I played MMOs before people really knew (or cared) about them.
Starcraft is a mix between chess, poker and a Michael Bay movie.

I do not see why some people are so negative towards OP.

Asking what you liked before it was mainstream doesn't mean that you hate it now that it is mainstream.

on topic:I am mainstream.

I started using the word "assly" and the phrase "that's ass" independently because I wanted to replace the word "gay" with something catchy that could be used in the same way with the same meaning. Just one or two weeks later I heard Conan say it, and was mesmorized. Sometimes an idea is just ready to pop and multiple people suddenly have it at the same time, just from living in the same era. But yeah it didn't really catch on and I myself started saying "lame" instead.

this

its not about being better than anybody else because you knew something before it was popular
it's that the same people who make fun of you because you do or like something different,
are the first ones to follow the new trend once it becomes popular, and then they act like they forgot what they said before,

When it comes to me, I don't really suffer from the hipster mentality. When it comes to music and other stuff I care about though, I can be a bit of an elitist.

"You call this shit hip-hop?! Are you fucking kidding me?!!??!!"
"How the fuck can you listen to this shit!!??"

And so on.

I liked Zoolander before the girl I was dating and our waiter had a mind-numbingly dull conversation about it.

I liked REM before they lost their religion.

I liked the Avengers when Emma Peel meant Diana Rigg, not Uma Thurman.

I liked Iron Chef when it was an import.

I liked the Cranberries before Zombie. I still like them, but I HATED that particular song for a long time.
Do Rush fans feel about Tom Sawyer the way I feel about Dreams?

I liked the world poker tour its first couple seasons, but stopped when there was just too much poker to follow it all.

P.S. Some people are missing that 'I liked before' implies 'didn't like after', that you stopped liking something when it became cool/mainstream.
The plural of anecdote is not data.

I got this real badass leather trenchcoat in, I think, 1998. Naturally, I was the king of the world.

Then Matrix came into the cinemas.

I liked esports when it was cool. With a few exceptions, it's not cool anymore.

Also, mandatory vampires whine: I liked them before when they were cool.

For example, I started listening to dubstep back in 06/07, back when you would find forum posts 3000 pages long about wether skream or benga was the better artist. Back when the best songs were just 3 minutes of wobble. And we liked it.*


+ Show Spoiler +
yes I know dubstep has been around for alot longer than that, but there's no denying that outside of the UK, there were maybe 1k people maximum that would have heard of it


stop thinking that outside of the uk = usa and if you really think that it was only skream / benga era in 06/07 , then stop.

besides, music knows no borders nor eras, theres only development and hopefully because of the genre going mainstream tad , it will bring more attention to other styles within dubstep. and yes, I do consider myself as an elitist when it comes to 140tempo music.

I surfed on Youtube before it got sold and got mainstream with bloggers making living from it.
