[QUOTE="conservationist:1194245"]I like the tripartite division. I think it's most accurate, with one addition: the first category splits into two. [QUOTE="arilliusbm:1194131"](tl;dr) [b]Person number one: Metal Elitist/Metal Veteran/Knowledgeable Metalhead/Dwyer[/b] Metal fan who has been listening to loud music most of their life and is knowledgeable on all fronts of metal. They live and die by heavy music, and can name any band just by their sound. (b) THOSE WHO TAKE IT PERSONALLY LIKE HIPSTERS. These people have the choice to feel enlightened over the other two kinds of fans or to not feel enlightened at all. It is personal choice, and most people find them to be elitist assholes. [/QUOTE] To that you could add: (a) THOSE WHO VIEW METAL AS A COMMUNITY OR ABSTRACT IDEA. These people don't care if they are personally enlightened or not, but care about musical quality and allegiance to an artistic idea, whether they like it or not. For them, elitism is about choosing music of quality, and quality is determined not only by artistry (including musicianship and composition) but by the quality and relevance of what the music expresses. For these people, it is not personal at all, but rather the opposite. They see us all and themselves as means to an end, of a larger gestalt or union of community and idea. #a elitist includes 4/5 of the quality metal musicians I've met/written.[/QUOTE]
