Yeah and are there really that many people who fit this description?

I'm getting a whiff of defensive elitism from some fans of the current H!P towards those who see it as being inferior to the Golden Age. No one is saying that you can't be a fan of today's H!P. I'm seeing what can only be called projection on the part of some when they essentially accuse old-schoolers of not realizing that their opinions are subjective, when none of them are actually suggesting that at all. Furthermore, it is not the old-schoolers who make pronouncements like "Everyone who got into H!P in the "golden age" who disparage the current generation of idols are just clouded with nostalgia. The overall quality has essentially been the same" right after telling us that opinions are subjective.

Here's how it works, objectively. When someone says that the Golden Age pwns the new school, they are not saying that people should not be allowed to enjoy the new school, or that you are a bad or inferior person for liking it. They are stating their opinion. They don't need anyone reminding them that it is just their opinion. They already know that. When you say "Hey man, you can't objectively say that one era is better than the other, both eras are pretty much the same" you are just stating your opinion. You can't objectively say that both eras are equal in quality of music or production.
