I find it's just easier to stick with people of group X that like the music I do
and are able to quantify and qualify why they like it, rather than every day being a rerun of someone going 'this is so good and I feel the lyrics, man', and suddenly I'm being linked to a Clean Bandit video.
I resemble that remark!

Damn it, I've been noticed. :o

I've never stopped noticing. You've just never seen it--I look away, quickly, before your glance can catch my prying eyes. But, still...I watch and long.

I've certainly been guilty of being annoyingly smug and elitist, but I try not to do that any more. I can't explain why Front Line Assembly are awesome and Sam Smith isn't. I can't get on my moral high horse about boy bands (which, technically, are shit) because I love Motown, which is just the same mass produced factory made disposable pop with interchangeable artists. It was just made 30 years earlier. I love Phil Spector (not for his murder, for his music) but I despise Max Martin, who's essentially doing the same thing.
Point being, like stated in Buccura's original post, taste is subjective. What I like, you probably won't. More annoyingly, what most people like, I'm very likely to hate. That is not a comment on quality, but taste. Justin Timberlake is quite clearly a very talented young twat (sorry, "man"), but whatever it is he does so well, it does not suit me. Michael Jackson is an insult to my ears, but he clearly had talent in more ways than one. This isn't about me trying to be "cool and alternative", I like quite a lot of mainstream stuff. I even bought an album by Madonna once. On purpose. Because it was good. But one was enough.
But, unfortunately, you'll always get these elitist assholes telling you what's good and what isn't. I used to be one. I'm trying not to, but reading back my post, maybe I'm failing.

Nah man. Motown IS great and boy bands DO suck. Some things just are.

Stevie Wonder was once on the Motown lable, enough said. Oh yeh and Marvin Gaye.
Cant get on your high horse, well maybe you should get off the damn thing.
