What is this concept?
« on: July 22, 2009, 01:15:57 am »
Is there a word for the concept that's like nostalgia, except you don't like the thing? This is how I feel about A Goofy Movie. It's not just that I think it's bad just because, it's that I think it's even worse because I've always hated it. I think it is worse than a thing to which I have just been introduced, but which is equally bad. It's like a badness coefficient. It's like 1.5(x) bad.

I do a similar thing where I focus on certain things as... exemplars of what is the worst thing.

but normally in the context of "my friends all like this thing, and I hate it."

The term is "I Heart The Blank".

For sixty extra dollars, Michael Ian Black will say something sarcastic about it on VH1.

apparently, your feelings about a goofy movie are the exact opposite of my feelings for the thundercats(i BT'd all the episodes and now im converting them to mp4 so i can sync them to my zune)
