I know it’s dumb and I’m not trying to be the gatekeeper here, but I enjoy liking unpopular things. They make me feel comfortable, like I have a space for me in the world. When some of these things get popular it’s not that I start disliking them, but they lose their enchant to me. I won’t tell ppl “oh don’t listen to that” or stop showing them things, but sometimes I just want That Thing to be a me thing. I want to feel special some way.
