What is there in society that has looked down upon that you secretly love? I love 80s music and enjoy disco, and I have no shame about it.

What are yours?

I'm not so secret about it anymore, because I don't think should feel bad about things that make them happy (as long as they're not illegal/harmful to others), but here's my short list:

- romance novels (reading and writing)
- bad reality TV
- 90s country music
- 90s/00s pop music
- Taylor Swift (I was a secret Swiftie for soooo long because I was not interested in being made fun of the same way I was picked on for loving boybands in the early 00s)
 
Another one for 80s music.

There's lots of examples of artists/songs that were always just kind of around but lately I've checked out stuff like Huey Lewis on Letterman and it's a blast.

I like watching youtube videos of people playing video games. I used to play games growing up and throughout college, but once I graduated, I got rid of my systems and games. But I do enjoy watching the stories.
Watch the gamer rage videos?:D

Is listening to 80/90s music considered shameful? I see kids listening to bangers from back then all the time. Even my 20-something kid listens to a lot of that music.
80's rock in particular is THE stuff......and I'm 25. 80's rock just brings out good vibes.

I don’t think most of it is considered “good music” by critics.

I'm a hard rock, metal type.... but I secretly love the Bee Gees. I also crushed on Debbie Gibson back in the late 80s.
