They're too short! They need to stand taller if talking that way.

Dictionary meaning: the belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources. Exists in all organizations, businesses, interest groups, etc... the entertainment industry is high on the list. I'll take an individual over a groupie any day.  John

I'm not an elitist, I'm just better than most. Not because I say so, but because it's true. Trust me. I'm not an elitist. *BONK!*

"Rob the Knob"
I finally realized what the line at the end of the second chorus said.
I'm celebrating with a thread dedicated to elitists.

We admire the elite, but we despise elitism. That's humans in a nutshell!

Elitists are the victims of their own elitism.
They look down on "The Undeserving Rest," and those "Rest" look down on elitists.
Full circle.
Crazy how that happens.

Have you ever met a monster with thick rim glasses that wasn't friendly?

What's scary is that we are all average or better. I would think being average would necessitate being unique since average is a calculated “center” of everyone that exists. We're probably all better or worse than average. Now that's scary. John

I think most songwriters are a cut above the average person.

I think that ordinary, decent people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are sick and tired. I'm CERTAINLY not. And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.
Stevie
I'm the only person here who is not unique.

Funny thing about knowing something that other folks don't:
Once you share with those other folks, they know it too.
Hmmm...

I think most songwriters are a cut above the average person. Yeah, and dancers are a step above. Carpenters are a level or two higher....

What you really should be asking is "how many elitists can we fit on a pedestal?"
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
