    It’s fine to hate popular things, but don’t ruin other people’s fun.

    Also: don’t drunk drive.

        I think this is more for the random person that attacks people for being fans of things eg adults attacking adults because they like Legos

          I used to be the kind of person who hated anything popular. And in Texas country music has always been popular. So I mercilessly mocked anyone who enjoyed it. “So is your cousin any good in bed?” “What has 103 fingers and 32 teeth? The front row at a Garth Brooks concert.” I have dozens of jokes about being stupid, inbred, toothless, smoking cigarettes, going to Walmart, and other stereotypical things associated with being a country music fan.

          I’m still not a fan but sometime in the last 10-12 years or so I stopped giving a shit what anyone else liked. If it’s not for me but it’s not hurting anyone I just don’t care if someone likes country or pop, movies with popular actors, wants to dress in a way I see as weird, likes food that I don’t enjoy, or whatever.

          I wish I could go back and change it because I know I made some people feel bad for enjoying what they like.

          Edit: fixed a word.
