having gaps in your media consumption and being honest about it

omg you haven’t seen that film? you haven’t heard that music? you haven’t read that book? THAT’S NORMAL!!!! i feel like there is so much social pressure to consume whatever media makes you niche and unique and cultured and i’m OVER IT. it’s normal to have not seen every cool movie or show on the planet or heard every album to ever exist. consuming media is something that should be enjoyable and happen gradually over time, not something you force to meet arbitrary cool person standards. i’m so done with feel a social obligation to consume certain things. i’ll get to it when i get to it! let me have my taste, im okay with not knowing everything!

I love when people assume I‘ve seen something because it’s “on brand” for me and end up shocked and appalled. sorry I like sci-fi and have purposely avoided the star wars movies 🫡

INDULGING in things even if you are not a mega fan of it

I don’t kneed to know all the lore or details about said thing to like it. I don’t know how many kids the author has, or where the show originated from. Let me just digest my media on a basic fan level. I can enjoy things without knowing everything about it!!!

NOT BEING PURPOSEFUL ABOUT THE MEDIA YOU CONSUME 24/7

i always see tons of recs on here to consume media more purposefully and consume more intellectual media, and i am the biggest advocate of purposeful consumption but sometimes i just wanna watch mild brainrot content and not feel bad about it. it's ok to not be intellectual at all times!!! sometimes the purpose can be just pure entertainment sincerely someone who has quite pretentious tastes usually and has 2 masters degrees about pretentious subjects 🫶🏻

Liking popular music

It’s ok to be “basic” sometimes. Popular album, songs, and artists are popular for a reason!!! I’m kinda over the whole social judgment of liking very popular stuff. The desperate need to have individually and uniqueness is so exhausting to see, sometimes you can just like stuff because you like it!! Let people like things!!!!
