Do you ever have a sudden moment of realization that you unintentionally fit into some trope that you never wanted to be a part of? You just suddenly become aware of some trashy relevant part of yourself and go "well heckie" and mildly disappoint yourself, and suddenly think "who the HECK do I think I am???" (Or maybe it makes you happy about yourself, I don't know.)
Anyway, I realized recently that I'm utter trash and listen to more obscure bands that aren't necessarily prominent or relevant, or if they're relevant it's more so in social sub-groups of a particular breed of people. I ended up going toward that "Coachella Vibe" where I listen to a lot of indie/hipster music and indie EDM/Dance music. It hit me when a friend called me trash for it. She was joking, of course. I just sat there and blinked and thought "who the motherheck do I think I am?? Hipster trash??" and it was all downhill from there.
What experiences do you have with suddenly realizing you unintentionally fit into a (good or bad or otherwise) trope that you didn't necessarily desire?

No, because I have no self awareness.

I told myself that I would not act like the sterotypical online aspie. Apparently, I failed in this mission. I do not quite understand why, but apparently people think I act better than other people and don't care about anyone's feelings. It is...frustrating.
