I dunno, though. That's like saying only certain types of people love Magnolia which I think is pretty close-minded, no offense. (Though, in your experience your theory holds true so far.) It's like saying everyone who loves The Dark Knight is a fanboy geek that doesn't like non-mainstream or non-classical movies. I know someone that loves TDK and Tarvkovsky movies.

Definitely. It could happen. What made me ask my question was that you said you'd never take someone seriously (key word: never). More below.

Your experience is valid. When you say it's never happened, it's never happened so your belief holds true so far. It's just that there's so many people in this world and taste is a complex thing and like you said, it could happen.

One more thing, I think it's cool that you didn't get defensive. I hope I wasn't coming off as a jerk or some shit. My question was out of earnest curiosity, and my responses are earnest, too.
