I believe the general explanation for this phenomenon is that things becoming "cool" means they get popular and thus watered and dumbed down from their original content to suit a wider audience, and negatively affects the "original" fan. At least in the case of music, mostly.

Before USB Flash memory was popular, I owned a 16meg USB flash drive and use it alot at school.

Was a Zelda fan before it was huge. I had the NES Zelda pre-order and I still got the gold version of the cartige

I kind of think like OP, but it's because i don't like when people like something because it's mainstream. I know this isn't always the case, but i generalize a lot. Generalizing sucks

Let's get something straight... WoW is and never will be "cool". And I hate when people do what you do. I was at the pool with some friends and a song came on the loudspeaker, one of my friends said he liked that song and another one instantly brought up for he liked that song a few months ago. Hate it.

I watched Futurama before it was cool.
I watched Family Guy before it was cool.
I was on that website way before it was cool.
I listened to dubstep way before it was cool as well.

The latter two things have become significantly worse due to their exposure, and hence I get pretty pissed off at how mainstream they both are. I tend to rage at a lot of things, pretty much everything really.

aging syndrome.

but it's just stupid nostalgia, it's not how long you've been into something, it's how deep you are into it.

but i must admit, despite understanding this -what i think of as an- essential fact of life, i'm still struglling with it.

I liked daft punk before they were cool (e.g. before their album discovery, and way before kanye did his stupid ass remix with harder better faster stronger)

Every single music thing ever. That's a huge exaggeration. But everything from dubstep to electro to bands like MGMT and Fleet Foxes...

I feel like a massive hipster for saying it, and I am kind of a hipster, sad to say.

Eh, whatever.

I saw MGMT before they got sued, when they were still The Management... Hipster'd

This thread is hilarious

Also when someone accuses me of being a hipster my standard reply has now become " I was a hipster before there were hipsters" Usually works out well.
