I listen to Lady GaGa and Britney Spears without any sense of shame or guilt simply because they are catchier than Herpes. I still listen to my copy of The Fame Monster on a regular basis. I am not pretentious or a snob, but I still think that nu metal sucks.

Friendly recommending music you like to someone if fine, but saying "zomfg that **** you listen to sucks, listen to what I listen or you're be regarded as a (insert insults)" only makes you look like a douchebag and certainly won't have that someone accepting your recommendations.
We hold friendly discussions about plenty of music that isn't snobbish that doesn't devolve into this shitfest. Just look at the Motley Crue thread. The only new elements to this thread are you and PowerPunisher, which leads me to believe that the poisonous elements are you two. Not us.
