I don't actually consider myself a rock snob, since most of the bands I like are actually adored by many people - just not many of my close friends.
However, given the ridicule that I've endured about my obsessive nature, I do identify somewhat with the characters in High Fidelity, which is mentioned in this article. I also have come to resent others being able to just download music that cost me hundreds of dollars.
I'm one of those people who enjoy collecting music in its tangible forms, complete with the artwork, liner notes, et cetera - so this speaks to me. Enjoy.

most depressing article ever.
bands can still hold sacred meaning to you, despite mass replication through friends, others' computers, and so forth....Buying a CD, vinyl is a personal choice. But I wouldn't go so far to say it is wrong to burn CDs, download, etc....
