if you like or enjoy something mildly popular, LITERALLY ANYTHING AT ALL, there will be a massive backlash to it about 2-3 years in the future where it’s suddenly derided as bad and cringe to like. inevitably. your interests are not immune to it. at a certain point you really have to just not worry about that culture and enjoy your interests anyway
teens love stuff passionately, but also regard anything they loved a couple years previously as terrifically embarrassing, and feel like it’s a mark of their new maturity that they’ve ‘grown out’ of liking whatever that thing was.
ten years later they will come back and either go ‘haha yeah that stuff wasn’t very good i suppose’ OR they will go ‘you know what? i was fourteen and i was right.’
“When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been
ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them
openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the
fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
― C.S. Lewis
