I hate this, and used to happen to me a lot at school. A friend would give me their other headphone to listen to whatever they're listening to, and nine times out of ten I had to ask who it was, and nine times out of ten, I'd be greeted with a response like: "OMFG, have you been living in a cave?! This are lyk, totally the most awesome band in existence!" Why couldn't I have just been told who they were in the first place? "Instead of acting all superior, you could have actually educated me on what this awesome band's name is, so that I MAY get to know them..."

I notice this a lot on Youtube too. Like, if an old band just brings out a new album, and more new people start to like the band and comment on the music videos, the old fans have to act like an ass about it. When Dead Space 2 came out, I liked the song on the television adverts, so I looked it up. And I found a video where a lot of the Dead Space crowd had gone to, doing the same thing as me, and there was this one guy going on about how he hates it that his favourite band was discovered because their music was featured in a video game advert. That's not supporting your favourite band, is it?

It's like no one is allowed to discover new things any more. ><
