No, just uncultured. Not as in uneducated, but as in not introduced (which should best happen at an early age) to certain cultural environment, ideas, and tastes.
It's like someone only liking McDonalds who can't understand why people would ever eat Chinese food. Or someone liking pop who can't understand why someone will listen to jazz or classical.
It's a cultural thing, and it's limiting themselves, even though nominally they don't appear to / have to suffer anything for this self-limiting (it's a free country, anybody can like whatever they want, but it's still some kind of loss).
That is, if you speak about all kinds of modern art, from 1900 to 2020 say. Because sure, there are lots of crap within it, and easy for-the-money, by-the-book boring works, but also lots of wonderful works in there, so to dismiss it all is problematic.
