How crucial do you think it is to understanding "pop culture" stuff, in terms of forming friendships? (As in: Knowledge in Popular Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, Books, Songs, Music, Anime, etc...) (sh.itjust.works)

I remember this kid in highschool that, when I asked what was his favorite movie or TV shows, he said he never really watched much stuff before. Like... I ask him about piracy, I forgot what he answered but it was something on the lines of "idk", dude doesn't have a netflix and never figured out piracy... So um... yea, strict parents sheltering him... I guess... so that's why we never really "clicked".

To be fair, I wasn't exactly the most outgoing person, but like I could do some amount of random conversations, I know common topics to talk about.

Pop culture knowledge helps with finding the bit of little common ground that really helps you to get to know someone and start the type of co-worker relationship that comes in handy in the world of work.

I casually follow sports in part so that I can BS with other guys at work.
