Morphology

rockcist = rockist (semi-transparent) = rock + cist

Formed on the recognisable base 'rockist' (rock + -ist) but the surface form copies the pattern of 'racist' (inserting 'c'), an irregular analogical change that may not be fully transparent to learners.

Etymology

The word rockcist comes from joining rock and the ending -cist, like in racist which means 'prejudiced'. It describes someone or something that unfairly dislikes certain music genres while favoring rock.
