I'll move it past just film/TV/book genres. I can't tell you how many times I've had some old bastard tell me how different the game of baseball/football/basketball/hittin' rex's mom's cooter was different in their day. Or how great such and such batter/pitcher/center/quarterback/rex's mom's cooter was better back then than what's out there now. Some people need to latch onto things to keep from having to deal with reality and take that shit way too far and make life miserable for everyone else they come in contact with. "Hey, guy, I know that you think it brings the team luck to wear the same fucking clothes at every game without washing them... but we're close to the end of the season, and my eyes are watering and vomit is building up in the back of my throat."

This is true both in politics and on the internet."
