ITT well known bands that you like

[sans culottes]

I think there's a trifecta of music snobs: indie kids, metalheads, and classic rockers. All three hate each other and shove their elitism down society's collective musical throat. There are other additional offenders, but these three are the words at the moment.

I don't see too much classic rock snobs, but they get irritating. Especially when they reject new bands that sound 25 years old. Then they're just stupid.

I could easily befriend, and have a pleasant conversation with, an indie fan or a metalhead, as long as they wouldn't be some kind of elitist jerk. But anyone except an isolated monk enjoys feeling better than other people about meaningless thing (even me, and you). The result: an indie snob or metalhead finds all his indie or metal friends, and they become circle jerks.
