There was a guy in a discord chat I hang out in that never got any joke or reference because they were adamant about avoiding anything popular.
Ok... But now you can't join in on the conversation like 90% of the time because the rest of us are watching, playing and reading the same stuff and talking about it. Probably why I haven't seen him in the chat for months. 🤷🏻♂️

I would date them so we can amaze people about the amount of movies and shows we haven't watched combined.
Number.
Ooooh yes, and the other way around too. I’ve watched an absolute assload of apparently obscure bullshit, but absolutely never the same obscure bullshit people want me to have seen.

Honestly, I love making friends with people who haven't experienced some of the really incredible pieces of pop culture, because I get to see them react to seeing something incredible for the first time. Your reaction should never be "omg you've never seen this before, what kinda weird alien are you? and more "omg you've never seen this before? okay we have to watch it real soon, it's incredible."
It's only really annoying if the person is some kinda incel who has made it a point of pride to be uncultured and refuses to watch or appreciate good movies/TV.
What about someone who truly does not enjoy watching TV or movies?
I understand I'm in a very small minority. However watching TV shows or movies doesn't interest me at all.
Watching TV or Movies to me is like having stare at a blank wall for 3 hours and forced notice how the faint cracks on the paint spider along it for the entire time. Afterwards I'm supposed to feel like it changed my life or it was somehow an enjoyable experience.
It's absolutely not my cup of tea.
I don't hate anyone for enjoying them either. I'll listen to friends or family talk about things they watch. I enjoy seeing how much they enjoyed watching it. It just doesn't interest me in the slightest.
I've never met someone who doesn't enjoy movies and TV series at least to some degree. What do you not like? Is it fiction, or stories in general? Do you like documentaries? Podcasts? Books and audiobooks? Role playing games? What about music? What kind of stuff do you do for a living? What do you do during downtime and in your free time?
Sorry if I'm coming on a little strong, I'm just very curious.

Too many people make watching shows and movies their whole personality.
There is more to life than just consuming content from Hollywood.
Movies are pretty fun! If you stick to indie films or what’s shown at film festivals, you really get to experience great art. I can’t speak to Hollywood movies though, but I watch some popular action flicks now and again like John Wick or Planet Terror (2007).
Also try non-American movies, it’s refreshing to see different povs to similar themes circumstance. I find that niche old movies are pretty awesome too, but you have to dig for gold unless you go with a trusted review source.
Lastly if you’re having a bad time with movies avoid most things made by Amazon, Netflix etc. I find their most of their writers or directors seldom have any artistic vision beyond just copying what’s been done before.
Anime and Arch linux btw are the alternative personalities and I'm here for it.

Exactly! There's Bollywood, Tollywood, K-Dramas, J-Dramas, C-Dramas...
