Pop-Culture Isolation	comment	Pop-Culture Isolation is basically a case of pop-culture myopia of sorts, where celebrities, music genres, media or events are huge and significant in one subculture or ethnic group, but elsewhere nobody knows they exist or is indifferent to them altogether. We're not talking about separate countries here, but within the same country or region. A lot of this is especially prevalent in entertainment media, affecting music in particular (radio is usually fingered as being the main cause, as it was and still is very isolated in terms of programming and format, leading to accusations of segregation). Let's face it, there are cultural barriers, and people thrive in their own microcosm. Another likely reason for this is because mainstream media is so homogenized and is prone to favoring monochrome pop culture that other cultures start their own pop-culture media outlets. That fuels this trope even further for better or for worse. This isolation of pop culture can lead to such ignorance as Cowboy BeBop at His Computer. It's even possible for this trope to happen within the same culture. This, in turn, resulted in a pop cultural Broken Base or Fandom Rivalry. Hip-Hop is a good example of this (see Hip-Hop's Broken Base entry). This trope possibly could lead to Monochrome Casting. Expecting Pop-Culture Isolation not to be an issue is a sure way to incur Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure. For some people with a certain ideology, however, Pop Cultural Isolation may be seen as a good thing. Contrast Small Reference Pools and Pop-Cultural Osmosis. May lead to Germans Love David Hasselhoff or Americans Hate Tingle. Could also overlap with Critical Dissonance. This trope along with Public Medium Ignorance goes together like peanut butter and jelly. This often is the cause of Minority Show Ghetto. Compare with Fan Myopia, which is when the fans of a particular form of pop culture believe it to be far more well-known amongst the general public than it actually is, and Obscure Popularity. By the way, did you know there are people and places out there who discuss and list the tools of storytelling but have almost no knowledge of wiki editing or TV Tropes? It's very true. Do you know about them? Probably not.

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_1367cea0	comment	Worm and its related works has an intensely fervent fandom on the forum SpaceBattles.com and various places peripheral to SpaceBattles (its spinoff forums, the "versus debate" community, certain fanfiction sites, this wiki). On those sites, fanworks are so prolific that Fanwork-Only Fans are downright common, and those who dislike Worm have often lamented how it buries discussion of everything else by sheer volume, to the point of demanding a containment forum for it. Outside of those places, it is at best obscure and more often completely unheard of.

MADtv (1995) was not even going to be shown in Seattle because the local FOX affiliate didn't think the show could stand against it. Even now, you could probably get half of the city to give up coffee for a month to get a box set note And considering this is a town with 2-3 espresso carts per block, that's saying plenty. When Comedy Central picked it up during the Nineties, during the world's grunge-induced fascination for all things Seattle, it crashed and burned hard because much of the humor was based on local-area customs and stereotypes. It was still a great springboard for Bill Nye the Science Guy, however.

Those outside of internet-comics communities who are aware of its existence generally either have friends who are fans, or are only aware of the comic due to the rampant chaos some fans stirred up at conventions in the fandom's early years (infamously, some cons were overrun by mobs of troll cosplayers who failed to properly seal their body paint, left gray paint smears everywhere, and behaved very inappropriately).

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_5bfd17b7	comment	Each entry of the Canadian teen drama franchise Degrassi is subject to this trope in interesting ways: The first three series that make up the "classic" era (The Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High, and Degrassi High) were among the most respected, well-loved and top-rated programs in their homeland. Stateside, they aired to relative obscurity on PBS, and American audiences were largely unfamiliar with the show's storied legacy by the time Degrassi: The Next Generation took off on The N. Because of the runaway success of ''Next Generation'' in the US, it attracted legions of new American fans who were not aware of anything that came before, and the result of this has had a permanent impact on the general public's perception of the show, with the fandom greatly populated by American fans whose first exposure to the series was The Next Generation. A lot has been said about why the reboot overshadowed its roots so severely, and while some fans bring up the generational difference and Sequel Displacement as the likely factors, this trope might be a better explanation, as Canadian media is more likely to acknowledge the franchise as a whole rather than just The Next Generation. The Next Generation in of itself is mostly known to younger and non-Canadian audiences as the show that Aubrey Graham was on before he became Drake. Finding someone in that demographic who actually saw the show is a lot harder.

After it ended, Ariana Grande (who wasn't even the lead star of the show) embarked on a massively successful career as a pop singer and hasn't looked back since.

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_88156ac9	comment	Battle Garegga is easily one of the most infamous shmups within the shmup community, thanks mainly due to its rank system that cranks up the game difficulty as the player collects items, fires their weapons, and simply survives, and if not managed deliberately (through abstaining from picking up power-up items and intentionally dying), the rank can spike to a point where the game goes from Nintendo Hard to nigh-Unwinnable by Design. The Real Is Brown aesthetic that was unique at its time, the more iconic boss designs like that of Black Heart, and the game being Manabu Namiki's debut as a game music composer also further establish Battle Garegga as one of the most iconic shmups, and nearly everyone in the shmup community has a strong opinion on it (whether good or bad). Outside of said community, however, almost nobody has even heard of it. While this can be attributed to the game being largely inaccessible to the Western world due to its arcade release being limited outside of Japan and its only port for almost 20 years being a Sega Saturn port that, in addition to being on a system that sold poorly, was released in Japan only, even after the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports made it to the West it's still not something that is going to catch the average gamer's eye, not helped by its high price for a shmup at 34.99 USD. Likely, by the time the game got a home port in the West, the lack of pre-existing brand name recognition (like for Gradius and Raiden), middling bullet counts (as opposed to the "dodge THIS" factor of games like Touhou Project and CAVE games) and lack of colorful visuals made it seem like just another arcade shmup from the 90s.

