Just a rant Guiss, I don't know what a music snob is. I didn't know you could be into rock and roll and be a snob. I always associated that with classical music. But I guess if we can be beer snobs we can be music snobs as well. I dare say that I know more about many different types of music than most people. But I've always subscribed to the different strokes philosophy.
So I gotta get married before I put Christopher Cross on my iPod....
I used to be a music snob (and, yes, you can be a music snob within any genre). Then I realized it was completely subjective. Some music is more technically advanced, but in this day and age there is nothing truly unique. So I've decided just to like what I like (even a little Maroon 5) and dislike what I dislike.
It's interesting, though, because there seem to be some neurological underpinnings for musical taste (and a lot of other aspects of music for that matter). Some people, at a very biological level, cannot tolerate certain sounds. I honestly believe that is why I have so much trouble with steel guitar in country music (except in certain cases).
I have learned to appreciate advanced technique in most any genre, and I've also learned that it is okay to like a song for purely nostalgic and/or emotional reasons.
