I remember when this started happening in the So. Cal Punk scene and it happened surprisingly fast; that 'I'm Punker than you because I listen to XYZ' mentality. Especially funny because Punk was all about alienation and not fitting in. I've said it before here - once a bunch of people get together and form a group, no matter how disenfranchised they were to begin with, they almost immediately become elitest pricks and start looking for other people they can persecute for being different. Some people are just weak, stupid assh*les and I don't think there is anything you can do about it.
