The Perks of Discovering Pop Culture Late
You know that feeling when you’re just getting into a show everyone else has already binged? I was there, squinting at my screen during season three while Chris Pratt was out there becoming a global superstar. Meanwhile, I was still enjoying his goofy charm as the lovable ex of Rashida Jones in Parks and Recreation, working a shoe-shining gig. Classic late bloomer, right?
Back in ‘86, I remember telling a friend I had just started listening to this amazing band called The Police. “Too bad they broke up,” she replied. Talk about timing! And then there was that moment when a friend insisted I check out this new singer, Norah Jones. I rolled my eyes, thinking she was just into mainstream pop. Fast forward six months, and there I was, kicking myself as Norah swept the Grammys. Now, I can’t get enough of those songs I initially dismissed.
But here’s the silver lining: being a late bloomer in pop culture has its perks. When I finally discover a new author, artist, or TV series, there’s a treasure trove of content waiting for me. It’s like finding an old classic record. Take The Beatles, for example. When you dive into their discography, you get to experience their evolution from boy band to cultural icons, and each album offers a new chapter in their journey.
TV shows are a bit different; they’re more about that binge-worthy experience. A single marathon session can introduce you to a world of characters and storylines, making you feel like you’ve lived through it all. I remember when Netflix added Gilmore Girls to its catalog. While others reminisced about favorite episodes, I was diving headfirst into all seven seasons—no commercials to interrupt the fun!
And let’s not forget the emotional rollercoasters, like when a character faces a tough moment. Thank goodness for Google—I could look things up and see if my favorite character was going to make it through those heartbreaks.
Sure, being a late bloomer isn’t always a blast in other areas of life—delayed puberty and romance definitely have their downsides. But when it comes to pop culture? It’s a gift. I mean, I haven’t even seen the “Red Wedding” on Game of Thrones yet! And instead of waiting weeks for new episodes of Parks and Rec, I get to enjoy a full afternoon of Pawnee fun.
So, here’s to being a late bloomer! It’s not just okay; it’s an adventure waiting to happen.
