   • 2005 November 2, Leander Kahney, “The Cult of iPod”, in Playlist:

     This has lead ^[sic] to a new kind of music snobbery called playlistism. Music snobs amuse themselves by laughing at a colleague's collection of showtunes, or the hopelessly pretentious jazz of the goatee-ed guy at the other end of the dorm.
