I assume everyone did once think that: you love one band (for exemple Rammstein when they were on Herzeleid) and then it became famous, everybody talk about it and you feel like your admiration for the band were somehow "wasted" by the huge among of newbies. And then you think that the music grows always cheesier and commercial, even accuse the band to be "pop metal" (I read it in the Dimmu Borgir thread).

Take Dimmu Borgir for instance, if it was an underground band, the critics wouldn't be so hard, it would be considered as a great band, but the simple fact that they are "popular" seems to make them cheesy, because a little inner voice tell you "you have to be cheesy to please the crowd".

Are there some true elements in this way of thinking, or is it pure "metal hype attitude", a kind of snobism that make us believe that the aristocraty of taste is reserved to the few?
