How does one handle the "spiritual" types who frown on tv and pop culture?

So i actually ended up UNFOLLOWING somone on freakin' twitter because they made a comment about not watching tv, like it's bad, and then all they could spout was Kathmandu, sprituality, and the "insignificance of pop culture" although they had "met college students who have the same open mind". I'm just as open, and i've never felt i should be sorry about following pop culture and twitter and facebook. SO how does one handle that kind of thing, that raw gut feeling like you SHOULD feel bad in front of this person who "sees the bigger picture" as they put it? Should I just stick my motto of "what others think about you and your interests is none of your damn business"? Or am i really this escapist schmuck like this one guy thinks? I have nothing wrong with spirituality and don't close myself to new things, but hey, i'm a tv lover, so what?
