How many classical music listeners do you actually know that are snobs?
There are snobs everywhere, in every field. Baseball snobs try to make you feel bad if you don't know Ty Cobb's lifetime batting average or Willie Mays'hat size. Computer snobs try to make you feel bad if you don't know a ROM from a RAM.
Classical music has a reputation for snobbery, but in fact the audience is full of wonderful people who aren't snobs at all, people who come to enjoy the beauty of the music. These people know that what really matters is your willingness to open your mind and heart to the music.

I love metal, hard rock,the oldies and classical.
