The closest thing I can compare it to is fans of that old comedy "Sports Night." They would go on and on about how it's the most intelligently and elaborately written form of media in the history of the universe, and before you have a chance to watch it yourself, you're drowning in propaganda for the show and it drives you away. Yuck.

I felt the same way about Fight Club when it first came out, there was so much hype it was hard to see what the real appeal was. But when I heard from a couple of friends that I knew had good taste that it really was good, I saw it and loved it. I think it's more about who you listen to rather than all the hype. Lots of things get hyped out of all proportion so it's better to have some trusted sources for advice on things like that.

Unfortunatly I know a woman who to this day says "shiny" instead of "good" because she watched Firefly.

this woman is an example of someone to not listen to

I heard people raving about Firefly a lot and I was like hm maybe I'll check this out and then I did and after that whenever I heard people raving about Firefly I was like 'ugh'.
