One rule in life is you can't like everything. So what are some things in pop culture you just never got into? The main one for me is Jurassic Park. I've still never seen any of the JP movies all the way through. I guess its because I was 15 when it came out, and dinosaurs just didn't interest me at the time. I remember it being a huge deal, but I didn't care. Now I don't hate Jurassic Park, it just doesn't interest me except for John Williams theme which I do like. Harry Potter is another one. I have nothing against it, it just doesn't interest me. The funny part about that is I went on a date with a girl one time and we went to see the 3rd Harry Potter movie. So I barely had any idea what was going on.
So how about you guys?

Game Of Thrones. It peaked during my 2010s MCU phase, so I was distracted.

Hunger Games I guess. Literally all I know or care about it is that one Hunger Games generator where you put a bunch of characters and it kills them off day by day.

Harry Potter & Pokemon came out when I was in my last year at school and I considered them too childish. Nothing has really wavered me from that and nobody has really tried to get me into them.
Lord of the Rings or anything fantasy based like Dungeons & Dragons or Game of Thrones i’m not a massive fan of either. Never seen any of the films or any Game of Thrones episode.
Also Ed Sheeran’s popularity has baffled me for, well, 15 years at this point. Never heard anything of his I’ve liked and for some reason he’s huge. Probably because he is just an anti rock star to me. Sure he’s a nice fella but his music is deaf for me and it’s everywhere and all ‘casual music fans’ seem to love him and hold him up as a great musical talent of our time when anyone who knows anything about good music knows different. Imo anyway if you enjoy him fine just keep him to yourself! I don’t want to fly halfway across the world and still hear his stuff everywhere thanks.

harry potter, lost, breaking bad, fast & furious franchise, twilight, fifty shades of grey to name a few. Lost maybe, but definitely the others. Spongebob, Bob's Burgers, Rick and Morty, Downton Abbey, Stranger Things, probably a bunch of other streaming shows. It's been hard to get into Star Trek in general. I'll do it on and off but haven't totally. |

Was it made after Feb of 97? If so odds I'm not into it
Pokemon,pretty much any anime made after 94.
Any top 40 hit from after 94.
And with movies.... For example when the Matrix came out I had been watching Hong Kong cinema for a few years. Been reading cyberpunk fiction since about 84. So the film to me was just a rehashing of stuff I had seen many times before then.

Any post apocalyptic series such as The Walking Dead.
The World's already becoming a dump, why do I wanna watch a show that basically says things will only get worse and worse?

Pirates movies 🥱
Went on a date to see one of them. Wanted to leave not even a third of the way through. Then wished I could have fallen asleep. I did not.😔

Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Feel like I was the only one of my friends to really not get into those things. I guess I just hate wizards

Harry Potter: As this became a pop culture sensation, I was at that age where I was "too cool" for the wizards and dragons and perceived nerd culture, so I never gave it a fair chance.
Lost: My roommates were extremely into this show, to the point that Wednesday nights were absolute quiet time, where so much as a sneeze would be met with a shout of "SHUT THE F*** UP!" because they seemingly couldn't even afford to miss even a second of dialogue about airplanes or smoke monsters or whatever. I just couldn't find myself supporting that level of annoyance and irritation.
Game of Thrones: This one's rather simple, I didn't have HBO.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe: I watched "Iron Man" and thought it was okay, nothing special, and that was about it. I guess that colored my opinion on the other two dozen movies and TV shows.

Honestly, kind of everything.
I can't like anything without my father calling me a "F***ing Baby" who refuses to grow up.

Okay, before I talk about some stuff, let me just point out that I am not against trying some shows or anything like that, but when you see how popular they are and you haven't tried it, it's kind of annoying when someone asks me if I have been watching it when I haven't watched a single episode of it. With that said, I will talk about my picks.
Anime in general - I personally don't have anything against the medium as a whole. In fact, some films and shows seem interesting. Hell, a lot of the visuals are good in some anime films that I have watched, but for many nerd circles, it's almost like a requirement to be into it. That isn't to say that there aren't any anime shows or films that interest me, but there are too many out there that I am not sure if I have the time or interest to really to consume the really popular ones.
I don't dislike it, though, but I wouldn't say that I am into it, either.
RPGs - Now that I am getting into video games here, this is something that I wonder if I should actually try, but in many cases, the concept doesn't feel like it's for me. For the most part, it's usually a theme because a lot of RPGs have fantasy themes involving magic and stuff. Then I have heard that it takes a lot of time to complete. I may give some a try, but I am not sure. I don't know if I could go for a whole playthrough of a "Final Fantasy" game or anything like that. However, I do have memories of playing "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past."

I thrive on pop culture stuff like literally everything mentioned above me minus stuff like 50 Shades or Twilight. Will say I cannot get into Avatar (James Cameron) and really don't understand why there is like 5 sequels planned.

Pop culture largely passed me by decades ago. I'm old and I accept that. *goes back to listening to Slipknot*

Jurassic Park... thought it was boring.
Harry Potter... tried but couldn't get into it.
Game of Thrones... one episode was enough for me.
Pokemon... never even remotely interested.
Fifty Shades... told my gf during 2nd movie that I couldn't finish it.
Ice bucket challenge... thought it was stupid.
Goth and emo trends... nope.
