For many years now I've refused to use the word "audiophile" to describe myself even though I've been active in the hobby for almost 50 years, including stints as a stereo store manager and a concert sound engineer back in the 70s and fixing/building equipment for almost the whole span.
I find the word too closely associated with pretentious behavior that often runs to downright silliness.
I just tell people I love music and enjoy good sound.
