I see the irony in her comments, and I also agree that people take the pop stuff too far. If most people balanced out the pop-culture mania with knowing a bit more of the classical things, it would not be that bad. Most people, however, whole-heartedly embrace the pop culture and dismiss everything else. THAT I have a problem with. There are many pop culture things that I have not seen, heard or participated in. I may have over-heard others discussing it, but that’s the extent of it. I just recently bought a television, and I barely use the darn thing, and to be honest with you, I don’t see the big deal in knowing about popular culture/mainstream entertainment. It’s just entertainment, folks…Really. Also, I have a tendency in rejecting things that become too popular. For example, I was really into Harry Potter before Rowlings got uber-popular, but I completely lost interest when the mania began.

this is true- liking something just because most people dont isnt any better than liking it because people do like it- it is ok to like things that most people do as long as you dont go overboard- like drinking or games or really anything- too much of anything is bad.

Avoiding or disliking things just because they are mainstream is as stupid and liking things just because they are mainstream.

Is it me who didn’t get it, or did most of the above miss the ironic tone in the blog entry? Probably they never experienced irony before…

Just like Jerry Seinfeld when he claims that he doesn’t watch Melrose Place. But you wouldn’t know about that! *wink-wink*

This is the funniest and stupidest blog entry I’ve ever read.

you know what came to mind immediately into reading that article?
you and your buds claim such pride in not having seen a single episode of x,y, and z, and yet your “knowledge” of all the the shows out there is impeccable. so how many reality shows were you guys able to list after that fevered brainstorming session? of course you know all about things that are culturally popular and mainstream. I bet you could even tell me the general theme or about a character or two in Seinfeld, for example. What a sloppy distinction you have made. maybe you should spend less time feeling superior and read another a book or two.

I know someone who prides himself on the fact that he’s never seen a movie inside a movie theatre. He’s in his late 30s. That’s patently ridiculous. People go too far.
