DDR = Dance Dance Revolution
A co-worker mentioned he saw some DDR over the weekend. These people I work with find DDR hilarious, just as most non-players reacted when I would talk about it. I mentioned how I had gotten used to people giving me a hard time for playing it. My co-worker was reminded of me, and said that everyone's got their thing. Given the average person, you can probably converse about sports without being labeled anything. Talk about cars, sports, beer and you'll simply be a guy. You won’t be a car buff, a sports fan, or a beer enthusiast; you’ll just be a guy. I picked male things just because, as a guy, this is what I tend to experience more often; please do not label me as a chauvinist.
Talk about DDR, and you're an enigma.
Granted, it is easier to talk about things that are popular and more widespread because more people see it/experience it, and therefore know more about it.
