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...
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.
cool article analyzing the framing of brat summer as a balm to the widespread acceptance of bedrotting and the impacts of being young and inside all the time. the author also touches on the "push-pull" internet dynamics, contrasting today's internet with the fandom spaces (fanfiction.net, tumblr, etc.) of yesteryear. very quick read!
yeah so iβm listening to tiktok hits and not a bad band with 0 production value with 200 monthly listeners sue me sometimes things are popular for a reason the real counter culture thing to do is follow your heart and sometimes your heart is generic pop music, chipotle, and the occasional marvel movie
