You haven't met pretentious enough snobs, then.

There's an entire subculture where things aren't cool, it's hating things that are cool that is cool. The cooler the thing you hate, obviously the more cool you are. It's unspoken, obviously, that anything that isn't cool is also hated but why deign to even mention that?
Radiohead and, in particular, The Beatles, are popular enough that there are vast swaths of people that are going to hate them.
I've known people that like bands until the minute ANYONE else mentions them. Don't think I'm exaggerating.
