BREAKING UP WITH SOMEONE OVER POP CULTURE

Vice.com asked readers if they’d ever broken up with somebody over not liking the same pop culture. Here are some of the responses:
– In college, I broke up with a girl because she thought Borat was annoying. – Max, Pittsburgh
– My ex asked me who Ginuwine was. I said, “The reason we’re breaking up.” – Haley, New York City
– I dumped someone because she refused to watch ‘Back to the Future’ because it seemed “so long and old.” – Preston, Toronto
– I knew one of my exes was wrong for me when he described me as “quirky like Juno.” – Diana, Los Angeles
– I mentioned I didn’t really like the Beatles, and he said I was just saying that to be cool. It turned into me getting furious because he kept saying “agree to disagree” as if there were no way I could possibly dislike the Beatles. The way he insisted I didn’t know what I was talking about annoyed me so much I eventually broke up with him. – Alex, Denver
– I dated this girl for a few months, and things were going fine until she referred to Radiohead as “that weird music” that was “too sad.” – Nathan, Philadelphia
– She had a subscription to US Weekly. – Fletcher, Washington, DC
* This is nothing. Imagine disagreeing about Kanye West or the Kardashians. That could turn into a fistfight.
* Maybe the girl who’s quirky like Juno can meet a guy who’s quirky like Michael Cera.
* I thought all women find Borat annoying, like a generation ago they all found The Three Stooges annoying.
* It’s good to know that, deep down, Americans are all pretty shallow.
* Except the girl who didn’t want to watch ‘Back to the Future’. She’s a lost cause.
