I'll be honest with you, I thought this was satire before I read the next line.

That's fine, maybe you don't care about being able to differentiate between the stuff you listen to, a lot of us do.

The word “fan” has become really watered down over time. Didn’t it used to be short for “fanatic”? If someone isn’t deeply familiar with the landscape of a genre, then it seems logical to say they aren’t a fanatic.

It may just come down to whether one uses the watered down meaning of “fan” or the original.
