Do you try to avoid doing things that are considered popular, as in things everyone is doing? Do you avoid watching certain shows, listening to certain music, or seeing certain movies?

Do you feel you are unique?

Radiohead's my favorite band and they're one of the most popular modern bands in the world The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is my favorite movie and it's arguably the most famous western ever So no, I don't shy away from things if they're popular. I really don't care how popular something is

I guess my binary answer would be 'no'. I will do things which I think are going to be good, they could be popular or unpopular things.

Do you feel you are unique?

Yes.

Doesn't matter. If it's good, it's good.

I don't really pay too much attention as to what is popular.

Since I don't think things based on popularity only to whether actually I think it is good or not.

Of course not. I Wouldn't dislike something that I would otherwise like just because it's popular.

If something is popular and it's good, no. But if it's bad or horrid, usually yes.

No. They wouldn't be considered horrible people, because everything I do is wonderful and splendid. :)

I'm not saying no, but I'm not saying yes. It really depends on what's the popular object of the time.

I think hoarding away from popular things just because they're popular is just as stupid as hoarding to things because they're popular. People should make up their own minds on things - not hate on them because people like them or love obscure things just because they're unique.

Not as a rule, but I find modern American pop-culture to be so insipidly wretched that I usually don't like popular things. It can be annoying in itself when a song or movie becomes a "phenomenon" though.

I don't really care if it is popular or not... if I like it, that's all that matters. And if it happens to be popular at least I know there's a higher chance of more material. Rooting for unpopular things depends on what/who it is exactly. These things still need some kind of fan base to make a career. Hell, things can have a decent fan base and they stop airing the show or touring or whatever.

Yes, if something is a humongous hit with people and stretches across the world and is generally well recieved by the public and critics alike then it's obviously bad.

I watch/read/do what I find enjoyable without regard for it's popularity of lack thereof. I really couldn't bother to care about such a trivial thing.

I do like traveling roads less traveled as I like discovering things on my own, but that being said I will still enjoy even the most overplayed or overrated piece of entertainment if I find it engaging in some way.
