I guess a lot depends whether you think a single thing which is fundamentally unlike anything else you've encountered should be considered exotic or not.
I believe there are multiple lines of evidence to suggest properties of dark matter is inconsistent with it being baryonic matter. As far as I know we have only ever encountered or measured baryonic matter in all of our inquiries into nature EXCEPT where mapping of distribution of mass based on inferred Gravity is concerned. Does that not make dark matter quite exotic as far as our experience goes?
