Already, do not gloss over the origins, the etymology of the word “snob”, rehashed, rehashed by all those who take themselves for Monique Pinçon-Charlot, the Rosa Luxemburg of the rich and the nobles appointed by the CNRS. No, looking for where it came from is out of the question, coco. In fact, to be frank, the word “snob” is old-fashioned, downgraded, almost dodgy. Being a snob, calling yourself a snob and letting yourself be called a snob, it smells like a song by Boris Vian. Yes, I'm snoooob, voluntarist status considered as a pest microbe.
Being a snob in 2015? A real suppository. At first it gets stuck but it should pass. Question of fingering. And distance: true snobs will always be one or two ahead.

The snob is alive and well, lurking in the shade of the arcades of the Palais Royal and ready to get back to work.

Thus, in bulk, at random and without hierarchy, gourmet coffee – we can't take it anymore, bearded hipsters – we don't want any more, badly cut diarrhea-colored pants worn by pseudo no-gluten – a real plague , or even girls wearing Jonak, a veritable endemic scourge.
Being a snob in 2015? Never has a question been so stupid. It is however obvious: to be a snob, it is enough just to do the exact opposite of what the others do. Work, for example. Or read a real book in bed at night before sleeping. Or go close when everyone else goes far. See, it's not very complicated. Well, yes, because it takes a lot of strength of character to live backwards and turn the pages of a printed book with sentences in it.
