How is that relevant? I'm merely pointing out how his generalization is illogical.

I'm merely pointing out how his generalization is illogical.You asked him why you'd hypothetically use obscure bands to feed your ego, which is asking why contrarianism is popular in the first place.Of course his generalisation is illogical, it's SecondClass. What's even funnier is that he prides himself on being some judgeless martyr, but that's less relevant.
