Why is there a から after 話題, and what does ラインナップ mean?


> 女友達のスマホに入ってるアプリが男子高校生すぎるという話題から「お前のラインナップは無趣味の虚ろなOL」と言われてウケた。

I especially don't understand why is there a から after 話題. But also, what does
ラインナップ mean there? Does it refer to the apps that the person has got on their
phone?

I'd translate that as:

> during a talk about how, judging by the apps in my female friend's
> smartphone, I would say she's a high school boy, I was told that my apps are
> those of a boring office lady

But that doesn't sound right.




This から is "from (such-and-such a 話題)" or "after (such-and-such a 話題)". This
話題 is modified by everything from 女友達 to という. And ラインナップ refers to the apps of
the writer's own smartphone (you can tell this because of the passive voice
言われ). 男子高校生すぎる is a loose way of saying "too much like a male high school
student".

You are confused about who said what. The author said to the 女友達, "Your apps
are like those of a 男子高校生!". Then the author was argued back by the 女友達, "But
yours are like those of an empty OL!". Which made the author laugh.
