I get it, that was me in the 90s and 00s. I missed a lot of cool stuff because of it.
Can you think of the coolest thing that you found out about later that you’d dismissed while it was popular?
I can’t think of something I actively talked down, but I remember watching Star Trek (TNG) for the first time in my mid thirties (about four years ago) and thinking, “Boy, if I’d known about this while it was on, I’d probably have been obsessed with it.”
Maybe not the coolest because honestly I hated almost anything popular or mainstream, especially if it was aimed at women, but one I absolutely fell in love with was Event Horizon. I love horror. I love scifi. You’d think that would have been a no-brainer.
Here’s the most embarrassing one. I met Bowling for Soup at a Chili’s in 1998 and really enjoyed their music until they were nominated for a Grammy. I immediately stopped listening. I denied having liked them. Then a couple of years later I laughed at how stupid I was and enjoyed them again.
