Like literally all they care about is the newest movies or video games coming out.

      Because occasionally one must tolerate things that are not in our circle of enjoyment? Friends, companions, acquaintances, coworkers or whatever reason they happen to be in your social circle…

      I have a couple friends that i get along with perfectly other than the fact that they are Swifties. Im not going to not be friends with them despite how often they talk about the tortured poets lament or whatever the fuck its called.

        Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, what's OPs problem with normies? Join a fantasy football league or some shit.

          I don’t understand. If you think joining a fantasy football league is the solution, then what do you think is the problem?

            then what do you think is the problem?

            OP wants to lead the revolution and be Lenin and is upset people are listening to Post Malone instead of organizing

    I am jealous of those people in some ways. They're probably much happier than I am.

    Change the topic to older movies. Get recommendations. Pirate the recommended movies and watch them. Now you can talk about the older movies.

    I have befriended several coworkers this way. People fucking love it when other people listen to their recommendations. And hey, sometimes the recommendations are good!

    Stare at them reproachfully every time they talk about the new Tay Tay album, or the new PS5 game.

    I have some friends who are Disney adults, they made me watch Free Guy...

    How do I tolerate it? I pretend to like it while I die inside... I'm profoundly unwell. blob-no-thoughts

    If they somehow have no grievances at all to agitate on, move onto more agitable targets to radicalize

    i used to be addicted to pop culture and to an extent probably still am

    no one got through to me by curbing my pop culture addiction. i needed the gnawing, numb emptiness inside of me to grow beyond the joy a rebooted IP gave me. only then did i start caring about actually important shit

    What more is there to be excited about though?

    There isn't much in the way of positive projects to get involved with that aren't 1) very personally dangerous or 2) hard to physically be involved with (for various reasons) or 3) by some group that is dodgy.
