And I'm only half kidding. My job is quite solo, so I don't have coworkers (mostly a blessing), I don't have many friends, and my family is kind of weird like me. So it only comes up rarely, but yes, I do confuse people when they realize I just don't engage in any of the mainstream entertainment they do. I think normies confuse me even more than I confuse them though.
Weird thing is, when it's the normies in my family. Generally the ones I'm not super close to. When they want to talk at length about some trending TV show I've never seen, or sometimes even heard of. Like, random normies I can sort of understand. If it's my own family just being so different, it is a little weird.
How 'bout that Squid Games? How 'bout that Game of Thrones? Tiger King is wild, man!
Hurr durr hurr Big Bang Theory did you see that episode that's aired for the 100th time? Yeah this is one of the reasons I couldn't gel with a lot of people even my own age, pop music fucking especially.
Here in the UK it's a big thing to listen to BBC Radio 1 apparently and as you'd expect it's zoomer/millennial leftist cancer on steroids with shitty music that people listen to on repeat for the millionth time while some BBC presenter inevitably spergs out on whatever current thing monologue they've got going for them that particular day. Glastonbury festival is something that's hugely hyped up by left wing people and it's where the upper/middle class lefties all go to party out to pop music etc. and stay in a muddy field with a giant wall around it.
I'm not even somebody who cares about music but it's like my rants about how Hollywood always puts shitty rap music even over genres it doesn't really belong these days. I have my own preferences but people just listen to the exact same crap day in an day out on repeat which is why I often rant about how they need to get some fucking hobbies.
I don't interact with normies.
