Yeah, dead on m8 - if you have to think 'is this percieved as intelligent?' when you listen, you're being extremely pretentious. Just like what you like and don't worry about other people like (or don't like).

I have a few friends who are into house music and I know that they constantly look down their noses at me for playing what I play. It doesn't bother me, it really doesn't. Personally I can listen to house music and like some of it because I don't judge it on how I think others like it. They would never dream of listening to hardstyle, and I find that quite sad.
