WARNING! Let it be known.... Radiohead is a decent band & this is not an attack on the SENSIBLE fans/band in anyway .
However, a particular type of their fan base is well known for employing Jehovah Witness like mentality on people who dislike/ have no opinion on the aforementioned band.
Radiohead Elitism is a complex that usually develops in the late teens - early/mid 20's although some fans never outgrow the mentality.
The typical Radiohead Elitist is often in attendance at some prestigious college for something like say.. med school.
while often intelligent, commonly they are also smarmy, pompous, turtle-neck wearing douches.
Radiohead Elitists will compare all & any band to their Idolized band, proclaiming how much more "advanced", "diverse, complex and experimental" the almighty Radiohead is in comparison to any other band.. regardless of how un-alike the 2 are.
Worst of all, typical Radiohead Elitists will try to insinuate, if you DARE say that Thom Yorke and the gang are overrated, critics completely kiss their ass, or simply that you do not like them ...that this is simply because you "do not understand them" "they are too far from the mainsteam that you listen to".
This know-it-all Reborn Christian mentality alienates countless potential fans and can make enjoying/listening to Radiohead quite difficult. YES thats right ....DIFFICULT to ENJOY RADIOHEAD!
Such fans can be dealt with by simply calling out Musical Elitists on their snobbery.

A: Radiohead are alright, Theres a handfull of songs I like but as a whole, they are IMO VERY overrated.
B: Thats okay, it took me a while to get into Radiohead, I didnt start liking them until I had fully matured, their pretty experimental, I wouldnt expect someone like you who listens to a lot of main stream and bands following in their footsteps to "Get" them
A: Oh god! a Radiohead Elitist.... Ive heard of them but Ive never seen one for myself before.
B: Just because you cant UNDERSTAND THEM! go listen to your RadioheadLite Coldplay and your shitty Beatles! Matt Bellamy and all those tossers are shit compared to Thom Yorke....Thom Yorke is A GOD!
A: You are such a smug little pompous prick!
I listen to ALL kind of music, because Im open minded unlike you.
I dont refuse to worship Radiohead because Im not mature enough to handle them, or because my little "mainsteam" mind cant take it
I just dont think theyre all that great, and your attitude is only going to make me like them even less.... so fuck off!

Get the RADIO KILLA mug.Wherein you claim to want others to have so much freedom and choice that you force it upon them at the point of a rifle or tank barrel whether they want it or not. Thus also ensuring that their "choices" are the same as yours (you wouldn't want any pesky surprise outcomes after all).
We liberated the country and through radical democracy we installed a new (temporary) government that at least some of the population have heard of and at least some even voted for.
Radical democracy, for when you don't like the outcomes of traditional democracy.

Get the Rade mug.Once-powerful electronics store. Currently in financial trouble such that they cannot pay their employees on time. Also, tends to produce an uncanny level of returns on a particular employee, thus named "Cody."
Also, cannot afford full-time (40 Hour) pay, so all workers, save managers, must work less than 30 hours per work week. Therefore, though a decent employee can make $10+ an hour, said employee still will average only $400 every two-week period, if employee is lucky as fuck.

"Damn, Cody got another return. That's what, $3,000 in the past six weeks?"
"Indeed. He is very fucked by Stan Stan He's Our Man If He Can't Do It Some Other Braindead Monkey-Fuck Can."
"Fuck. I should go back to laying concrete. At least there I did 40 hours a week. You know, it would be nice if RadioShack could give me 40 hours a week so I wouldn't have to bum money off my girlfriend."
