A snob who in any given situation, acts like a knob.
Guy 1 "I don't like this pub, it's too lower class for me."
Guy 2 "What a snob end."
An especially irritating breed of tool, the music snob is a self described authority on what is or is not "good" music. The genre is irrelavant, as music snobs somehow confuse their subjective opinions with objective concrete facts across all genres of music. The music snob is quick to write off your taste in music, and often spout proudly a large number of "better" unknown and/or less "commercial" bands that if you had as good of taste as they did, you would already know about and love. The music snob can be found at low budget local record stores, probably arguing with a clerk about how no good bands cds are for sale. The music snob often prides themselves on their, again, self described "non-conformist" interests, and everyone else is merely a braindead product of MTV. The music snob fails to realize the definition of the word opinion: 1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal., and instead dilludes themselves into thinking that their opinions are more valid than those of anyone whos differ.
Music Snob: Oh my god, is that (insert band here), they suck, they are totally (insert bizzare music sub-genre) not real (insert music genre). If you werent such a sheep youd listen to (insert 1, to an indefinate number of obscure/unpopular bands).
Person#2: Wow you are one annoying faggot ass music snob, why dont you go choke on a dick and die while listening to (insert a likely crappy band they mentioned) you ass sucking bitch fuck.

An annoying or stubborn person whom denies any, or most, kinds of music other than Jazz. Has a self-indulgent illusion of sophistication about himself and, in particular, his tastes.
They are usually 20+ and also fluent in poetry and 'the arts', and are the first to stereotype you, or anyone, and use this against them for the remainder of the said person's life.
In general; extremely obnoxious people whom are indescribably arrogant yet impossible to get through to due to the thick layer of love for themselves they have through their 'sophisticated' yet ironically simple minded taste in music and art.
The term's origin is unknown but it has been seen popping up in lyrics for various works of music across the musical scene;
A good example being in a work by John Zorn (avant garde music) whom composed a song called 'Eat Shit Jazz Snob". The Jazz influence in his music supported the hatred of such people and the level of hypocrisy they carry with them.
(Jon has long hair and Jonathan either has rather long hair too or did so a few years ago)
Jon: "Hi" *Pulls out earphones*
Jonathan: "What was that you are listening to, some horrible uninspired heavy metal music" *Sigh*
Jon: "Some unreleased compositions by Max Ritcher actually you JAZZ SNOB!"

A wine enthusiast, particularly one who is pretentious, or self-important because of their "immense wine knowledge."
A know a guy who's a wine snob, yesterday I offered to open a bottle of Bordeaux, and he wanted to know if it was pre-2000 before he agreed to drink it with me.

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!

Somebody who works and complains about others who don't. A job snob will generally argue that non workers take all their taxes or that they are too lazy to find work, while failing to realise the current economy and lack of jobs.
Worker: "Why don't you just get a job instead of being lazy?"
Non worker: "I'm looking for work, but I can't find any, stop being such a job snob!"

Someone who thinks a band is automatically "bad" or "uncool" as soon as they recieve the tiniest bit of success. They will ignore that "successful" band and then rush to Pitchfork or some other snobby music site to find some obscure band to replace them.
Indie snobs think that Modest Mouse became uncool when "The Moon and Antarctica" was released; when "Float On" became a hit, indie snobs had ignored the band for quite a few years.
However, you aren't an indie snob if you hate Death Cab for Cutie for showing up on the OC. All you have is common sense.
