Ratatat. I got into them through an Albino Blacksheep video, and they were my secret favourite band for a bit.
Then they got popular, and people that I didn't really jell with started casually raving about them, and I found it difficult to enjoy the music because of those people.
Years later, I grew up. Music is for everyone, and everyone forms their own relationship with it that shouldnt impact the enjoyment of the music itself.
Yes, they were sold on the band through mass advertizing channels. Yes, I discovered them through a more organic means. But that's how fans are born, and yes some of them aren't there for the music, but they are there to have a good time and maybe those songs hold special memories for them later in life when they were hanging around with friends.
Oooo I saw Ratatat the first time I got high on weed in public. They were incredible! I didn’t realize they got popular!

I remember that damn ad on TV back in in 2009. It was for SakuraCon, a annual Anime convention in Seattle.
I went there once with a group of friends. Made anime look uncool very fast.

if so then name your thing
Sort of I guess: em dashes.
Not to talk about, but to use when writing.
Now they are apparently the hallmark of AI-generated crap.I just got into them and I'll be damned if I'll let some toaster ruin a perfectly beautiful bit of punctuation
-
Same. I learned this was a thing just the other day.
I don't use them often but do find them nicer for parenthetical remarks sometimes.
Me too—sometimes

Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!
(Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key
I set my caps lock key to the Compose Key (ck), and it changed the game for me:
- — is ck then "---"
- é is ck then "e" followed by '
- ° is ck then double "o"
- ½ is ck then "1" followed by "2"
I'm sure there's many more combinations, but honestly, I never intentionally used CAPS LOCK for anything.

Alt-codes are for nerds
- 60% gang
I really think more text formatting should do as mobile devices do and just auto convert two hyphens into an em dash. Make it simple, i beg.

The fact most people have now heard of it proves its popularity. It was a pretty obscure movie before the Hunger Games.

Tabletop RPG.
It used to be a niche of the internet in the early days, with people posting here and there their scenarios, campaign, ideas etc. It was hard to find and so pleasurable when you found something.Nowadays it's trusted by ... Wizard if the coast ? Online only platforms and what have you.
I loved #scenariotheque, but now it's almost a ghost website (pardon the french).
I know if sounds like old man yell at clouds, but damn do I miss the early days.

I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.

Totally punk, you know what isn't? being an elitist about a music genres, specially punk
Idk if that's elitism. It's more calling a spade a spade. Punk at its core is about recapturing the simplicity and energy of early pre-british invasion rock. That doesn't really lend itself to ballads and concept albums. It's not about denigrating green day so much as finding a definition that fits them better.

All of the more recent Star Wars slop has made me realize that the original films aren't really that good either.

Nazi ideology, OP OP. There was a nice little thing we had once, until you cunts took it up like a hoard of malignant nihilist pussies
Now we can't even bring up the Third Reich's many incredible qualities in conversation without someone rolling their eyes! n-chan numpties ruin every fandom./ss

I hate that I'm writing this because I'm gonna sound like the *"to be fair * copy pasta but, the fact that it's so lame and stupid is kind of the whole point of the bit.
He gives his big "I'm pickle Riiiiick!" presentation like it's supposed to be some big huge awesome thing, and it's presented like a punchline that you're supposed to laugh at and find funny... Then it's a hard cut to Morty's disappointed, slightly concerned face for a solid 10 seconds. Morty is you, the viewer, painfully unimpressed by what is presented as, well, "the funniest shit ever".
Remember in an earlier episode when Rick makes a reference to the non-existent Redgren Grumblholdt, and the kids laugh because they think it's supposed to be funny and just want to fit in? Those are the people that the "funniest shit ever" meme is about. People that are fed an intentionally bad joke, don't understand the irony behind the bad joke, but sees that everyone else is laughing at the bad joke, so they pretend the joke is funny. Two people laughing at the same thing for entirely different reasons.
The whole Pickle Rick plotline is just background events anyways. The meat and potatoes of the episode is with Dr Wong.
When this pickle rick stuff went down, I felt like I was taking crazy pills.

I was a goth in my youth and they were among the more controversial bands. They could be just edge lords or Nazis. The guys that listened to them turned out to be Nazis, so there's that.
They could be just edge lords or Nazis.
I refuse to make a distinction anymore. If you "joke" about being a Nazi, you're a Nazi.
