"music snob"? "music nerd"? i think it's ok to be a snob, in that you think the music you like is of a higher quality than, say, top 40 pop music, just as long as you don't look down on people who are not in your musical circle. i think we've all had a tendency to judge people positively or negatively based on what band t-shirt they're wearing, but it's really limiting when you think about it. especially when our teenage angst pops out at age 30, and the thought bubble above your head reads "why can't they just accept me for who i am?"... we, in turn, should accept other musical types, all the while trying to be a positive force in the musical lives of others. people who don't want to share their music, assuming that someone who likes green day couldn't appreciate the music of sebadoh or the replacements or whatever. i just prefer not to analyze it all too much, even though i just did! oh, and my sympathies for the volunteers. i guess the bulldogs thrashed em pretty goon on saturday, eh? :)
yeah, rereading what i read, i regret saying that any music is of higher quality... there's just nothing wrong with saying that the music you like is better in your eyes/ears, as long as you don't close doors to have any relationship with someone outside your sphere. that said, there is a certain chemistry you're going to have with someone who, for examply, bought your messy music fanzine back in 1997. :) and there's nothing wrong with that.
oh, and i dance to kelly clarkston's "since you've been gone" harder than i dance to any other song. go figure.
