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.

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.
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.

Man, I like some pretty retarded shit man, but I've never been bullied for it, man

Star Wars
This happened to all the ols school Star Wars fans. Disney created the "idiot fans"
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.

I am an avid collector and drinker of Chinese teas, particularly oolongs and puerh. I had been drinking them for years when suddenly the absolute asshole Dr. Oz went on TV claiming that puerh tea was some magical cure for anything and everything that you might have.
Normally, I get excited for new people to share tea with, but this fad caused prices to rise across the board and caused the market to get flooded with awful quality tea. These people were drinking some of the worst quality (fishy, shou/cooked puerh) teas and were more obsessed with how to mask the flavors with milk and sugar than actually slowing down and enjoying the tea.
The fad faded and people went back to putting matcha in their morning milkshakes. Even so, I still run into people that reflexively associate incredible tea with Dr. Oz and the disgusting teas he foisted upon his audience. Sad.

I feel with you but I think it also brought some benefits. Finding time to meet up with my friends has become harder and harder with everyone growing up, studying, getting jobs.
The influx of people during covid catapulted the virtual tabletop solutions ahead and now we regularly play again using foundry vtt since everyone can just sit at home.
But yeah, online everyone just talks about DnD or Critical Roll it feels like and unless you're on reddit there's very few communities left.

I spent a lot of time on computers (shocker, right?) and that was seen as nerdy and weird when I was at school. Even after I got my first real job, I remember my girlfriend dismissing things I'd say because "nobody cares about your stupid internet". Predictable rest of comment is predictable.
Good God, this one hits home for me. “He’s always in his room on his cuhpyooter.” “He’s a hacker, he’s a nerd.” Ummm, no. I’m just pretending to be a girl and swapping tit pics with other dudes who are pretending to be girls and playing video games. Y’all living in the stone age with your magazines and your Nintendo. I’m in my room with every Nintendo game ever made and a new pair of tits to look at anytime I want.
Now half of those people are fumbling around and giving scammers 200 dollars, constantly glued to their little 30 dollar smart phones and “playing on Facebook”. And of course, they be calling me to ask how to find an app they got from the play store. “It used to just go on the screen I swear.”

Computer games. Anything that can be monetized will turn into shit.
Yes. Man.
I miss when you could look forward to new games at all times.
Now I just play old games over and over. I’ve beat Super Metroid like 8 times this year.

immediately where my mind went.
From "haha, raspberriesareyummy will marry his computer one day" to most everyone around me constantly staring at their whatsapp, tiktok or "talking" with siri/alexa.
Fuck this shit
Oh god I heard that constantly as a kid. Gah. Now they’re all married to Facebook and don’t know how to use it. Oh well.

Maybe not as big as Anon is talking about, but Bob Vylan.
I just heard this name for the first time yesterday. I have no idea what it is, but I was really upset that I didn’t think of that name.

Not to that extent, but crypto. I think its an amazing and really interesting technology. But now it's tainted by scammers and when people hear the term, they get defensive because they are ready for you to scam them

Star Wars
This happened to all the ols school Star Wars fans. Disney created the "idiot fans"
Yup. Was a huge fan of the EU books and lore. Wanted to give Disney a chance, so I saw the first few movies. It was like seeing your ex at the club but she'd gone through massive amounts of plastic surgery and they'd removed all the unique features that attracted you originally. Haven't watched anything Star Wars since the second movie in the new trilogy, literally 0 desire to see the conclusion or any new Star wars content.

Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, but at least it's an ethos

I keep getting people telling me they won't watch Andor because of the other slop and it makes me sad

I thought the force awakens was pretty decent. I mean it's literally just a new hope redux.

Bite your tongue. Like a lot of things from the past, they need to be viewed in context
