Again, negative side - a good deal of snobs too. That includes the vintage trend snobbery.

Interesting point of view of BN...
I actually wish there was more vintage fragrance discussion on the Male Fragrance Discussion forum there. Right now in my experience it is "all Aventus, all the time" to my great chagrin. Folks have absolutely no idea what they are missing with the classics and that really is disheartening.
I enjoy the current releases and the vintages, but to me it is anything but vintage snobbery on BN nowadays, more in favor of misguided (IMO) Creed snobbery instead. The vintage versions of the classics very frequently smell completely different than their current counterparts due mainly to IFRA restrictions among other things, and I am a firm believer they need to be sought out by folks to get a good foundation for what they are smelling with the current versions of those classics. No snobbery here, just the sad reality of what is happening on the ground in the business.
That said, it is always good to hear differing view points and I will have to look harder for those instances of vintage snobbery you are seeing.
