Why is elitism in music communities so prevalent?

Why do people become annoyed and threatened when a band or artist they enjoy becomes more popular? What causes this mindset?

Because your taste is shit and we are a patrician institution of the finest musical minds in the Western world

>Western world
>ignoring the contributions the Eastern world provided to the artistic medium of music

Go listen to fucking Radiohead you normie

Insecurity.

>likes weeb shit

Its not just music. It's art in general.

Musicians can change when they're more popular. Generally, people have a shit taste in music (and no, this is not a "I have a superior taste is music and plebs are plebs" rant... Look at Eminem's album revival be at #1 on the billboard charts. Look at the placement of bodak yellow and all the awards it has won, look at Gucci Gang, and so on and so forth). And often times, when those people start liking a decent artist, oh man they'll fuck everything up and the artist turns to shit.
