If you join a music forum, the odds are good that you're a snob.

To be fair I just joined here to take the pi
ss a bit. Then a year and 2 months later, I'm still here.
It didn't really work out to plan. You lot turned me snobbier. I was quite happy listening to my Oasis albums until I was blue in the face! But now I can't really stand listening to them.
You all ruined me.
I think everyone is a music snob if you're basing it on people who think their music taste is superior. I know someone who likes Lily Allen and Tinchy Strider, she thinks I listen to 'mosher music'.
Fair enough, she's not a music snob because she's a f*cking idiot. But according to you, she is. If forcing her musical opinions on me makes her one.

Smooth Jazz is a crowd pleaser as well. I couldn't imagine putting it on and someone feeling as uncomfortable as, say, playing Nargaroth for your conservative aunt Sharon. |
I don't think it's pretentious, but I know f*cking loads of people that hate it. I'm indifferent to it, I'd rather not listen to it but it still gets dubbed as being pretentious/up itself by some.
