I acknowledge that I was once like this. Then I tried to read a cookbook and it started with the author getting equally outraged about how people would rather go out to eat or microwave an easy meal then prepare something of their own.
The important thing to note is that another person's interst in pop is most likely not linked to a belief that pop music is superior, just as my choice to wear a tee shirt and jeans today does not imply that I find it more fashionable than what other people wear. Metal is pretty obscure and you won't easily find metal on any mainstream source that doesn't play up the negative stereotype most people give it, so I consider it best to assume other people just had other things they'd rather invest their time and research into.
