I also hate when people think they're on some higher plane of existence just for having gobbled up every fact about a few bands that happen to be from Sweden or whatever description one could insert.
Usually when I meet someone who likes CC, it's because they don't know of the plethora of amazing shit out there, but if someone happens to be fairly well versed in the extreme metal scene already and happens to like CC just because they like CC, that's different.
My guilty pleasure is Slipknot. Which is often met with, "that's not real metal!!!" to which I reply with, "Uhhh never said it was, I just happen to like it metal or not." Or, I'll I get the usual "just kill yourself if you like that shit" to which I reply with, "thank you for voiding any reason I should take you seriously from now on".
Levelengine, click on the link in my second to last post that says, "Blotted Science". For some reason, I feel as though it may fit your tastes.
I can see where you're coming from, I just never considered CC as entry level. When I hear entry level I think of the 'middle school metal' bands (Alien ant farm, papa Roach, Linkin park, etc).
Also slipknot is killer, especially their 96-00 era.
