Back on topic: OP's analogy fails because lots of people ARE food snobs. It's just not very common because, as Urban Hatemonger pointed out, in order to be one you have to be able to afford higher quality food.

Look at wine or chocolate or anything like that (basically any "luxury" food, for lack of a better term) and it's pretty easy to find snobs.

why should anyone be a food snob...? its just food...as long as you like it why should u care if anyone else likes it...?

so i think his analogy doesnt fail, its just not as effective at showing his true meaning

A food snob and a terrible film director. I don't know which trait is worse.

it's like this: i don't know much, very little (sadly) about visual art. i know i sometimes look at something and am blown away and thats all that matters, if the heart is on the canvas i'm game. but if someone who was educated in the world of art wanted to teach me what makes something better by explaining the history of art, different techniques i feel my opinion would change and become more intelligent. (whatever intelligence is, but you know).

same thing goes for food and music.

whether a band is good or not depends on their integrity. what they are trying to achieve. is it creative? does it push the boundaries at all? does it offer anything that another band might not? otherwise, whats the ****ing point?

and thats what makes nickleback bad.

somethign like that anyway. i have difficulty articulating my thoughts. but i'm right nonetheless!!

on a side note: i'm not saying that the arts can be brought down to logic because it is just expression, i just feel some bands and some art are expressing themselves more truly then others. and thus i feel they are better.

I feel like the original post was actually not directed towards humans being opinionated as it actually was towards a specific group of people that hold opinions in a specific way. I mean of course everyone will have opinions, and if there were none then the world be pretty lame. Its the fact that when it comes to music some people think that they are damn music missionaries out to change everyone to their own way of thinking. Its the old school "everyone that likes this is conformist so come do exactly as me and my friends do by not liking what everyone else likes to be non-conformist". the truth is that the only way to be non conformist if you really care all that much is to not care at all what anyone else thinks about anything pertaining to your own opinions, and follow only your own uninfluenced choices, which is completely impossible as it is. Music feels a bit like religion because the people that like each music genre either want to convert everyone to their side or conduct a crusade. what happened to the times when people could say they like everything but country and emo?
