This has been my experience during most of my university time, too. I didn't realize it, though, until everyone was into something I wasn't, namely League of Legends. I tried to bring my wife to a group outing with some friends and we ended up just sitting at another table talking to my one friend in MBB because everyone could just not stop talking about LoL. Had some hard reflection after that.Besides that, Tech conversations are so goddamn boring. "Python sucks. No, Java sucks. No, PHP sucks. No, Ruby sucks." Either that or they're talking about League of Legends. It's a culture that fosters "I know what I'm talking about better than you", even though there's no right way to handle any situation considering it's a concept that never ends.
