Someone just asked the opposite of this question here and I was wondering if there are cases were you're just not interested in something but you know the community is great nonetheless.

One that’s less relevant now, but throughout my life has been relevant: Juggalos.

I was a big metalhead in school, and i had a bunch of juggalo friends. I liked a couple of their songs well enough, but I found the “culture” grating. Still, those mothafuckas were the most accepting and tolerant people I knew. Tolerant of anyone’s way of life, except they fucking hated bigots. In the 90s, being accepting of queer peeps really wasn’t in vogue (to put it lightly) but juggalos welcomed queer peeps as friends with open arms.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol same. Juggalos are just awesome and wholesome. The music is soooooo bad tho.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Hahaha yeeee bad… but sometimes very funny. “Fuckin magnets” is timeless

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Alright. I looked up what you're talking about. I believe your referencing the song Miracles. Which is wholesome AF and an absolute banger. 10/10. No notes

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Boardgaming. I play an occasional boardgame with my friends, but I'm not searching youtube clips for strategies, importing first-print Euro games in the original German and printing English-language stickers for the boards, or watching Essen livestreams every year.

Lesbians. Hate that they aren't into me, but damnit I get it.

[–] red@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They also have more in common with you than any gay person ever will.

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Huh??? But we are a subset of gay people???

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think they mean gay as in gay men. A lot of people see gay as strictly masculine and lesbian as strictly feminine.

Which is ironic cause it should kinda be the other way around depending on your point of reference

I'll be honest with you I don't even know what I was trying to say originally I just wanted to make that masculine/feminine joke

Anime. I don’t get it, but boy those anime girls are so cute. <3

Books. I'm dyslexic as fuck but heavy readers are mostly chill people.

[–] Plum@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you ever get into audio books? It's nice to have someone else read to you at bedtime or during a commute.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ooohh ooh audio books are my bag baby yeah.

Podcasts too.

It's all about timbre and accent. I could listen to the right voice read the phone book.

Metal and punk music, not my style but def my scene

Skateboarding/ bmx/ rollerblades / scooters- have a fucked up knee so I don’t like to anymore but I love the energy the crowd brings

Street racing- car scene is dying and wifey doesn’t let me any more 🙃

Graffiti art- I’m just bad at it

Furries - not my thing but they’re fun folks

Larping / roleplay/ dnd - same

Pineapple on pizza. You're wrong and I wanna fight you but we can still be friends and have a good time over drinks.

[–] Trail@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No I am not wrong. And I can raise you with pineapple on burger.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 day ago

This is gonna be just like my buddy at my old job where it became an office-wide (joke) rift and everybody took sides and anytime someone new joined we'd ask them which side they were on and there was much hemming and hawing on Slack.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

Grilled pineapple on a burger.

Smokers. They have decades of being able to strike up an angry conversation in a street with an absolute stranger, whilst never letting it escalate, because, fuckit, brotherhood of smokers.

Plus a healthy appreciation of nature. Sure you can smoke and look at your phone, but you still have to be outside and that means glancing up from time to time to look at the scenery, the night sky, to wave at your neighbours, etc.

Good people smokers, filthy habit.

(Vapers dont count, cos you can't really share a vape concurrently. Also a lot of them take pride in their devices which I find weird. Real smokers have a decent sense of self-hatred at their habit)

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I miss smoking so much. It really is an awesome habit. Or would be if not for the cancer, COPD, and financial ruin.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Not sure what kind of smokers you meet. The ones I have to deal with blow cancer in my face right next to children, get aggressive when I ask them not to, spit on the floor every 5s, throw their still lit cigs into trash bins or into nature and cant stop coughing on the train.

Fuck yeah, I miss it. Smokers are my people. Risk takers, nihilists, indulgers, hedonists, adventurers, rebels, fun-havers… but I’ve gotten domesticated and want to live a long and clean life. Sigh.

I don't like to dress in a slutty outfit and go out in the public

Horses. Let’s say she was rather liberal regarding stuff.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

My wife is a huge Rush fan. I've been to two concerts, I don't get it. It's loud, it's screechy, I can't understand the lyrics, but they're her favorite band.

Bought her the "Rush 50" set for our anniversary next month:

She tolerates my taste:

I worked with some people from Chile once, and they ALL loved rush. there was like 30 of them, they had in common where they came from, and rush. Like it's a thing. Even the ones whose English was so-so knew every word to every song. I miss jamming with em. Fucking epic air drums!

Marijuana Aficionados. I've been straight edge my entire life but always hung out with them. Now, it is more common since legal restrictions have been lifted. The community in general is well, chill.

[–] Plum@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (8 children)

My dad gave me advice a hundred years ago, and it's probably a George Carlin bit or something, but there's a difference in philosophy between drunks and stoners. A drunk will pound a beer, or sip from a personal flask, or bring their own six pack to a party. A stoner's first impulse is to light a joint and find someone to pass it off to. It's communal, and it brings others into the circle, where alcohol is isolating. Obviously it's a generalization, but it sort of fits.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 11 points 1 day ago

Real stoners always load a full bowl.

Surprising from a user named stinky. I guess you're more the type who don't frown when you go down to brown town.
