A specimen that is prone to be of high levels of irritance to the normal person. In general, they hold the belief that their musical taste and their musical taste alone is relevant while anyone who has opposing or different opinions on music is considered stupid and won't hesitate to spew snotty remarks at you. These people are often pretentious poseurs who always make an ass out of themselves as they claim to be "non-conformist" for listening to indie bands with quirky names who have song titles that are at least ten words in length. The funny thing is, is that they don't realize that they are actually the biggest conformers out there for listening to, or claiming to listen to certain bands or genres in order to fit into a certain scene or gain some cred.
Generalizations aside, they are the Adolf Hitlers of music and if you don't like the exact same music they do, they will cut you down in ridiculous ways for having a different opinion and it often leads to broken friendships. If you find that you are friends with a music snob, do yourselves a favor and just cut them loose right away. It'll save your fist from being hit by their face when they find out you listen to mainstream. There are some who will even criticize others for not being as pedantic about music or a band as they are or even simple things as to why you are interested in the artists you like.

General music snob: Excuse me? You listen to Britney Spears? That's not real music; that's manufactured crap! Try listening to real music like Suzie Crotchrocket and the Breast Rashes!
Pretentious poseur: All the bands I listen to are known by fewer than 100 people and you can't find their albums in stores, so that totally means I have a better taste in music than everyone! I'm so HxC!
Know-it-all: Unless you read the liner notes of every album, read all of their biographies, know all the words to their released and unreleased songs by heart AND look up every possible bit of information on the band as soon as you hear about them on the internet like I do, you don't deserve to call yourself a fan of music! Hmph!

An asshole that slags every other genre than the genre or genres he/she listens to. Completely the most immature, ignorant sob's this world has to offer.
Everyone who has ever said that a professional band sucks.
This goes double for you emo- and pop-bashers. That's just stupid.

=Singular=
A bitch who thinks that they are more superior in music than anyone else. They also don't think of music as the best unless they like it. Usually a show off that wants attention and considers themselves as a "prodigy".
=Plural (Musical Snobs or GROUP NAME Snobs)=
A group that thinks they are the best. It can be from choir, band, drama, etc. Usually advance always bitch about how they are more better than their "low classes", but sometimes (usually high school), beginners or amateurs think they are the best than a "middle class" thinking that their director put them their so that they can see how good he/she is (musical snob). They don't get the gist of having fun and think of every concert as a "competition".

Concert: Shut up bitches!! Who wants to even go to a group that doesn't even understand the meaning of fun?
Chamber: My throat soars.

Idiot 1: If you don't like U2, then you're a total music snob. Millions of people listen to them every day. No one wants to listen to a shitty little band that hardly anyone's heard of.
Idiot 2: Well you can go and fuck yourself, 'cos I
don't follow a herd mentality and I think for myself. I don't need someone else to form an opinion for me.
