Because I don't like it. Do you like every single music genre?
At first it might seem that you have a point here, but it's tentative at best. Rock isn't just a genre--it's a super-genre. Rock encompasses a VAST BULK of music produced in the past fifty years. There are countless subgenres of rock which you may or may not like, but to say you don't like rock leaves very few contemporary options outside of rap/hip hop, techno or country.
I don't like electric guitars that much... sorry, it's just not a kind of sound I like that much. Also, Music which is just people screaming into a microphone isn't something I like at all.
Soooo much of rock isn't electric guitars. I'm trying to imagine that you have a negative impression of rock as... what, Ozzie Osbourne? Rock is everything from Buddy Holly to Led Zeppelin to Elvis to the Clash to Pink Floyd to the Beatles to Kings of Leon to Coldplay to Yes to Elton John... well shit it's almost everything produced since the 60's.
I'm not that big of a music fan in general of course, and most of what I do like and listen to either has no or few vocals -- videogame soundtracks, classical, and techno/electronica pretty much are what I listen to.
I like and have my share of videogame and movie soundtracks. To date my most-listened to CD of all time is The Empire Strikes Back... BUT HOW CAN YOU HEAR THIS AND NOT WANT TO BURST OUT DANCING?
