Does anybody else no longer share their interests/media tastes anymore because everyone’s an insufferable cynic now?

r/

I’ve stopped talking about stuff I’m interested in, like video games I’m excited for or movies I’m excited for, or music I enjoy, etc. Because everyone just seems like an insufferable, cynical asshole. Like everyone unironically became Stan from that one South Park episode where everyone hates hanging out with him because he thinks everything sucks.

    Luckily I don’t give a rats ass what someone thinks of my taste. If they don’t like something I’m into, then they just have no taste.

    I’m autistic so I can’t help but talk about my special interests. Most people I interact with find it refreshing as I don’t normally care to talk about regular adult things like money, politics, back pain, and desperately clinging to the nostalgia of past decades when they didn’t have said back pain

    First of all, don’t play your music for anyone unless you are the DJ. Even then, nobody’s trying to hear that shit right now. Burn me a CD or text a link.

    Almost anything that is suggested by my parents now is just terrible. If it isn’t that bad they made it worse by sharing it with me in the same room. They used to rock out and like cool shit. Movies, shows, music, games. They were pioneers of hip, 35 years ago.

    My two best friends share my taste and aesthetic and I can barely stand that bullshit.
