Can you imagine walking on a street and hearing 2 people arguing…

No.. you can't.

I remember I had an argument with a friend about Britney's '07 comeback, he said "didn't she cancel her album?" My reply was, "Nope! She released it, it sold 280,000 copies in it's first week, it ended up selling a little bit over 2 million copies." His reply was… "DAMN, that's a lot dude! How much money did she make?"
I woke up to real life and realized I wasn't replying to Kisuke…

Another time when some girl was saying Britney has been irrelevant since Toxic, I corrected her by saying "Explain how Womanizer got to #1 in less than a week and broke the best selling single in a week record? And how Circus is the 2nd fastest selling album by a female artist in 2008? The girl literally looked me up and down and thought I was crazy.
I was struck at how delusional the girl is.

Let me break it down for you in the nicest way --- although you might already know it, just a reminder --- outside of this 7 thousand member forum, no one really gives a rat's ass about who sells how much, where did this album debut, how much money did she make in a year, how many #1s did she score in 2 years, how long does it take for a song to go to #1 on iTunes, who is relevant, who is not, who could we discuss today, what Nicole tweet did Lady Gaga reply to, etc.
No one even knows that such details are being discussed in Pop forums.

The question is – did your ATRL character slip out in one of your conversations with your friends? Did you ever drag someone for calling your fave a ****? Do you hide the fact that you have your fave's album sales memorized? Most importantly, did you ever bring out statistics to prove someone wrong and they just looked you weird and changed the subject?

Let's share our ATReal Life stories.

i don't discuss any of that with anyone in real life because no one else really cares

"Most importantly, did you ever bring out statistics to prove someone wrong and they just looked you weird and changed the subject? "

No, it really doesn't matter. No one outside here cares, or at least they don't even try to understand.

I have a lot of friends I talk to in the exact same way as on ATRL. They are people who care about sales/award/etc but not enough to sit online and argue with strangers LMAO. But I have worked my ATRLness into a lot of my personality actually

LOL, irk?


Nah i dont bring facts about sales when talking about some popgirls in real life, i mean i can mention it and i act like i randomly read it lol, but yeah none of my friends care about pop music like i do

No, never.

Truest tea

Nope, I love shading P!nk in real life.

It's happened to me on a smaller degree. A guy that lives in my dorm said that he hated Gaga because "she called Adele fat in an interview."

Without even thinking I snapped, "Show me the receipts."

He looked at me like I was incredibly stupid.

But I don't tend to pull out statistics about the charts or album sales in general conversation because, as you said, no one cares except stans.

No, but there are people who cling hopelessly and endlessly to ATRL and its sub-culture.

I might've done this on multiple boards when I was 12 through 16, but I don't care about numbers and crap like that anymore. It's dumb and exhausting to me. I used to scalp people in real life over dumb **** like that.

I used to take it so seriously until I realized that it was never that serious.

my friend shared this to me on fb http://9gag.com/gag/570841?ref=fb-share

Right?

Everyday I slide some ATRL lingo into convos/text messages. "Ch", "tea", "receipts", etc. It's hilarious tbh. I've never had an argument/debate as if I was on ATRL though, besides delivering facts a couple times when people try Britney.

You're right. Irl nobody gives a **** who's single sold more or who beat who to #1.

If I have ATRL in real life, do you think I would be here?
