I am obnoxiously contrarian so this is pretty much my MO. I always feel out of the loop with popular shows and movies but it doesn't bug me too much.
I do this too! But I also found that one of the most fun parts of enjoying some things like movies or TV has been getting into it at the same time that other people are talking about it/making fanart of it/generally open to discussing it as an item of interest. Watching Succession at the same time as everyone else was so different for me than watching Mad Men years after it had come out
hannahla I agree. I also watched succession at the same time as everyone else and it was fun to talk about it, but I think it really depends on the show and the audience. If people are too obnoxious about something it really turns me off.
i feel like i explain this exact feeling to someone everytime something new starts trendingš like i physically canāt enjoy it until everyone else moves on
i feel like the kind of hype youāre talking about is what ruined my experience with The Substance, i was so disappointed when i saw it, i mean itās good but the hype set my expectations too high
for me itās like, yall hype it up so much but like im scared of watching or listening and then itās gonna be MID, the utter disa and then everyone turning back on your for not liking, I just be waiting till the hype dies, if itās really good there will still be a fandom for it, if it was mid like I feared then people wonāt ever remember or care
I do this too. I remember when Frozen came out, I vehemently chose to not watch it. Watched the first 30 minutes of it last year, and for a kids movie it wasnāt bad
i'm the same. i'm always consuming media after the hype of it has died down. something about it being discussed so much puts me off it idk. but when i finally get to it i understand the hype hahah
