I am not calling everyone "pretentious" in fact I'm doing the opposite. I am trying to divert that accusation being levied against someone who thinks independently both on a philosophical and on a creative level.

I guess your definition of "pretentious" is someone who says "Wowie Zowie." Someone who warns you: don't eat the yellow snow. How dare he. If jadis wants to eat yellow snow who is the pretentious Frank Zappa to say otherwise. Wowie Zowie that is really pretentious.
