The zombie apocalypse except it’s performative ppl who overuse the words niche, yearning, revenge of the sith is my favorite, Jeff Buckley, the smiths, let down by Radiohead, I’m (batman/spiderman/anakin), etc. They also probably think everything is niche like legos, comics, anything marvel, anything dc, anything starwars, anything lotr, anime, watching movies, “bullying” kids on Roblox, etc. It’s an apocalypse cause ppl become lifeless as they care to much what others think and are insecure so they collect traits and hobbies they deem are “niche” and go around talking abt how underground and cool they are.
Rando: “I need more niche hobbies”
Rando 2: “you should try rock climbing, drawing, baking, and making Lego sets while watching super niche movies like dead poets society or eternal sunshine of the spotless mind”
Better rando: “uh oh the niche apocalypse is starting and I’m already surrounded”
The saying “niche and esoteric” is a belittling and sarcastic response in the situation where someone makes a reference that is NOT known to the person(s) that are being spoken to. Commonly used to in with regards to performative males or someone who has a “PHD in fucking everything”
