Fact: I too am a complete eliteest prick who gets kicks off of insulting other peoples tastes in mainstream music. However, I listen to a FUCKLOAD of J-pop. So, yeah. I don't really care, but it obviously makes me look like quite a hypocrite in many eyes. Oh well, I'd take Utada hikaru over shite emo-metalcore and faggotshit rap music anyday. (A7X, and Flo Rida can suck my harbl)
Also, I use to not care for QoTSA and Incubus until I heard No One Knows, and 3& 7's (QoSTA), and Anna Molly (incubus). Now I think they're awesome... well, maybe not Incubus, but I'm making a point here.
My advice is not giving a shit, break your elitest views on one band, and devert such hatred to another or something like that.

HAR, I ASKED THAT.
I don't see what's wrong with your music tastes widening, really. I like it when I listen to something I wouldn't normally listen to. The only thing that pisses me off is that we're not made of money and we want all their albums sooner or later...
I'd say just live with it. It's not a problem.

Nah, its not my tastes widening and me listening to MGMT and metallica and vampire weekend and cat stevens and dire straits and queens of the stone age that's my problem.
its my refusal to accept that i now like more varied stuff.
