I USUALLY get on board with things right from the start but sometimes things get past me like how GREAT something is. My current "find" is Justin Timberlake. YES, Justin Timberlake. I was never a big 'boy band" fan unless you count Duran Duran but I find him very funny and interesting. His SNL skits and digital shorts are genius.
I was also late on watching "Rescue Me" but made up for it in a week by watching ALL of dvds I could get at the library. I'll miss that show now.
What have you found that you love WAY after everybody else?
I too was never a Neil Young fan until he played Farm Aid in Milwaukee. My husband gave me the big "I TOLD YOU SO." I can listen to him but not look at him. He needs a big scrub in the tub!
the Twilight Saga....absolutely love the books!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually resisted reading them for a long time but finally gave in and just love them.
Youtube The History of Rap w/ Justin and Jimmy Fallon.
You're Welcome.
I Love JT too! You're right. d!ck in a box is so genius.
I discovered the Sims way after the fact and got hooked.
Neil Young. HATED him in high school and have LOVED him since my 30's. Weird.
The Sopranos
And when I had my first baby it was Sex and the City. It helped with middle of night feedings so much!
Over sized off the shoulder shirts.....this is the like third time they have been popular...and I am just now liking them.
The Tv show Weeds...LOVE IT.
I was also late on the Office craze...but now I love it.
I have yet to move into ''The Future'' when it comes to electronics....Everything is evolving so fast...That I am gonna wait until the boom is over and things level off..there is just so much out there...Ipods,ipads,notepads,maxipads on lappads......I really can not keep up with it all:)
Some things I would rather be late then never with......Eventually everything comes around to being relevant:)So, some day I may want my ipad to call,watch and live my life through:)
Friends. The show. I wasn't ever around to watch it since I worked second shift and I didn't find it until it was re-runs.
Everbody Loves Raymond. Same reason.
Mary Tyler Moore show. I wasn't around for the originals but loved Nick at Night to watch re-runs.
Madonna. I grew up in a very rightwinged religious home and we were not allowed to listen to her. After getting out of the house I was listening to her and LOVING it!
L.
Will and Grace. Hysterically funny- what took me so long? Jack is so over the top.
I'm not Facebooking yet. Am I fashionably late or just completely out of touch??
Fun question! Thanks for posting!
ETA: Thank you Bug! That was awesome!
Lol!!!! When I first read this I thought you meant Justin Bieber!!! For a while there I was not computing. I came late to iPods, but once we got them, our household technology just flew! Now we have moved beyond the iPods and my husband has set up some remote music/movie thing, and apple tv etc. iPods certinly got us moving technology-wise.
The Little House on the Prairie tv show. After college when I was between jobs, I watched all the reruns of it. I haven't watched it since.
I had my daughter in 2000 and while on maternity leave 'found' 90210. My sister would laugh at me because I was all like "I can't wait to find out if...." and she was like - that was 5 years ago and you are the ONLY ONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD who doesn't know if Donna and David have sex!!!!!
I was also "late" to the Black Eyed Peas party - I didn't jump on board until the END tour in 2009 and my sister was all "my humps" was soooo 2005!!!!
Well I haven't found anything to love yet, but I find time for Mamapedia!! My sister has just discovered Justin Timberlake herself, we were talking about that last week. And I have never even heard of "Rescue Me". I guess I need to turn on the tv more.
Facebook! I have been asked repeatedly to join by family and friends for YEARS! I finally caved after moving to the opposite coast and wanted everyone to see my son as he grows up.
I didn't watch TV for nearly or slightly over 10 years. (Not out of a moral thing, because I was places it wasn't an option -military, and then when I got out I was in off the map places, and then working 36 hour shifts back stateside; sleep do another 36-, and then I was home with 'normal' life with a new baby and in college. Then I took some time off school and had my son all day and worked all night (3 hours of sleep caught in naps for a year or so). No time. Pure and simple.
I've spent the past 2 years catching up. I think I've finally found and watched all the "good" ones. There may be a few out there. I'm on a mission from gawd to find them, because I'm laid up and bored. I've also sifted through a lot of slush :)
I was completely prejudiced against both JK Rowling and Stephani Meyer for different reasons. When I realized I was scorning without having read them (horrifying, HATE it when I catch myself doing that) I found two great series.
I have a VICTORY!!! though.
I never find "new" music. Ever. In fact, I get teased all the time in my 'late coming' on music (seriously, I never listened to Led Zeplin or the Grateful Dead until my 20's). But I heard this AMAZING song on a show I was watching. I rewound and cranked it up to get the lyrics. Typed them in. Fell in LOVE with the artist. This was about 2 weeks before Adele started winning awards left and right and being played on the radio like crazy. HAHA. Victory.
