If she likes x band, he likes that band too, if she watches this TV show, its now his favorite show as well, if she likes to play this x box game, he now does too..........wtf? whats the deal? I know i shouldn't care because we broke up but it bugs me and that's actually a small part of the reason we broke up but i never confronted him about it. Is he in love with her? despite the fact that she is not available and they were never in an official relationship to begin with?

Some people can carry a torch for their past lovers for a long long time, but probably, more simply, your ex and his ex did actually have a lot of common tastes and interests and that's what attracted him to her in the first place and made him miss her.
Anyway, as you already know, these kind of questions are often absolutely pointless and unnecessarily painful. Focus on your present and future, not on the past.
