Let's divide snobbish people into those snobbish about material and about non-material things.

I could write for ages, but briefly, material snobes mostly show insecureness or have nothing else with what they might present themselves, nothing inside them. They are often spoilt. In my experience, they are mostly revealed as superficial.

Non-material snobes (music etc.) is a different thing. Most of us here actually are music snobes. It is just the feeling or fact that you reached a higher level.

So, the term "snobe" should not be regarded as disapproving.

I totally agree on that one but material snobism is much more common and it really irritates the crap out of some people. btw, is purism the highest level of musical-snobism? :D

Maybe, in one way. But, on the other hand, purism might be a lower level or a start while experiment and research would be the product of dedicating to music and pushing its boundaries. It depends on the individuum - as all things in life.

Btw I see your Orwell signature. It's from 1984? I still haven't read it.

It's hard to be a music snob because people just think you're wierd. Sort of an oppsite snob effect.
