I heard a song at work the other day and I thought it was fairly catchy, albeit extreme compared to normal fare that would be heard on the radio. I asked one of the younger guys who it was and he said it was Katy Perry. That's when I realized that I've never heard any of her music before, at least that I know of. And much to my disbelief, I didn't vomit or anything!
And that's when I realized that, while I may be out of touch with popular culture (is it "Re-anna" or "Ri-HA-nuh"?), I don't automatically dislike something just because it's popular. Quite the opposite, I actually LIKE the majority of popular stuff out there. I just don't go out of my way to discover these things because I'm too busy enjoying other things. I mean, I haven't even seen a single episode of Game of Thrones for crying out loud.
I think my point is that there are so many new things and media and games to enjoy that I don't have the time to investigate them all. It can be described as 'attention exhaustion' I guess.
[hr]TLDR: Is there anything you guys know is popular but simply haven't had the time or energy to "get into"? [hr]

This reminds me of another song I couldn't identify. It was hip-hop-ish, and the chorus sounded as if children were singing. And if I had a gun to my head and was ordered to recite the chorus, I would honestly say the lyrics were:

No, seriously. That's what it sounds like."Tell me I'm your Cobra Commander."
