Music snots in general suck in such a huge way, kinda says a lot about their whole personality in my opinion…in a not so good way. If they do ask for that dna sample to check your jazz gene let me know, I will send you a zombie sample, it will scare the crap out of them!!!

Not serious enuf, give me a break, did they provide you with a little quiz that they rate on some sort of elitist scale… <img>

Theres a hellacopters ag deal called kids in denial, doubt they would be as snotty…will let you know.

Yeah, I’ve run into the snob type too… But I’m meaner than they are and will blatantly pick on them for it. <img>

Ya know, Rosa, I’ve often had the opposite problem with the Dinosaur Jr / Sebadoh deal. On several occasions I’ve had some snobbish type act like I was a traitor to J for liking Sebadoh’s music. Like I was supposed to take sides in a conflict that had nothing to do with anyone but J and Lou…

People are weird… <img> <img>

i believe rosa said it quite eloquently, people do tend to latch onto subcultures as a way to make up for insecurities in their personality… or at least i’ve always thought so.
reminds me of the tree house of horror (8 i think), with the homega man.
‘but aqau man, you cannot marry a woman without gills..’
comic shop owner looks up to see the nuclear missile aimed right for him.
‘i’ve wasted my life…’
and detonation.

I hear what you’re saying. I completely agree with Rosa on this. I have encoutered the exact problem with any genre of music I can find. Self-righteous judgemental dick-heads can seemingly immediately tell if you are allowed to be part of their incestuous clique of a subculture by if you’re wearing the right T-shirts, clothes or have the right records. I believe it is mainly a wish to define themselves by latching on to certain groups (however cliched), as a way for people to think that they lead a certain lifestyle.
‘Punk rock’ fans are twats. By this I mean that they are of the opinion that any music with more than four chords, or songs more than three minutes, or anything recorded at an expensive studio is corporate c*ck-sucking music. Oh, and Punk is now seemingly determined by what fluorescent colour your hair is today.
Indie fans suddenly decide that they hate a band they had previously liked because they sign to a major-label.
Indie Jangle-pop fans literally won’t talk to you if you like the sound of distorted guitars.
You aren’t a fan of Heavy Metal style music unless you profess an undying love for Black Sabbath every other sentence, and you aren’t allowed to listen to any band that hasn’t got solos or has hooks, melodies or memorable choruses.
Nu metal kids are fools who like sh*te music, bt don’t realise how commercial their bands are, or that their music is just a degenerate version of music by original, good bands like Tool and the Deftones.
Goths can’t dent their cemetry credability by associating themselves with someone who wears something that isn’t black, or has wierd haircut.
So much for all the ‘individuality’ these w*nkers are so fond of telling us they have. (Am I the only one who finds it pant-wettingly hilarious that they tell us of this while dressed in the exact same clothes as the gimp that they’re standing next to?).
I could go on all day, but I have other things to do and I guess you guys have better things to do than read my rantings. The point being made that you have no doubt guessed by now is that these people don’t deserve hanging out with. They are more bigoted than any mainstream pop fan, who at least aren’t making any pretenses about their lives through their music.
At least you have the courage and intelligence to like music which you like and not music to cater to their standards. You owe it to yourself to tell these people where to get off, or even better, do exactly what pisses them off. As you say, turn up to a jazz place playing an unapproved of guitar.

Thats me done for today, but you’re not the only one.
