Message: <blockquote data-quote="Asmor" data-source="post: 1553930" data-attributes="member: 1154">Quite true. I know growing up I found myself (and still do to an extent) disliking popular things I'd never even tried simply because they were popular, and trying and enjoying unpopular things (which I genuinely enjoyed, but probably would never have tried if they had been popular). I think it was from being brainwashed that I should be an individual and thinking the vast majority of people are losers, but in the end, I realized that regardless of whether I liked what everyone else liked or disliked what everyone else liked, I was still letting everyone else dictate my interests.I try (keyword: try) to be a bit more open minded to the popular now as well as the unpopular, but there's still a conditioned kneejerk "it sucks" response to anything that becomes too popular too quickly.</blockquote>
