Music Snob: Oh my god, is that (insert band here), they suck, they are totally (insert bizzare music sub-genre) not real (insert music genre). If you werent such a sheep youd listen to (insert 1, to an indefinate number of obscure/unpopular bands).

I feel having strong musical preferences, knowing a lot about music, and saying one hates certain music doesn't make one a snob...but calling a person a sheep and putting a person down because of her or his musical tastes definitely sounds like a snobbish thing to do!

I feel there is no logical rationale for feeling one type of music is "better" than another, any more than there is for saying one color is better or more appealing than another. Watching people fight over what type of music is better is like watching people fight over whether green or blue is a better color. I don't feel such a fight means the people are snobs. It just means they don't appreciate that the value of art is subjective, or they want their viewpoint to be understood.

agreed. on the other hand, i think anyone claiming that they like every style of music possible is a whole other kind of snob. maybe idealistic rather than esoteric or something like that. to deny one's individual taste so you can front baseless appreciation for styles one doesn't truly care about based on outward social perceptions strikes me as ultimate snobbery.
