The Snob's Dictionary

April 14, 2024

The Snob's Dictionary is a series of books by Vanity Fair contributing writer David Kamp[1][2] that gently satirizes snobbery (cinephilia (Film Snob),[3][4][5] rock music (Rock Snob),[6] winery (Wine Snob) [7] and fine cuisine (Food Snob)[8][9][10]) which soon became a video series with some episodes narrated by actor Judah Friedlander.[11]

Summary edit

An inside look into cultural snobs whose knowledge of the said subjects are more important than enjoying them.[12][13][14][15][16]

Examples edit

  • Jonas Mekas: "Lithuanian-born, New York-based overlord of avant-garde film"[17]
  • Jangle: "Critic-beloved noun-adjective used to evoke sunny guitar pop"[18]
  • Harlan Estate: "Ultimate cult winery, located in Napa and founded by real-estate developer and snob manipulator Bill Harlan"[19]
  • Geoduck: "Giant saltwater clam with alarmingly phallic siphon that hangs, John Holmes-like, out of its open shell"[20]
  • Hammer Films: "British production company that, in its factory-like production of blood-soaked, décolletage-heavy horror flicks from the 50s to the 70s, was an overseas cousin to the United States AIP, only with a better roster of actors.[17]
  • Badfinger: "Ill-started power pop quartet signed to the Beatles' Apple Records under the aegis of mentor Paul McCartney, who saw them as the heirs to his rupturing group--a patently flawed premise nevertheless embraced today by Revisionist Snobs."[16]
  • Lester Bangs: "Dead rock critic canonized for his willfully obnoxious, amphetamine-streaked prose."[16]
