i used to base my personality around rejecting what everyone else liked in favor of more obscure, more niche, less likable stuff. but i then i grew up. and i realized that pop music is good.
My life is a feedback loop of me one day thinking Iโm too good for pop culture, and the next wondering what Troye Sivan would order at my local Chinese restaurant
this is a working thought. but some good examples are nathan for you, poor things, the recent adoption of hyperpop and brat, things that you would think are only loved and seen by the niche or the subculture but are really just part of the mainstream culture and its presence there is actually kind of confusing. how did you get here...
