BTW, I'm 17:

Cartoons
Computers and the internet
Stuff like closing logos, TV idents, etc.
Stuff about my state, North Carolina.
Retro stuff
Reading fiction books.
Video games
VHS and DVD collecting.

If there's nobody (in real life) that likes that stuff, maybe I should just tell people that I'm autistic and I'm a few years behind in growing up.

what 17 year old DOESN'T like cartoons, computers/internet, video games, and vhs/dvd's. the rest is still normal, but it's not quite as common as the first stuff i mentioned.

I always liked the little piece of music in the Columbia closing logos from the 80s. The one with the lady in a gold dress holding a torch. Not sure why, but I really like it. Thanks to youtube I can see it again. Other than that, I'd never paid attention to them. I didn't even know "closing logo" was the name for it. I guess you learn something new every day.

This is COMMON! Believe it or not, I know MANY people who are fascinated with things traditionally fit for pre-teens even!

I bolded everything that, even though I'm 19, I still enjoy.
