I think if you're honest about what art does it shouldn't be surprising that the street-level stuff is better -- i.e. art tries to make up the difference between our infinite, expansive feelings and finite, cramped realities. And ghetto/street life is pretty cramped and finite -- so the music has a bigger infinity to traverse so to speak, more to make up for, more emotional work to do in order to be redemptive.

Or you can think about it economically, in terms of skill development -- I remember Dave Van Ronk recounting a conversation where somebody was musing: why are so many famous blues guitarists blind black men from the South? I mean isn't that uncanny? perhaps suspect? indicative of an audience fetish?
Dave's rejoinder: if you were a blind black man from the South prior to WWII how else would you make a living?
Within a demographic, an economic decision will be made more often if there's a smaller opportunity cost. And, within a demographic, if there are a disproportionate number of say rappers, there will also be a disproportionate number of GOOD rappers!

Oh, did I touch a nerve?
'Many' has the fortune to be ambiguous. So if I talk for a handful of bandmates and bands I've been in, it can qualify as talking for many of them, because I've had this conversation with nearly all the bands I've been in (in over 15 years). Of course, it has to do with surrounding yourself with 'like-minded' people.
Like anything in the arts and conversations in ILM, it is anecdotal. There is no real meaningful data that can be extrapolate from anecdotes.
I actually have been frequenting the Sigur Rós message board on their official site since about 2002 (in its older permutation, too, when it was 18 seconds before sunrise and 'unofficial') and people talked about Sigur Rós's reticence about talking to interviewers in those early days, too.
But I shall cut it here, as I surmise you are trolling.
So, touché, I guess!

That's a toughie; who would H&O's peers from the 80's be? The aforementioned Lionel Ritchie? Culture Club? Abba? Also, i'm not a pop hater; radio can make any type of music unlistenable if they play it too often; i mean, flip through the dial of your areas classic rock stations and you can pretty much guarantee that you'll find one of a very short list of Zeppelin/Floyd/AD-DC tracks (seriously, does it ALWAYS have to be "Wish You Were Here" and "Money")? Pop music in itself is not dis-satisfying, but i tend to feel that it best serves children, the infirm, and neophytes.

Are we talking about Hipsters, or "Hipsters"?
Hipsters, as in, the people who read Pitchfork, go to ATP and listen to bands that most people genuinely haven't heard of, or the people who spend their lives tweeting about how much they love Arctic Monkeys and Nandos?
