Don't be a hipster snob
Bastardous Bassist:
Are the music majors at your school that pretentious? Shame on them! It's probably a snobby, elitist program for that sort of thing to happen. That's what I like about here. Most everyone is pretty humble and cool.
Misereatur:
As some one who study music at school, I just want to say that we may be considerd elitist snobs but we really just want to have a decent conversation about music. And not the "OMG! how can you listen to that Jazz thing? its sooooo boring!". Stuff like that makes me want to punch that person.
Also, if someone trys to fake it, we are sure to notice and take revenge on that person.
That being said, those guids are so true it hurts.
I personally know a "Faker" who trys to pass off as a Metalhead. It is my personal hobby to make fun of him. And he thinks I'm just being friendly.
Bastardous Bassist:
Yeah. I think we only seem pretentious because a lot of the time, what we want to describe is best said using more esoteric language. However, we're not trying to look smart, honestly. We just love music!
Edit: Okay, I'm sure some music majors are just trying to look smart, but they're typically the ones who don't cut it.

I was friends with a big chunk of music majors when I was at UMBC...none of them really seemed like hipster snobs to me. As long as you would put together a little bit more conversation than "the beat go beeeep boooom bip!", they'd work with ya.
Hmm..faking it among the goths could be fun though. So much music to make fun of, so little time. *glee*
Bastardous Bassist:
Which brings me to an important point, actually. Anybody who is going to college/ever plans to go to college in the future, take a music appreciation class! Seriously, even if you know music reasonably well, music appreciation allows you to talk about stuff more intelligently (i.e. so people can actually know what you're talking about!), plus it's a good excuse to listen to a bunch of music. Of course, this advice may be really horrible, because I've never taken music appri personally. It may teach one nothing of value.
