Morphology

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

Based on the existing coinage 'rockist' (rock + -ist) but altered to echo 'racist' in form; the meaning (a prejudiced person) is clear but the formation is analogical and non-standard.

Etymology

A rockcist is a person whose taste unfairly favors rock over other styles; the word joins rock and -cist, like in racist which means 'prejudiced'. So a rockcist is someone accused of being biased against pop, hip-hop, or other music because they prefer rock.
