The curse of being a total hipster

I like obscure things. I'm a little put off by media that's extremely mainstream because, for whatever reason, discussion just feels less passionate and real when it's a widely known IP with 10s of millions of fans. But the problem with being into obscure things is that there is often a real lack of "fandom" for lack of a better word. Maybe you can get a convo going with like minded folks but it's damn hard to find them.

I also get into popular things slowly. For example, I'm still reading Marvel and DC comics that came out in the mid 2000s. So I'm that guy whose really interested in the adventures of Quilt-Man and his colorful cast of characters and I hyperfixate on dudes that died in 2007 and have never been seen since. Try making that conversation not sound forced
