"insultingly dumb, i listen to metal" "check this out, this top 100 musician isn't mainstream so you probably haven't heard of them"

this thread's turning into a decent example of why i hate talking to people about music. no matter how polite or reasonable someone is otherwise, there's like a 90% chance they have all these weird value judgements tied up in what people are listening to. it's incredibly tedious.

Some people use pop culture trivia as the basis for their identity, get preoccupied by trying to prove they’re a ‘real fan’ to other people just like them and forget to enjoy any of it.

Kindered soul here. People are way too aggressive about this stuff, and not even in an objective manner.

Tedious is the perfect word for it.
