I think that attitude is in direct positive correlation to pretentiousness of the poster. In reality the people condeming would probably condemn many other places under different names that play different music (of course as long as its not the music/crowd of their liking
). This is really a case of different strokes for different folks. In Calgary, Cowboys is the premier club/bar as far as patronage, noteriety, and most likely dollars raked in due to corporate stampede parties. That in of itself has created a counter-culture of hatred towards it specifically from people who don't really find that place to be their scene. Fair enough. If you like top 40 music mixed in with a little line-dancing country and don't mind a typically 18-30 "Abercrombie and Fitchlike" crowd then by all means go to Cowboys, you won't have a bad time.
