Don't be a hipster snob
Kai:
She's fixable. Just kick her in the ovaries.

So very ironic.
Who'll be the first to reply criticising me?

I'm just stating my personal views on how music majors should be well-rounded, especially since they're going to be making music for a living. In fact, every successful musician I've known (notice, only the ones I've known, not the really famous ones) had a music collection that was widely varied. I just think it's important to know all sorts of music, because it helps one's appreciation of any of the aural arts. I mean, I will listen to all sorts of music. I don't say, "Oh, it's x genre, so I'm just going to hate it because it's not good enough for me." Screw that. I'm happy when I can enjoy music of every genre, because that means no matter where I am, I'll like the music being played. Of course, it just so happens I don't enjoy all the music I listen to, but I don't ever say certain music is below me. That's why I don't consider myself a snob. I'm also not well-versed enough in modern music to be a hipster, I think.
Also, one of the best rock guitarists I've ever seen (including anyone famous) was a big Evanescence fan, or at least he was. He went from genre to genre of music every few months. He'd absolutely love a certain type of music, but then get bored with it and move on to something radically different. It was frustrating, because I was in a band with him.

It is sad, but they aren't nearly as delusional as people who think that 80s music was the best thing ever.
As for hipsters, just wait them out. In time, whatever they're holding over your head for cool points will lose its edge, and they'll turn to a new, even more abstruse genre to exclude people from. All part of life's great cycle.
Misereatur:
Just ignore hipsters. They take pride in humiliating people who dont "understand" music like they do. although they know nothing of music.
I just ignore them because thier opinions dont matter, and I dont wast my time talking to people who humiliate other people for fun and superiority.
And once again, I pretty much agree with everything Bastardous Bassist wrote.

Hey man, the 80s were awesome, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Jesus and Mary Chain, Hüsker Dü, Dinosaur JR, REM, The Cure. Talking Heads, Blondie, The Mission, Sisters of Mercy, New Order, Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, The Smiths, Cocteau Twins... and the list goes on.
