DAE feel a bit out of the pop culture loop using Lemmy as their primary social media? (sopuli.xyz)

I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there's a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I've blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy's, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country's Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

I hear you. I could go on about how pop culture is lame etc and not really answer your question but I think, the more the merrier. If I’m not interested in the Lakers, I can ignore it and scroll past it. Easy. It would be nice for people who want to discuss the Lakers to have a place to discuss the Lakers, though.

Thank you for this! I got a few comments being like "Why would you want to, pop culture is vapid" and like...I know T_T, but that doesn't make ME vapid. Some people go on COD or whatever to blow off steam after work, I just want to go on my non-corporate social media to discuss how the Lakers traded away their future for AD and somehow STILL CAME OUT ON TOP (I have been praying for their downfall my entire life and it continues to not work).

"Why would you want to, pop culture is vapid"

A lot of these people think they're better than you for having more s o p h i s t i c a t e d and mature, adult-like interests.

I won't challenge them directly, I guess, because it's the entire thread and that would be aggressive, but it is rooted in insecurity.
