Metal Elitist 

An insult used on a person who knows alot bout Heavy Metal, because he refuses to accept the insulter's favorite Grindcore Punk band as being part of this music genre.

"Metal Elitists" are usually described as being rude. This might be true or not depending on how long they have been listening to Heavy Metal and the character of the person itself. A "Metal Elitist" who has been listening to Heavy Metal for example 7 years are actually the usual ones being bullied.
Dude1: - "DAMN, Avenged Sevenfold is the greatest 'Metal' band THAT EVER LIVED!"

Dude2 (supposed Metal Elitist): - "I don't think they are Heavy Metal, they're more like a combination of Hardcore Punk intrumentals with Emo Punk vocals, and a small but not significant touch of Heavy Metal. I would call them Punk.

Dude1: - "ZOMG, what are you talking about? THEY MAKE NOISE! Therefore, THEY'RE METAL! YOU ELITIST! I bet you think those old fucks Black Sabbath are Metal! LOL, you're weird.

Metal Elitist 

Metal Elitist is a term made up by people that hate die hard Metal fans that are 100% Metalheads. These anti-Metal people want them to go hand in hand with the idea of all being assholes.

A real Metal Elitist is a person that only loves and listens to Metal while not supporting any other type of music in any way. Yet, most people have an extremely negative view of this idea because Metal Elitists can be rude or posers pretending to be Elitists.

The biggest genres that Metal Elitists usually attack is Deathcore, Metalcore, Nu-Metal, and Rapcore. Many believe Deathcore is a rival of Death Metal which makes seniority and skill come to mind. Metalcore is compared to an Emo like style of vocals/musicianship. Nu-Metal is believe to be the biggest sellout genre to mainstream (non-Metal) audiences. Rapcore has rapping as vocal style and Rap has always been the nemesis of Metal.
Metal Elitist: Rage Against The Machine beyond sucks... They are not 100% Metal!
MTV Fan: Fuck you Metal Elitist, Rage Against Da Machine is Da Shit, Biiiiitch!

Emo-Fan: Dude, Avenged Sevenfold is so hard rock man...
Metal Elitist: No they are not... They incorporate an Emo-like-style to me... Yep, they are Metalcore.

Deathcore Fan: Deathcore is the hardest thing ever in Metal...
Metal Elitist: No its not, Death Metal is...
Deathcore Fan: No, its Deathcore...
Metal Elitist: No, its Death Metal... It has been around longer and focuses more on playing skills.
Deathcore Fan: So does Deathcore.
Metal Elitist: Hell No! Its not Hall of Fame material...

Metal Elitist 

There's nothing wrong with only listening to metal. Most definitions on here seem to be by people who have never listened to metal.

Metal Elitest 

A metal head who judges others on their tastes in metal

Will always listen to Pantera if offered

Most likely will NOT listen to Metallica

Whitechapel and Gojira are usually their favorite band

Easily triggered when their music is judged

WARNING: Absolutely do NOT say "metal is just noise" or "I listen to real music" around these people, you will get a definite throat punch and might get eaten
Metal Elitest: You don't listen to Pantera!?!? What kind of metal head are you.

Also Metal Elitest: I don't listen to Metallica, they're too mainstream.
