One whose snobbery is defined by opposition to perceived snobs, highbrow art, aesthetics in general or simply anything one does not like.

You know he secretly hates it, nobody REALLY likes that stuff, he's just too much of a poseur to admit he just likes Brett Ratner like the rest of us.
or Anti-snob snob: I don't like that uppity croissant and espresso bullshit, just give me a roll and strong coffee! (paraphrased from Mad Magazine's Simon & Simon parody) or Dad, stop pretending you don't like Thomas Pynchon and Fellini; Jesus, you've become such an anti-snob snob! |
