What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

Most music reccs

Indie games and indie musicians.

Most of my friends have the mentality of "if it's not popular, it's not worth checking out, regardless if it's actually good or not". And I hate it.

For me it's sim racing and VR gaming.

All my friends care about is LOL and CSGO.

Power metal. Most people seem to think it’s too cheesy.

Well it is. But that's the point

Exactly!

What is considered power metal nowadays? Helloween? Manowar? Or something completely different?
