pulp have some decent songs but i don't understand the appeal of jarvis cocker. or billy joel for that matter, his music is blatantly rubbish. just because one is not a snob it does not mean one should contrive an interest in junk either.

I don't think so.
Though I hate when I really like someone but hate their taste in music.
I'm

i wouldnt call myself a snob. i like what i like and people like what they like. all music has its place. thats very diplomatic isnt it?

i dont impose my music on anyone, if people ask what it is then i tell them but dont force people to listen or think less of them if they dont like it.

i'm just better than everyone anyway, music taste or not.

Jerk.

you're all just jealous haters

I'm too mentally out there to really think about feeling superior to anyone.Post-snobbery is the way forward and proves that being ice-cold and bloodless is the only way to deal with indie snobs.

indie snobs are just bitter geeks, i, on the other hand, am majesty incarnate. i exhibit more majesty that christ firing his sacred sperm on to the face of jenna jameson.

let out the anger.

I used to be an indie snob, but I'm above all that childish hipster rubbish now.

I like this one album by Billy Joel a lot ... don't know the title of it.

Wouldn't anno 2007 be the important question: Are you a "free folk snob" or a "drone snob"? C'mon Indie Rock snob in 2007? What does make you a snob or an elitist by liking Sonic Youth, Polvo or Fugazi in 2007?

I'm and indie snob and proud about it ! ! !

I still keep on playing my sleater-kinney records all over and over again and feel I'm way too cool for all of my average friends.

i hate billy joel. apart from uptown girl which is amazing.

I only hate the genre disco. But that as a whole. I think so at least ... This and Hot Stuff and YMCA. Other songs/genres I just don't like, ie I'm indifferent towards them.

Some of the people i feel utter contempt for,rather than snobbery,are:

- Grown men trying to follow what the kids are up to and who use expressions such as 'Rock n Roll!' in everyday chats that don't require such language.If these grown men also happen to be actors,i feel like chopping off their heads like in a Shakesperian tragedy.

- Young and highly wrong kids who smugly say 'But i'm young!' in an annoyingly self-conscious way in every second sentence.These little shits generally happen to be students who are more concerned with having an opinion about 'stuff' when they haven't even seen the world or finished their studies yet.I've always thought that being young was meant to be a little more adventurous than that.


-Alternative gay types who end up looking down on other types but wouldn't venture themselves into any unknown musical territory unless it had what are,ultimately, easily recognizable elements and structures.Alternative to nothing,basically.

- Older music types who patronize the younger generations with their 'I was there' blablablabla.

I try not to do that, but sometimes I catch myself doing it anyway. It's a shortcoming. The thing that will usually set me off is when a much-younger person goes into lecture mode with erroneous "historical" information, or when people my same age speak of some kind of "golden age" that happened x number of years ago, forgetting that there was just as much crappy music inside and outside the "underground" as there is now.

That's more like correcting someone,though.Nothing wrong with that.

Most new people I meet are involved in music and are already in the sort of insulated cultural bubble I live in, so I don't usually have to ask about that. It's just sort of a given.

you tell them, pa!
