It's the way one compares their own taste to others' that creates the elitism.

But what happens when you constantly run in stuff you don't like? There is very little in Metal that seems appealing. Am I suppose to pretend I like Metal or should I censor my opinion on Metal? A Metal fan would encourage me to listen to whatever band. But to me that is like wasting time on Metal when I can listen to other kinds of music I like. I don't think that is "elitism" that is being frugal with time spent listening to music.
