Why is music snobbery even a thing?

I find people who are almost exclusively into one genre or style of music to be quite strange. I went to school with a lot of lads who divided themselves into three groups; the rockers were into stuff like Metallica, Slayer, Foo Fighters, Green Day, punk bands; the next group were into the dreadful claptrap that was popular dance music at the time; the final contingent were into indie music - REM, Radiohead, Weezer etc.

Most of them eventually grew out of that clique or grouping they had identified themselves as being a part of. That said, you'd still see a few of the hardcore rockers wandering around the town - receding hairline, ponytail, unkempt beard; wallet chain, denim jacket, slow lumbering walk, cider face.

I always had a thing for goth women for some insane reason. But could never get my hands on them.

I don’t think goth is so much a scene you’re either goth or you’re not. My sister tried it on one time, like it was a fashion and only came off with some burlesque / bondage shít it was pathetic. Then there’s chicks in floral summer dresses trying to radiate positivity yet who cannot disguise their inner goth
