This thread seems to be arousing surprisingly strong emotions.

so first we have a thread where a grungy goes on and on about how much he hates the tastes of his high school peers...

now we get an anti-hipster griping about his roommate's tastes...

Yeah this is all a bit too Cobe Kai for me. It could have some potential but if you're just going to go 'if you don't like it, get the **** out' then what's the point?

Quote:

There are some people who do not try. There are some people who cast aspersions on an album before they actually listen to it. There are some people who actually herald albums as "the greatest album of all time" before they've heard a single ****ing note of it. These...are hipsters. These are the people that take the sparse fecal droppings which fall from the flabby ass-cheeks of music critics as gold. These are the people that have subscriptions to NME, Pitchfork, Kerrang!, Sputnik, etc...and actually read them. Well, not read. But at least skim -- to find out which albums they should buy and which ones they should troll music forums about.

I'm fairly sure these people don't exist either. You'll get some that skim over their albums but if they're hyping something it's usually the latest singles.

I feel like the second most elitist people I encounter on music forums/real life, are pitchfork fans. They tend to have a slight holier than thou attitude, most likely instilled by pitchforks condescending quips on bands that they hate, bands deemed 'uncool'.

However, by far the most elitist group on the interwebs, are the pitchfork haters. The pitchfork haters look down on pitchfork readers, for no other reason than liking records pitchfork does, even though they most likely also own and enjoy the same albums. I really feel as though they resent pitchfork because without it, these great underground "diamond in the rough" bands and albums wouldn't be as popular, and then they could look down their nose at people who havent heard of them. Its almost like they feel pitchfork beat them to the punch, and they're resentful from it. For Chrissakes, its absurd, to take pride in something so insignificant as not reading a music website that is popular among those interested in underground music. The pitchfork hating baffles me, as they're never the only website hyping an album, someone mentioned the 'indie hype machine' awhile back...its all the critics, not just pitchfork. People bitching about music critics is aggravating enough, even when its something like rolling stone, which will give any Hootie and the Blowfish album/rehashed polished up mediocre classic rock album released by a "new" group a blowjob, nevermind when its a music website that heralds the same albums these snobs listen to anyway.

That being said, they, among everyone else, overrated Interpol hardcore. They had some really good melodies, but their sound is far too derivative. Generally in genre "revivals", bands add something different to the previous generations sound. Interpol took a carbon copy of it, and just applied it to a really good record full of songs.
