Snobberi

Snobberi refers to the behavior or attitude of a snob. A snob is a person who disdains or belittles people they consider to be of lower social class, status, or education. This attitude often manifests as a sense of superiority and a tendency to judge others based on superficial criteria such as wealth, possessions, or perceived cultural refinement. Snobbery can be directed towards various aspects of life, including tastes in art, music, literature, food, fashion, and even accent or speech patterns. The term is often associated with pretentiousness and an excessive emphasis on social standing. While snobbery is generally viewed negatively, the motivations behind it can be complex, sometimes stemming from insecurity or a desire for social acceptance. The concept of snobbery has been explored in literature and sociology as a way to understand social dynamics and class distinctions. It implies a hierarchical view of society where certain individuals or groups consider themselves inherently more worthy or refined than others. This can lead to exclusionary behaviors and a perpetuation of social divides.
