That's one of those, I PLAYED THAT GAME BEFORE IT WAS COOL.
That made me smile. WoW was cool?

This thread is so ironic it's not ironic at all.

I liked this thread before it got 20+ posts.
I also liked the internet before it got 4-chan.
And random internet chat before it got anything but mIRC.
YOU KIDS HAVE IT ALL TOO EASY THESE DAYS!

I was listening to Mike Posner, Far East Movement and Sam Adams before they became famous. Next up - Hoodie Allen (already gaining popularity)
I was at the midnight release for Vanilla WoW
I bandwagoned the OKC Thunder when they only won 23 games 3 years ago now they are the "in" team to like. Next up - Wizards (3 - 5 years) that team will be good if they keep their core
Also played wc2

I also played in an SC league before replays were introduced.
I usually try to behave in an avant-gardist way, because new things get old quickly and the corporations maintaining certain constructs fail politically. Somehow the improvements they make are balanced with the good things they remove. Like in sc2, where many nice strategies were removed and there is still no balance and a very low level of transparency, while some bugs were removed. I usually like the beta a lot more.

Tron before the new one came out.

I remember in middle school up to early highschool you would never admit to playing WoW unless they were your friends but Junior and Senior year I remember a lot of the popular kids started playing and getting into it and it became a lot more accepted. I feel like a lot of popular kids like jocks are more nerdy now with video games and I am not surprised if WoW is considered "cool" like Call of Duty in some High Schools or whatever.

I liked Dragonforce before it was even announced to be on GH3. Now I don't like them.
Thats pretty much the only one I can think of.

Kanye West, Leonardo Di Caprio (i liked him in the Titanic times and saw the good actor in him, a time where when i talked about him people classified me as cheesy/gay whatevs), Kas, Fight Club, Lord of the Rings and many more.
Im generally an indicitor for mass appeal. Things i like are becoming mass appealy most of the times. Maybe adapted too much from mainstream into my general taste of art etc.

I was interested in Japanese language and culture long before the asian boom where everyone and their grandmother watches anime and want to move to japan to live with robots.

I guess being full of oneself is the next big mass appeal

I´ve got a T-shirt that says "I listen to bands that dont even exist yet". That´s how cool I am.
|
I liked the song ' Somewhere over the rainbow ' by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole back in 06 ' before it went mainstream last year, just to squeeze some more money out of this lovely song >.<
|
I like StarCraft Brood War after it was cool. All of my buddies are playing Brood War 2v2 in the computer lab right now. Shit is so cool.
DEATH TO STARCRAFT II!! START THE REVOLUTION NOW!
|
I liked Mumford and Sons as soon as the band formed, as I knew about two of the members back when they were on other bands, and heard a song they did before they were offically a band. Was a little cool watching them explode into what they are now.
But that's about it. I'm not very hipster. Oh, and I liked Hurt Locker and recommended it to everyone about a year before it won it's Oscar. Did the same with The King's speech. But those weren't about being hipster, it's about following film festivals and such.

I liked myself before I got cool...

I liked qxc before you probably heard of him.

SC related: I was a Bisu fan before he beat Savior. I remember someone leaked a replay pack of him when he was still considered an up and comer and I used those reps to up my game cause of his clean play. I then took a 1 1/2 year break from SC and I come back to TL and what do I see? Bisu #1 on the power rank and him having beaten Savor 3-0 months ago. Waaaaaat.
Music: The first time I got high I listened to Infected Mushroom with my friends. This was before they started making commercially successful soft music. I got nothing against commercially successful music, but their music got soft, so much so you can't call it psychedelic trance anymore.
Internet jargon: I started playing SC before the whole MSN craze, so when I started adding my classmates and talking over MSN, people would inevitably ask me what does LOL and ROFL mean. I was like WTF.
For me, knowing something before it got popular isn't about recognition, but about going: WTF, this is popular now, and reminiscing about stuff you did 10 years ago.
