    I fairly certain that's where all the accusations of "selling out" come from when a niche performer becomes popular.
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

      although you could argue Metallica was popular at one time.

      But I liked them before they became popular, so that doesn't count

      As for Nirvana. I like them as well, but only after Kirk Cobain died .

        Yep, exactly. That's always annoyed me about lots of music critics in particular.

          I think I'm in the process of missing out on why every second joe six-pack rapper is a multi-millionaire.

                harry potter seems like it was designed for kids. I'm more into adult things.

                Even Lord of the Rings I felt should have been given an R rating and made more bloody. All that killing, and not a single drop of blood

                  'Gulliver's Travels' is frequently bowdlerized and thought of as being primarily for children yet is a sophisticated satire on politics and society. People see the great big giants and the tiny Lilliputians and the talking horses and assign it to the play room.

                  Is the A Team more to your liking?

                      On a completely different subject, briefly- is that Tony Shalhoub in 'Big Night Out' in your avatar?

                      I loved that film. Comedy and food- I was in heaven.

                            An episode I actually enjoyed.

                            Like Frasier's 'Restaurant' episode, and the 'Deli Nazi' episode, with the imported dog food and imported British biscuits at horrendous marked up prices.
