It's the main reason why I don't want to be associated with any group. Because I'm against elitism.
Yes, this sounds pathetic. And superficial. I know it seems like I'd be saying that all different groups of people involve elitism. I am not, but it's something I've experienced quite a few times.
And it annoys me every time. *rant ahead!*
For example, if I talk about a band I enjoy, and someone goes all like "not that genre" "ridiculous" "this is a bad band and you're a bad person for liking them". Fair, friendly and tolerant, thanks.
Because being judgemental about others is normal.
I mean, I don't think bad about some of my friends because the music they listen to is not "true". Heck, I don't even know what "true" metal/gothic/punk/whatever is supposed to be. Should I hate something because it's popular? No, just like I shouldn't like somthing only because it's popular.
Should I judge others because of the music they genuinely enjoy? Sure No.
So why do they do it to me, then?
I have nothing against education. Maybe suggesting 'better' bands, if you must. But bringing the hammer down on everything that's not the way you think "true" whatever is, well, that's horrible.
But yeah, tear me apart based on my interests.

Passive-aggressive much? Maybe. BUT SERIOUSLY. >:/
