i think its interesting that “liking popular media” goes through waves of being fashionable
i generally prefer art from individual artists as opposed to large production efforts because it’s typically more meaningful and personal – there’s an identifiable fingerprint to its creator which is not usually present in more popular, high budget media.
though i can also really appreciate popular media when someone i care about connects with it – but that’s usually for the same reason i like art from small artists: it reveals something personal and meaningful about the one i care about. i find it interesting that the creation of art and the enjoyment of art can have the effect of revealing inner truths and qualities like that
i’m also just a big slut for my friends and partners and want to soak in everything i can about them
i’m also just a regular kind of slut for them too, so
