I got 30, I thought I would score higher but I guess there some lines I won't cross. I don't know if there is anyone who considers me an expert. A few people know I am into music, but I haven't ever been called an expert before before.

You checked off 50 out of 100 on this list!
You’re a major music nerd, and most people in your life consider you to be an expert. You’re very committed, but there’s some lines you don’t cross Okey doke |

I got 47, because I'm a pretentious *******.
Some of the questions pissed me off, a lot of them are based around being inauthentic (lied about liking an artist, stopped liking an artist after they got popular) which aren't so much snobby as just fake. |

You checked off 23 out of 100 on this list! Fox Searchlight There is no doubt that you’re waaaay into music, but you’re not TOTALLY intense about it. Like, you probably have other interests and a well-rounded life. There’s no shame in that!

It's not about being "fake" it's about bands selling out, which is basically changing their sound so they can appeal to a wider audience in other words becoming "popular." If a fan likes a particular sound and the band moves away from that sound and in another direction, I don't why the fan is suppose to be "fake" because he or she doesn't like the new material. You make it seem like if you declare yourself a fan you have to like everything an artist does, even if they the band starts producing cheese, and if you don't then you are "fake." Can't fans have a mind of their own and decide what like what they like about a band instead of the band/producer/record company saying "here like this." Do people without a lemming mentality "piss you off?"

I got a score of 24, which I`m pretty happy about. The only questions that I fudged were the ones that started "Insisted..", which I ticked even though said or suggested would`ve been closer to the truth.
Didn`t linger long on the question about how many grams a vinyl recording weighs - does anyone here consider a thing like that?

Yes, but it's not really a deal breaker for me or even something that I look for. It's more of a "cool a 180g pressing of The VU & Nico" situation. The heavier records aren't as prone to warping and they tend not to die as fast (I've only played a couple of records to death, and they were the standard 125g. My 180gs are unscathed), but that's the only upside really.
