You know what? I just don't get it!

[Shattered Dreamer]

I'm sure much like myself, there are some of the EoFF faithful that see somethings that form part of popular culture and just cringe!

Thread topic: Things that are popular that you hate?

To start, Musician's who go out of their way to label their music as "alternative"

[Mo-Nercy]

A lot of my friends are into going to raves and hitting up clubs every Friday/Saturday. I just see it as a waste of money. I'd rather spend that time kicking back with friends/workmates at a pub or going to the footy and getting tanked there. My friends now look at me like I'm some sort of middle-aged bogan.

edit: or "redneck" or something.

[Shattered Dreamer]

Have to agree there Mo-Nercy not much a nightclub person myself! Nothing like a late bar on a Friday/Saturday night with friends, for one you can actually have a conversation & not need to shout!

[Cuchulainn]

Indie Scenesters. smurfin Kill Em All.

[Polnareff]

This whole "emo" thing. I don't get why it's so popular. It's invaded music, video games, and tons of other things.

Not really gonna knock it, it's just something I don't really get.

Is WWE/WWF/WCW/ECW/Fake Westling that hicks think is real still popular? If so, I hate that pretty good.

Aside of that there are things I am indifferent to/don't care about, or think is garbage, but nothing I can think of that I really, truly hate.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Family Guy/South Park/American Dad/Simpsons. I really just don't get what part of these shows anyone can find funny. To me, they're a pile of godawful tripe.

Also, as people have said, the whole club scene. Why go to a sleazy club which plays crap music, it's full of people who're way too pissed, or way to promiscuous and you have to shout to be heard.

[Bunny]

Family Guy/South Park/American Dad/Simpsons

American Idol and shows like it.
Reality shows.
Anything to do with celebrity gossip.
Kim Kardashian.
Rebecca Black and every other Youtube "celebrity" that exists forever.
Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel.
Basketball.
The Vampire Dairies, Twilight, and almost anything vampire-related. This includes, to a lesser degree, True Blood. It is a decent show, the best of the vampire shows, but it isn't amazing or incredible in any way.
Dane Cook.

I could continue going probably.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Things I hate:
Lady Gaga
The Beatles
Indie music (when defined as an actual genre o_O)
Vampires that aren't Dracula, Alucard or Blade
Colored people

[I Don't Need A Name]

The Beatles

YES

[Shattered Dreamer]

The Beatles

YES

As a musician I'm appalled but you're both not the first people I've heard say this.

[Caboose]

People in general.

Believe it or not, I'm a musician too. Still can't see the appeal in them. I'm firm in the belief that you can't preach the praises of a band 'changing the face of music' if you weren't there to witness it.

You know if you were talking about music not written by Lennon & McCartney I'd agree 100%. But I'm not going to argue the toss about The Beatles it's not why I created this thread
