I listen to a lot of music that some would call noise and here's my 2c on the subject.
It is much like being a kid who doesn't like brocoli. It tastes revolting at first, you can't imagine anyone liking it, etc. Sure enough your parents force you to eat it anyways and by the time you're an adult, you love brocoli soup with a side of brussel sprouts.
Or like Yoga; can you imagine feeling comfortable, blissful, ecstatic! with your body bent that way?
With music or Yoga no one will force-feed you so the exercise of expanding your 'palette' is left up to you.
There are some pieces of music that I could not listen to when they came out and now I love them. I found them too harsh or unpleasant but now I can go to sleep listening to them.
Also as a side note: a lot of electronic music is more about (the elusive...) timbre than melody or rhythm, since we have almost full control over how it sounds.
