The music world has a lot of haters. That's definitely true. Moreso than any other entertainment genre, I would say. People scoff at your choice of music. It's usually because they are so caught up in their own interests, they forgot that other music exists, and if it's not their music, it "automatically sucks." I know exactly what you are talking about, and it doesn't happen solely on the Internet. Happens a lot in real life, too. I think the most famous "hater" scenario is the popular "anything that's played on the radio SUCKS!" type. You mention like like something that is on the radio, and the "cool kids" are like "heh," or something like that. Or "um, try listening to REAL music."
It's true that a lot of what's on the radio is trash today, but some of it is still awesome. A lot of people are too "cool" to listen to the radio. They associate being "signed" with "selling out." Even though none of them would complain if THEIR garage band hit it big
