High Key
When a friend or anyone says/thinks anything is terrible or bad, but it’s lowkey nice to a select amount of people who have an acquired taste for specific things. (i.e. clothes, music, art, food, news, etc.)

Normally these things are considered to be “different” or unconventional to a specific type of person. Or maybe it’s actually shit and you have just really fucking terrible interests🤣

But the moral of the story is we all can like whatever we want! If we all enjoyed the same exact things; society and people would be lame as hell rs lol