When PokÃ©mon GO became big with the mobile market in the late 2010s, older adults and former fans who had "outgrown" the franchise were often confused that the series was still ongoing; which led to countless articles and newsites citing Go as a reboot of a 1990s classic.

In the mainstream, it's almost completely unknown. So much so that the BBC news website headlined one story about it's 25th anniversary with 'Why are grown men still launching tabletop war?' - much to a torrent of derision in fandom pointing out that 'grown men' also watch twenty two millionaires kick a football around a field every weekend. And it was newsworthy that Games Workshop registered Â£180 million in sales during the Covid 19 pandemic 'despite shop closures', plus the article handily explained that it made 'fantasy role-playing games' in case the reader didn't know, and made a point to note that it was 'FTSE-traded' like a proper public company.

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_c1e096c5	comment	BEMANI is Konami's series of rhythm games, still being top-grossers in arcades in Japan and with several games in the series still being actively maintained, such as beatmania IIDX, DanceDanceRevolution, SOUND VOLTEX, and GITADORA. In just about any rhythm game community you can expect to find many people who are familiar with at least one of their games. BEMANI is notable for being one of the least-affected Konami video game properties in the wake of the scandals that rocked Konami in the mid-2010snote although that is likely due to BEMANI being produced by Konami Amusement (the branch that produces arcade and parlor games) rather than Konami Digital Entertainment (the branch that handles consumer-software games), which did get adversely affected by these scandals. However, outside of the rhythm game fanbase, and due to arcades and arcade games being not all that big anymore outside of the Asia Pacific region, nobody seems to be aware of the BEMANI series except maybe for old versions of DDR, i.e. "Konami doesn't make games anymore."

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_caa72911	comment	Because the series of Unus Annus was shortlived by design (376 videos posted once a day for a year and then the channel was deleted deliberately), fans within the sphere of Markiplier frequently reference the Unnus Annus merchandise, quotes, memes, and screenshots to the bewilderment of other Markiplier fans who may have known about Unnus Annus or had seen a few episodes of it, but now have no way of watching it themselves outside of finding an archive by someone who downloaded all of the episodes via an external video downloader. As such, scrolling through the Markiplier reddit can be confusing even for people who have diligently watched Markiplier. This can be made even more confusing as Mark has several Let's Play videos directly referncing Unus Annus or at least showing the countdown timer to when it is deleted. People who saw Unus Annus will get it. Anyone who missed out or didn't want to watch it will just be confused.

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_cd2b679d	comment	Arguably one factor counting for the success of The Arsenio Hall Show in The '90s was the fact that he, being a hip, younger, black late night talk show host in a field mostly populated with older white hosts and audiences, booked celebrities, politicians, music acts, activists, etc. (particularly those who catered to urban audiences or were in an ethnic or sexual minority) that his competition would rarely to never touch, while still being mainstream enough to appeal to a mass audience. Ultimately this would help Arkansas governor Bill Clinton reach audiences he likely would never reach on other talk shows, which would help him get elected in 1992.

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_d4dafda9	comment	"conflict" by siromaru and cranky is one of the most widespread songs in all of rhythm games, having appeared in over 30 different rhythm games such as Cytus, SOUND VOLTEX, CHUNITHM, Taiko no Tatsujin, Arcaea, and so on. Pretty much every rhythm game player has heard of it or played it...if you live in the Asia Pacific. In the Western rhythm game community, however, "conflict" isn't really that well-known, likely because the Western rhythm game community is centered around BEMANI and dance games and "conflict" only appears on one BEMANI game, the aforementioned Sound Voltex; instead, "FLOWER" and "Bad Apple!! feat. nomico" are more well-known as "cross-over into everything" songs.

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_ddd4b174	comment	To the average board game player who tends to play the classics like Monopoly, Sorry, Trouble, etc, specifically with kids because those games are functionally designed for families, they may be surprised to find that companies like Fantasy Flights or others like Cool Mini or Not have a catalogue of dozens of games with decent rulebooks that are designed for adults. The market on these games is not particularly large (which is why major retailers don't tend to carry them), but is big enough that they are met with large numbers of preorders.

Pop-Culture Isolation / int_e105bb21	comment	CHUNITHM is one of the highest-grossing rhythm games in Japan and one of the most sought-after in the non-Japanese rhythm game community, thanks to its refinements to vertical-scrolling lane-based rhythm games, with many people who play it regarding it as one of the best rhythm games since beatmania IIDX; particularly rich rhythm game players will gladly pay thousands of US dollars just to have reverese-engineered cabs with the Copy Protection disabled shipped to their homes. Perhaps because of this foreign demand, SEGA would later release an international version of the game in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. Likely due to being an Arcade Game with No Port For You, it is virtually unknown outside of the non-Japanese rhythm game community, with many Westerners in particular still believing that DanceDanceRevolution is Japan's premier rhythm game by a wide margin and only knowing SEGA as "the Sonic and Like a Dragon / Yakuza company".
