Every day people talk about pop culture, whether its movies, comics or more mundane stuff, like celebrities and music. Yet something I’ve noticed is how often people in general, regardless of how we classify them, tend to say “X thing sucks!” without ever having experienced it in full.
Sometimes my friends stumble into material in my search
histories, physical and digital libraries that makes them question my taste. They
rarely believe it’s for research purposes. Then again, I don’t tend to explain
my research either, so it doesn’t help. Yet as a believer in the “I’ll respect
your opinion on this if you tell me exactly why you hate it” philosophy, I feel
it’s my duty to find out why something is popular or hated.
