I never really got why people seem to think that metal is an elitist culture tbh.

A couple months ago:
Me: (Calls up a local metal show on the college station) "Can you play some Boris, Pelican, or Isis?"
DJ: "I don't play any of that arty shit."
RedLion:
It's funny how people think themselves somehow cool or different for not being into the bands listed in that poll (I'm not very big into Tool. Or Rush, apart from YYZ, but hey.)
Whether you like it or not, without Floyd, The Beatles and Zeppelin, none of "your" music would exist. Each one of those bands accomplished more in each one of their albums individually than any indie artist nowadays accomplishes in a lifetime of work. And I love Indie. But it's just a fact. Deal with it.
KvP:
Up on your high horse, ain't you?
And I don't know, I'd be surprised if Boris didn't develop outside the influence of Zeppelin or Floyd.

It depends how far into it you get. There are some pretty hardcore elitist black metal (or whatever, it happens it pretty much any genre) listeners out there, who hate everything that has more than say a thousand listeners, or call anything that has any kind of other influence than pure metal 'sold out'.
But generally we're just elitist towards metalcore and nu metal, lol.
