Taste

← Back to the blog

It's a weirdly satisfying feeling whenever you find someone who shares the same taste as you. You feel validated and they have earned your respect just by being in the in-group, a group that appreciates a shared vision. You see a tweet or comment where someone has very subtly referenced something and you know that they have a great taste.

I saw this tweet from someone and knew that we two would probably hit it off if we ever met -

I have spent significant share of my waking hours, digging for things that match my taste. Finding something that resonates with us strongly is addicting. Like an opiod adict, I keep going through all the blogs/videos from someone I realized have a similar taste as me.

So, in order to get a sense of my taste, here is things I greatly admire, that I found on internet (In no particular order) -

  • Chernobyl HBO miniseries
  • True Detective S01 - "Time is a flat circle"
  • The Prestige - "You never understood why we did this. The audience knows the truth: the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you... then you got to see something really special. You really don't know? It was... it was the look on their faces..."
  • The Social Network - "You know what's cool?"
