...depends on how you define "snob"

it's kinda like the term "weird" ... it has a very subjective meaning.

Example: say you're in a room full o' hillbilly rednecks, they might consider you a real weirdo for listening to early 70's progressive rock...

one man's "snobbery" may be another's appealing personality

"Same musical style"... Prog?!

IMO, Progressive Rock is as variant as Classical Music, probably even more...

As many of you know I am a bigger Progressive Metal fan and not very elitist, people on other forums especially Metal and John Myung forums, call me a Prog Snob!  I am definitely snobby compared to those people, but compared to flowerchild, welll we all love him.

Well too the question, I have alweys considered my self to have very good taste in music and i am very intrested in music and alweys try to have an open mind and give the music some time and not yust lisen to it once and then say its crap like most pople probobly do. most pople and most of my friends are not as intrested in music as i am and if they lisen to a song one time ánd dont like it they whuld never try it ever again and therfor they will never disscover the great stuff or prog, i have tryed many times to play great music that i love for these pople but it never work they dont understand it the first time and to them its therefor sh*t and they go back and lisen to thier metal crap... Wich i whuld never lisen to. So i guees i am a music snob, becaus i like good orginal music and not mainstrem crap, ok not all mainstrem music is crap but much.
