I would say simply say "no", and if I was in the mood
I might go into detail what I do like. You don't even
have to take extremes like "Cher". I absolutely
DESPISE trance, and many people could assume you like
that if you say you like techno. Almost any techno
that gets played in a club, chances are I dislike it.
I would probably have to play them a sample of what i
do like.

I don't think someone is a moron, because they don't
know electronic music very well. They may know a lot
of great music that I don't know.

Are you an elitist if you like speed metal, and not
classic rock? Or if you like west coast hip hop, but
not east coast? You like what you like, why worry
about labels or what others think.

I understand very well. I use to have to drive 100
miles every other week to buy records, until I opened
a shop with some friends. Luckily I near some good
shops. And these days you can check out a lot of the
artists or tunes you are curious about on the net.

Agreed. Thankfully things are getting a little better
every year, at least where I am. Cheers
