I knew about bronies before I became one. I was really confused as to why people liked the show, so I started hating. I was at the library, and this guy I was sorta friends with was listening to music on an iPod. He told me to listen, (I hated dubstep then) and I heard dubstep. Instinctively, I threw the earphones like an idiot. I asked him what it was, and he said "Pony music". My other friend was there, who is usually very accepting of anything, and I told him "This guy watches My Little Pony!". He laughed a little and kept doing his work. The rest of that day I couldn't think of him the same way. I guess it doesn't matter though, since that was what got me to watch the show that night.
