Okay, these are not opinions. These are statements of fact.

If you had simply said "I don't like EDM. I prefer <insert genre>" we wouldn't even be having this conversation because you're certainly entitled to like what you like. But coming out and saying "My music is better than YOUR music" just makes you sound like an elitist snob. And there is nothing I hate more than elitist snobs because they think their world is better than everybody else's.

If everybody in this world was like you, I'd stay in the house and never associate with anybody.

You are putting words into my mouth. Where did I say that?

Here it is again. Your exact words.

Of course I consider my taste of music better than that of people who like EDM or that loud, angry music below

Translation: My music is better than your (EDM) music.

Pretty clear to me.

- "I consider" makes it clear it is my opinion and not claiming a fact
- I didn't say anything about my music, but my taste of music

That is the problem, you don't read carefully. Don't ever work as a translator, you would fail miserably.

When I say "my music" I mean the music that you like. As far as I know, you don't even make your own music, or so you say. I certainly never heard any of it.

And you're still an elitist and a snob.

[fluffy_little_something]

I only have lots of shorter pieces (up to one minute or so), no complete songs as I don't have lyrics, nor a singer, but don't want to make instrumental music

Me an elitist or snob?! No idea what gives you that idea...
In the world of music most elitists and snobs are fans of classical music or Jazz (the two genres often considered the most sophisticated ones), neither one of which I like (although there is some Smooth Jazz I like), and outside the world of music I am the regular opposite of elitist or snobbish, I side with underdogs, the lower and working class, etc.

Calm down, no need to provoke him.

Yet you say the music YOU like is BETTER than that EDM crap.

To me, that makes you an elitist and a snob.

You can call it whatever you want.

[fluffy_little_something]

Why? Almost all people I know dislike EDM, but they are hardly elitists or snobs, after all my mom for instance likes Celine Dion, my father Bavarian folklore music
The despise for EDM might simply be age-related...
