Official Music Elitists Club, To be used in conjunction with Official Film Snobs Club Options

[AThorpedo]

Come one, come all! In the same vein as the Official Film Snobs Club, exclusionist attitudes come free with every top 20 favorite albums or artists list posted! If you feel like you should be entitled to tell people to never listen to music again, then apply. As someone that has been telling people to listen to better music for years now, I will let you know how qualified you aren't to push your taste in music onto others. I hated your favorite band before you knew they existed; I know what I'm doing.

If I like the cut of your jib, you can tell people what bands to listen to and why the music they listen to is just recycled, trite bullshit. We can also exchange soulseek usernames. <3

So, as I said, post your Top 20 favorite ALBUMS or ARTISTS. I'm not terribly interested in hearing about your favorite songs. Chances are those change all the time. Artists and albums offer something a bit more consistent.

We will be like a bowel irritation with a dope record collection. 1 2 3! 1 2 3!

What makes me wary of this is that it is...well, everything, and therefore I'll probably have to get back to you on this.

I looked into your club and it was nothing but rehashed indie bullshit that everybody over at Pitchfork strokes their knobs to. The rest were singers and musicians from sixty years ago that everybody listens to just so that they feel like they have more indie "cred," a few of which, I admittedly like.

I'll give you a shot, though. I sense potential. Send a list (I'm somewhat expecting an album, since my hopes are mildly up) and maybe we can work something out.

Wait, let me get this straight: Admittance to this club is based solely on your like or dislike of the posted artists? Do you have any special plaques or awards hanging on your wall that make you a highly qualified music connoisseur, or are you just being overly pretentious and seating yourself on a higher pedestal because you have all the time on your hands to discover every band there ever was and then compare them to other people's favorites?

Oh, okay. I get it.

A little bit from column A, a little bit from column B. I hardly put taking the time to discover new bands that actually bring something new and interesting to the realm of music on the same level as "having all the time on my hands." I'm sure you have your passions.

But, other than that, yeah, you're pretty much right. You can't be in this club unless I like your list because it means you don't listen to shitty music.

REPRSENT. TRU PUNX.

Aw, well thats okay, I suppose.
May I ask why mewithoutyou is one of your most hated bands?

To put it simply, they just represent a lot of what I don't like about music. I hate their sytle of music. There isn't a whole lot to "post-hardcore" that I can actually say I enjoy; it pretty much extends to me thoroughly enjoying Blood Brothers and At the Drive-In, in other words, the two post-hardcore bands that everybody likes. I also hate how blatantly Christian they are. I am sour towards post-hardcore, I am sour towards Christian rock. I can say one good thing about them, though: the vocalist isn't terrible. All other factors aside, I do enjoy the vocals.

Oh, and I am enemies with Tooth and Nail records.
