After reading this, I think I'll revise my previous statement and replace Dream Theater fans with shredheads in general.

we just call them hippies (the modern version).

I’m sure we’re all accustomed to the occasional Beatles fanatic, the guy that mumbles on incoherently about how they were at the vanguard of every movement from prog rock to proto punk. He’ll explain that Lennon and McCartney weren’t just two songwriters, they were two GENIUSES, while Harrison was an amazing guitarist and Ringo – well, you know it, he’s a really underrated drummer. He won’t understand why you haven’t listened to Revolver thirty times yet or bought a box set of their works in the last three weeks. And regardless of how obviously disinterested you might be he’ll push every one of their farts into your face, no matter how dull or incendiary those escaping whiffs of idiocy are. Want to know how deep the shitheads dive?

I’ll tell you. I was over my friend’s place one lazy weekend just hanging out with a few girls, listening to some music and trying to stave off sobriety for another day. At the time we just had some laid back stuff playing, probably Morcheeba or something of the like. A dude I recently met came into the apartment to bum alcohol and just hang out with us. About five minutes in he turns to me to explain that my music ‘wasn’t party music.’ Okay, so what? Everyone’s allowed their own preferences, and it wasn’t my place so I took it off like a gentlemen. The guy leaves and comes back in, making a playlist consisting solely of the Beatles. Solid party music indeed.

He then proceeded to spend no less than four hours lecturing me on why the Beatles were the greatest band in the world.

Excuse me if I don’t fucking care.

I hate trying to show someone new music and they go and change it half way through the first or second song. Nice rant dude.

....mark knopfler and eddie van halen fans are the same breed of anal-retentive dip****s who favour technicality over soul.

..I hope the whole g3 posse and their lemming fans walk off a cliff.

I bet you don't even give people who appreciate Vai or others a chance.
Also, Mark Knopfler is not the same breed of guitarist as Eddie Van Halen, please.

I agree with this entirely.

I think they think of themselves that way too but the funny thing is that generally the only thing they have in common with hippies is that they smoke pot.

That makes you just as closed minded as the people you are talking about. You should respect their position. There is no such thing as "liking music for all the wrong reasons". You like what you like, period. I personally don't like Radiohead but I would never tell you and them to walk off of a cliff. That's just ridiculous, it's the definition of being an elitist and close minded. You think your methods are the only way and you don't take anyone else's likes and preferences into consideration before you let something ridiculous babble off your tounge.

I have to say most indie kids I know pretty much worship the Talking Heads, they don't dismiss them at all.
