I have come to the conclusion that I am a rockist.

I guess what I was trying to say and probably COULD have said much more succinctly was that "rockist" seems like such an onerous term, something akin to "fascist" these days, where it is vague enough and the original meaning broadened and deepened enough that you (not you personally, of course) can use it as a catch-all to describe anyone who you don't get along with; the question might have been better worded as, "if it's such an odious term then why as a music lover who considers himself basically open-minded and unprejudiced do I find it such a reasonable stance to take?"
HOWEVER. I don't feel any need to continue this post; I am still troubled by this, but that is, so I hear, perfectly normal, and possibly something I cannot resolve simply through the magic of the internet (ridiculous, I know).

Also, the thread title was just to get attention; I'm not really so naive as to be able to say something like that and believe it for more than about seventeen seconds.

As a postscript, the second "too" in the first sentence should have been a "two."
