to kind of agree with Zeph and SouthernTrendkill and go off on what they said, I don't think there's a problem with elitism as an idea. Cultivating your taste and demanding more substance (however you define that) with the music you listen to is certainly admirable. And being able to articulate the differences between two bands is also a good trait to develop. The problem often lies within this last bit; people on this forum feel compelled to explain to other posters why Old School Death Metal Band A is infinitely better than New School Swedish Melo Death Metal Band B. Mud slinging and nose raising often ensues. That's not going to convince me to listen to the band you like. Explain to me, as a person, what it is that affects you, as a person, when you listen to the band you like and how it might develop my tastes as a music listener, if I want to develop my tastes.
