Yeah, I can appreciate that. I just couldn't stomach a lot of the stupid, silly stuff that was pop culture when I was teen, either. I was able to find my little tribe who were interested in things that interested me, too. It just takes longer.
Some of them are incredibly clever, though. They're not all stupid and related to pop culture. Many of them are very witty social commentary. Like the cartoons in the New Yorker. Not stupid, silly, or trite, but thought provoking.
