rap
Folk
Jitterbug
BeBop
20's jazz
NeoClassical
Madrigal

All stuff that was hugely popular on one side,
hugely unpopular and hated/feared on the other.

Smooth Jazz
Chuck Mangioni
Herb Alpert
Kenny G
101 Strings
Montovani
Jackie Gleason
Percy Faith

All stuff that was lukewarm on most all fronts.
Non offensive, non-excitive, vanilla.
