What does "cult classic" even mean these days?
I was looking for something to watch on Netflix and saw this under the descrip for Lost
>"Producer J.J. Abrams's cult hit series won nine Emmys, including Outstanding Dramatic series for 2005"
How can a cult series also be a hit? How can one win 9 emmys? I remember when the Lost finale happened it was one of the biggest events on TV at the time, what the fuck?
It did use to mean something, but like a lot of underground culture, it's co-opted by soulless shills to pander to TV watching idiots.
