Is everyone on Musicbanter at least a little bit of a music snob?

Absolutely not! How dare you suggest such a thing?

And could you use the tradesman's entrance please? I've just had my floor recarpeted in Persian rugs, and the chandelier is being polished. No, the other one. No, not that one. Look, you see the seventh one? Well, just beyond that there's ...

I'm not exactly shopping in the music section at Walmart. So in that case, yes.

because Wal-Mart's selection of music blows

YES (

)! Like others stated, anyone who sees music as more than just "songs" definitely has a little "snob" in them. Especially when it comes to our favorite artists. That said, I love discussing music BOTH pro and con anyway, so I'm fine with debate as long as it remains respectful. Which IS possible, contrary to popular belief. Great question and comments everybody (

).

Good thing the predecessor post was sarcastic.

I recently heard TB say something that put things in perspective for me:

"Elitist is what people who don't have any standards call the ones that do.."

If im honest i am bit of a musical snob..
more so irl than in here but i try not to personally judge ppl instead i try to judge the band itself.. if ppl are too attached to them i'll most likely offend them but if not, we just agree to disagree with little snobbery involved, exmp

Me + Linkin park = Hate
Ki + Linkin park = like
Me + Ki = we cool

Personality > Taste

Pretty much what I was getting at as well. You've gotta have a bit of snobiness when discussing music. Its what brings the discussion.
