disdainer
One who sneers
A disdainer is someone who treats things or people with contempt or scorn.
The word implies habitual dismissiveness rather than a single instance: a disdainer of popular culture, a disdainer of authority.
It's uncommon but sometimes useful when describing someone defined by what they look down upon.
