You might be what is called a "harbinger of failure". A type of consumer that continuously and unwittingly buys failing products. https://scienceblog.com/479872/harbinger-of-failure-some-consumers-unerringly-buy-unpopular-products/
This sounds more like me than "hipster." It's not that I like things that then get popular, only to not like them. I like things that haven't been and will never be popular, just because I like them. I'd love if people started enjoying the things I like because it would help them survive.
Anybody have something they hate they want me to buy so it can be destroyed?
Can you buy reddit?

Did you have a zune? Please tell me you had a zune :D

I'm almost scared to like new concepts or products and techniques, afraid of killing them off.
