The Buzzfeed Music Snob Quiz - Refined for 2016!

[innerspaceboy]

Tonight I stumbled upon Buzzfeed's latest iteration of the Music Snob Quiz which went live last Wednesday. I see previous versions have been shared on MB and the questions this time round are hilariously accurate.

Ever heard of Robert Christgau?

Ever been anxious about bitrates?

Ever spent more than $100 on an LP? $500? $1000?

Ever gotten way into noise music?

Ever purchased a 33 1/3 book?

Ever been casually dismissive of the Beatles?

My score: 100% Snob. "Your snobbishness is terrifying."

See how you measure up!

[Tristan_Geoff]

50%

"You definitely like music, but you like other things too. You're normal."

Well...

Accurate enough.

[Black Francis]

70% Music snob

You're a music snob by most standards, but thankfully you're not a total dick.

What!? how could this be? i barely knew some of the obscure artists they asked about and ive never been to coachella or any of those music festivals.

Here are the questions that gave me a good laugh.

Have you ever complained about something being "overproduced"?

Have you ever made a remark to the effect of " Mtv doesn't even play videos anymore, man"?

Have you ever gotten way into "World music" even if the term makes you cringe?

Have you ever purchased a copy of the wire?

[The Batlord]

10%? I remember taking this test a while back and getting much higher. Wut happen?

This is one of those polls that makes certain that every curious user has to click 5-10 web pages to learn whatever their score is. Not that there's anything wrong with that (not in the Seinfeld sense) but that's why I don't do those kinds of polls. That and I'm just a colossal web snob.

No, it's all on the one page.

Same for me. Sounds about right.

Same here.

Another 70% here. Though I did accidentally hit "yes" to an answer, and was unable to change it. So I'm giving myself 69%.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

70% as well.

"Have you ever cringed at an expensive vinyl reissue of something that can be found in, like, EVERY used record bin?"
