You say that quite a bit, "I'm not _____ just to be _____." Odd.
If you were a musician of "unoriginal music" yet it was more about playing, then perhaps that is what it's about for the bands you previously degraded? It just seems that you are assuming these bands are all corporate fodder. Which, I'm sure, some are, but it's not fair to assume.
The "music guru" thing was because you take on that matter-of-fact tone when stating your opinions.
I did read what you wrote. Perhaps the miscommunication lies in how you wrote it. ;p
As someone who obviously holds music to a high regard, you should understand how someone would be offended when you insult bands they like, especially bands of friends they support (i.e. Elseworth Dragon).
Holding your own taste in high regard is one thing, thinking it is the best and only choice is another.
It made not sense? Hmm..well, it made sense to me. Ah well.
Again, you're assuming that your musical background qualifies you as an "expert". I grew up with music as well. I am passionate about music. Doesn't mean I am any more qualified than Joe Schmoe. Perhaps you have an educated opinion, but that's just what it is, an opinion.
I wonder what the rest of your comment said. Guess we'll never know, eh? >;
