I find it’s even worse with music than movies, especially if you include not knowing the thing in question at all. The movie guy reaction to not having watched the #8 top grossing movie the year is “dude how have you not seen it??? You’ve gotta see it!”, the music guy reaction to not hearing any of the #8 top musician/band this year is “are you a shutin or a dumbass? everyone I know listens to them!”. I’ve even seen both of these reactions from the same person lol.

Fair enough. But when people find out I’ve never seen Forest Gump or some other classic, I get the second reaction.
