Music Snobs (cds, genre, album, members, copyrighted)

I don't really see the problem with being a music snob as long as you have a good attitude: the only thing I'm remotely elitist about is what I consider to be a good pop hook. :P

Besides a few minor things, I like to remain flexible, and I'm also quite happy that places like MB exist for people who want to discuss something else musically related besides the latest Indie pop sensation, how hot Lady GaGa's latest music video is, how "amazing and talented" Taylor Swift is, etc. If I want that kind of musically insipid conversation, I can easily turn off my PC and hit up my mall-going amigos whenever I get time off work.

So while nothing against MCR and the like, I do get tired of people talking about how great bands like them are when they obviously don't know anything beyond what their own little friends tell them or seeing whoever pulls a Grammy out of their ass on live television.

I'm curious about music and finding new things beyond Justin Bieber and whatever stupid rap/pop collaboration is blaring from KissFM, and I find it enjoyable to converse with people who find enjoyment likewise. Hence, what's wrong with a bit of musical snobbery online? I don't get to be much of one in everyday life after all...
