I've spent my entire life in a cultural wasteland, and it fucked me up to the point that whenever I hear someone has the same media taste as me I think it must be destiny or true love or some shit. Turns out that a lot of people like Weird Al, a lot of people like Little Shop of Horrors and the original Muppet Movie, a lot of people like Douglas Adams and Max Brooks and Andy Weir, I just don't live near any of them. Just because somebody likes something I like doesn't mean it's "meant to be," or that we have anything in common, or that we'd even get along! There's more to relationships than recognizing titles.
"No way, I like that too!" Yeah, eeryone does. Grow a personality.
#not everyone lives in a tourist trap surrounded by middle-aged alcoholic republican millionaires#not every radio station plays the same hundred classic rock and 80s pop hits over and over and over#there's more to bond over than 'we're both five degrees outside the boomer sanctioned norm'#being 'weird' is mainstream#it's not even really all that weird#i'm just starved for socialization because nobody my age lives within 100 miles#love#friendship#socialization#socializing#media#cultural wasteland#i need to get out more
