I see a lot of younger people wondering why so many people my age liked this or that and it helps to have it in context. Like "what's so great about half life? Every shooter ever is like that!" Ah, but you see, my young friend, that's now. Everything is like Half Life because Half Life changed the landscape. Not really gatekeeping, but you do lose a lot of what made a thing special if you're only looking at it without the historical context.

Basically, the "Seinfeld is not funny" trope (insert TVTropes link and disclaimer)

To be fair, Seinfeld is not funny. Never watched it live, tried to watch it recently starting at season 1, horrible.
