Because it's your opinion and of course, you're entitled to it. But that doesn't mean that opinion will be shared by the masses.
There have been hundreds of hit songs and one hit wonders that I have no attachment to whatsoever emotionally, but I can understand and appreciate why others may have that attachment. And there are plenty of records and bands that I love that no one gets. It's the way it goes. Music speaks to each of us differently.
What's relevant to you is apparently a little different than what it's relevant to, for lack of a better term, "the mainstream". And it's far more likely that "mainstream" music will have more longevity and more public uses due to the fact that it's popular and "mainstream".
More people have the shared experience of "mainstream" music than underground music, which will always make "mainstream" music more important and relevant in film, television and advertising.
