I mean, how is it any different than referencing movies, music, TV shows, stand-up comedy, or any other piece of pop culture?
Would referencing a movie somebody hasn’t seen before make you terminally in-theater or something? Though, having said that, I am now going to take every opportunity I can to work the phrase “terminally in-theater” into my daily life anytime somebody mentions a Marvel movie or something.
It’s not. If you’re really into pop culture and you frequently make such references then someone who is not will have a hard time communicating with you.
It’s not about internet culture being bad, it’s about the communication gap between people with very different cultural references.
