u know that whole "theres a whole world out there we're unaware of" thing that usually gets applied to like, unheard of network tv shows, the zynternet, suburban family trends, etc? thats how i feel when i hear about like, in person events or whatever via some random reel, like showing some massive hyper specific event with like hundreds of people doing some activity or at some place w zero context or explanation, seemingly in america just like me, that i have never seen or heard of in my life. like where did this come from? was this always a thing? is this a thing that only popped up in the last 3 years like a lot of weird specific trends? im not judging im just confused 😭

#like i just saw a reel of what seemed to be a rollerskate? dance battle? rave??? festival? with like. hundreds of atendees #and a specific term used to describe them that ive never seen or heard before #or there was some college party festival thing i saw vids of last yearish where everyone was wearing fringed pants and there were like 100's #of ppl dancing outside a gas station??????#but i do expect that w college sport culture somewhat #or when someone brings up a restaurant/club as if everyone had heard of it #idk if this stuff has always been a thing and social media just illuminated it more #or its just stuff u find out about as an adult and the whole time ive been an adult theres been a lot of bullshit going on #OR if its rly stuff that popped up post covid whrre ppl were trying to come up with events #like im pretty sure those massive interactive art events are a new thing #or the meow wolf stuff #selfie museums are also new but not post covid #but like idk ive heard of those things #its kinda like #yknow that video of all the cybergoths dancing under that bridge????#that was like an expected amount of people for that imo #its like theres anime convention level events happening for niche hobbies #i think in theory its cool im always just confused and apprehensive when ppl bring up stuff as if its a given #w absolutely zero preambe #*preamble #which isnt anyones fault except my own for having autistic childhood trauma based insecurities #this is me working out in real time why these things throw me for a loop #OR the very real knowledge that a lot of people are desperate to become influencers & grifters and sell u bullshit #and catering to a hyper specific market is one way to do that #anyway do u know what i mean or was this always a thing and these r just the ramblings of an insane person
