Has it crossed your mind that some people simply don't care about the generic mass consumption pop culture you follow, and instead have other interests thay have nothing in common with yours? After all, your complain boils down to criticising others for not liking the bands you like or having other experiences that you enjoy.

But he's complaining about them only listening to top 40s music. And nothing else he's said implies that only generic mass consumption pop culture matters. Naming a band doesn't imply naming mainstream band, it just implies name A band, ANY band, and have a bit of preference or taste. Same for movies. Nothing jammygit has said implies that they need to like the same things he does. He is, however, implying that they don't like ANYTHING.

>They would have zero hobbies, ..., didn't have opinions on things, had almost no stories to tell.

I believe it did cross their mind based on what they wrote above.
