Some desperately saturate the inner emptiness with pseudo-elitarianism, and then shine with “their” cultural preferences to the public. And the main sign of this frustration is precisely demonstrativeness, snobbish distance from unpretentious people with ordinary requests. Therefore, when discussing a deliberately unusual, obviously pretentious work, you hear an arrogant hiss - "Did you look carefully / listen / read?" or "Not everyone understands!" - remember that most likely you are dealing not with a fastidious aesthete, but with deep provincialism and complexity.
