There’s nothing in the world I love more than collecting obscure/classic/retro media and movies and TV from the past. I can’t wait to show my kids as they grow all the great movies and TV that have been made. However, I find it so frustrating that none of my friends or family seem to give a shit about any of this stuff. I understand that scouring the internet for media isn’t for everyone. But when I find some rare television show in a extremely high quality that’s hard to find. I want to share with all my friends and get excited together but none of them ever care. (Cry me a River…I know). But apart from my wife and my parents, my friends are happy to let their kids watch YouTube kids brainrot endlessly. Or just watch nothing but the newest Netflix movie that is objectively awful. I do find some solace in knowing that all of you guys understand my passion. Whether it’s an old cartoon that’s been upscaled to look better. Or just recently someone shared a very obscure DVD set with me that is extremely hard to come by. And I want to tell my friends, but I know they don’t care at all. Any one else dealt with this? By the way I’m just having some fun here I’m not genuinely upset. Just wish my friends cared about stuff that I think is extremely cool I guess.

Edit: So rad to read everybody’s input. For the record, I understand not everyone’s going to be into the same things as me. Just pointing out that I put in a lot of effort to find these things and it can be a little frustrating that I have no one personally to share them with. But how cool would a convention be? To meet all of you that agree. And be able to show off our finds! Could never happen for a plethora of reasons, but still a pretty cool thought
