    In my circle of friends when I was younger it was Monty Python. I love their stuff especially the movies, but a lot of my “group” didn’t seem to get it.

    I have different friends now.

    No one in my family likes Rocky Horror and it kills me inside, I forced them to watch it, why wouldn’t they automatically love a coked out Tim Curry in drag? What’s there not to love!?!

      if you aspire to get everyone in the world to adore all the same things you adore, then you’re in for a pretty disappointing life

        *If you aspire to get everyone in the world to adore all the same things you adore, then you’ll sift out the people that don’t and be left with good friends who do.

          To add to this: there is nobody who likes everything you like. There will always be things you/others enjoy but others/you don’t. So if you will be left with nobody of you actually do it like that.

          not saying you’re wrong, but i was responding to someone who clearly isn’t happy about the fact that not everyone loves the same things he does

    Btw, that’s the cover for the Cranberries’ “Bury the Hatchet”. You should definitely check it out if you’re into 90’ alternative. I’ll make sure you ENJOY IT!!!

      I’ve found the problem with this is people over-hyping it. Just casually suggest it with one or two reasons why you like it.

        Or do what I do, and downplay it. Sure, nobody ever takes my “suggestions”, but at least they’re never disappointed!

          Hey man, lemme tell you about this game Portal: someone belittles you while you shoot a gun that doesn’t even kill people.

          Have you ever read one of my favorite books: Project Hail Mary? No? It’s about… uhh… a guy waking up and… hearing a voice. That happens on the first page, and… anything else would be a spoiler.

      I mean the last time I did something similar (many many years ago) it just have me a stronger understanding that not everyone has the same experience as me, tastes matter, and that that’s OK. It calmed me down a bit on gushing about stuff.
