Now why must these legitimate music terms be called pretentious? I suppose opera fans are perceived as pretentious and perhaps rightly so in some cases, but I don't think of myself as pretentious simply because I take tremendous delight in the splendid pulchritudinous virtuosity of coloratura ornamentation?
