Well, to be fair, I'd say what differentiates Tool & Radiohead from, say, Slayer (or Bieber, for that matter) is the former have tried to cultivate an aura of intellectualism in regards to their music. Some fans feel that by merely enjoying this music, it signifies they've caught onto something significant, leading to tremendous douchebagery. "Oh, you don't like Radiohead? It's ok, a lot of people don't like deep music."

Thing is:
ANYONE can listen to mainstream music like Bieber, Rihanna, Eminem, One Direction, Macklemore etc. I know quite a few people who are more intelligent than I am yet listen to that music.
But, NOT ANYONE can listen to Tool and enjoy them. You must have at least a certain level of intelligence and education to be genuinely interested in their lyrical themes and subjects they deal with.
