Yes. But, I find it ironic. I am a snob because I like, say, Gong or King Crimson, or whatever, but only because people I know have never heard or heard of them. So, because I was somehow exposed to a LOT of different bands who, for the most part, will never be heard on the radion (in the United States, at any rate), I am a snob.

I have always been amazed at the fact that if you do not buy into the lowest common denominator, you're considered a snob.
Vive Gong!

I like to say I'm not but I always find myself giving off a "my music's so much better than yours" attitude. But when a kids walking around whispering trying to sound like he's screaming, what else can you do but laugh?

I love making fun of my friends' sorry taste in music.

I am sure a snob, and I am proud to be a close minded snob that is looked strangely by the rap fans at my school =)

Probably not as much as people who listen only to classical music, and think that any music from the popular culture has to be further down the evolutionary scale...
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Simple question. I say yes, and rightly so too.
