UNPOPULAR OPINIONS
 
WE ALL HAVE 'EM NOW LET'S SHARE THEM AND TALK ABOUT THEM. THIS CAN APPLY TO MOVIES, MUSIC, BOOKS, WHATEVER. I'LL GIVE YOU ONE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING.

DUMB AND DUMBER IS THE WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME

OO AH and another thing: when people say that people like a certain work of art because they're "supposed to" or it gives them cred or whatever I want to kill them because while some people do that, that is just another way of saying "I don't like this and neither should you" and that isn't cool and you can't really dictate peoples' taste. that gets under my skin. oo.

Treecko February 17th, 2015 6:43 PM

Is "The Big Bang Theory is Overrated" and unpopular opinion? Cause I know a lot of people love it
, but an equal amount of people hate it. I watched an episode and couldn't get through it. A lot of the humor, mostly the nerdy humor, seems very forced to me. Five minutes in I could tell the jokes were forced because they have resort to the laugh track too much.

I'll think of more later or an actual unpopular opinions haha.

pompayyy February 17th, 2015 6:47 PM

I don't like Fall Out Boy
I don't like Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask
I don't like Gravity Falls (Amazing of Gumball is much better)
I don't like Final Fantasy VII
And I think acting edgy and hating everything is stupid. Like when people say "all songs on the radio are dumb and I was born in the rong genurashun and where led zepelin now!!!!!"

Sydian February 17th, 2015 6:52 PM

I don't like the zombie/undead craze. A few years ago, it was all about vampires and I didn't like that either. I think the zombie thing is even worse. While it's thankfully, to my knowledge, not romanticized, it just seems to be everywhere and the "zombie apocalypse" is a thing everywhere. Either people are preparing for it, asking you how YOU prepare for it, or just something related to it and I think it's overrated and a horrible way to start a conversation with anyone. Yes, I've had people try to use that as conversation starters. Burn, please.

Uhhh and I don't like Friends. It just never interested me. Oops.

Edit: Oh, haha. Silly me. I forgot. Warm Bodies. Zombies did get romanticized. Well fuck. Bye.

Livewire February 17th, 2015 6:55 PM

The level of rabid fan-boying and insanity that follows Doctor Who is something I will just never understand. Same with Adventure Time and such. I don't get it.

Alfieri February 17th, 2015 7:00 PM

I don't like the whole zombie apocalypse thing.
I don't like a lot of pop music or rap music.
I couldn't care less about all these celebrities and their personal lives that are made public.
Supehero comics need to stop rebooting and rehashing the same stories. Introduce new heroes and villains. Stop making another Batman and Superman storyline. Be inspired by the Japanese comics and know when it is time for a character to call it quits.

Thursday February 17th, 2015 7:14 PM

Steak is nasty. Just the taste and feel of it makes me want to spit it out.
Pikachu isn't that great and I hate that they keep pushing the annoying little mouse into our face.
It freaks me out to know people follow what celebrities/singers/actors/whatever are doing. It has gone past stalker territory thanks to the paparazzi. It's basically become a religion.

Sydian February 17th, 2015 7:20 PM

this might not actually be unpopular but i actually like the term bae and i know and don't care that it means shit in some other language because honestly who doesn't want their own little shit???? i mean let's be real here if you're my lil shit i probably really like you so you can be bae.

Sir Codin February 17th, 2015 10:17 PM

Green Day ruined punk and I hope they burn forever.
Misty is the second worst female companion Ash has ever had (Iris was worse).
Star Trek is boring as shit and I hate it (except the Abrams movies).
The iPhone is a piece of shit and so is your face.
I hate the idea of Frozen and I utterly refuse to see it.
Spongebob Squarepants was never good. Ever.
Most of the Final Fantasy games suck (only good ones are 1, 6, 7, and maybe 10)
I hate The Beatles, especially John Lennon.
Leonardo DiCaprio does NOT deserve an Oscar. At all.
Big Bang Theory isn't funny. Neither is Friends or Seinfeld.
Adventure Time isn't entertaining and I hate it's art style.
Pop music is always bad. Always.
Everything Mel Gibson made is terrible. Even Braveheart.

Pinkie-Dawn February 17th, 2015 10:40 PM

Game of Thrones. Can people just please stop crazing over that boring show.

Hikamaru February 18th, 2015 5:11 AM

Pop music is getting worse and I'm not joking about it. Lately most major pop hits are trying to sell the artist but come at the expense of quality, meaning terrible vocals, sound or both.

KorpiklaaniVodka February 18th, 2015 5:27 AM

The iPhone fucking sucks.
Ubuntu > Mac OS X.
Windows Vista wasn't that bad.
"It freaks me out to know people follow what celebrities/singers/actors/whatever are doing. It has gone past stalker territory thanks to the paparazzi. It's basically become a religion." --> Totally agree.
One Direction is catastrophically awful.
Counter-Strike (especially Global Offensive) is extremely overrated.
I don't care about Minecraft or League of Legends.
Shows like "X Factor" and "America's Got Talent" are staged.

Agreed. The books are also uninspired, plodding and just generally badly written. The TV series has never been more than an average TV show based off a terrible series of novels written by an egotistical, arrogant man who thinks he can write better than Tolkien (he can't, although it's a very close thing, because Tolkien himself wrote some very tedious prose) and can demand the worship of his misguided fans whilst keeping them waiting years for books which are just as poorly written and dull as his previous instalments.

...yeah, I really don't like anything associated with George R.R. Martin. The man himself really gets on my nerves, and if his books really were as good as he seems to think they are, we wouldn't have a problem. But as things stand...

I've got some other highly unpopular opinions of my own I might share later...I just wanted to support that one wholeheartedly; I hear far too much praise for it.

It's funny. I think it's getting better and worse at the same time. So many different types of music on the radio. Although maybe what I hear is different from American pop.

I have really unpopular ones I think.
Justin Bieber's music isn't terrible. He is a jerk though.
One Direction makes great pop music.
5SOS is going to be good for the Pop-Punk genre, and make good catchy pop-pop-punk music.

While that's not my problem with these threads, what I hate about them is that a lot of the things I see on them I find don't exactly seem to be unpopular. If you look at the unpopular opinions thread in Pokémon General, you'll see that I made at least two posts about questioning what "unpopular" really means after people were trashing Generation V and praising GSC and Generations III, which, really, is what I find the general consensus to think, not find them unpopular (although i'm the opposite but that's irrelevant to this thread).

That said, i'm sure I have some to mention but I can't really think of any at the moment.

What counts as unpopular is completely based on the place you're asking. If you asked the people on this forum if they like Pokemon, I'm pretty sure most would say they do but if you ask the same question on a One Direction forum, I doubt the answer would be the same.

For the answers in this thread, and even my own answer, I think it depends on what we have all heard or seen. People are mentioning One Direction because they've become they are played a lot and have become pretty big. The same thing could be said about any show, culture, style, music, etc. We're just answering based on the fact so many other people like it, even if a good 50% of the people on this thread dislike them.

Hopefully that all made sense? I was trying to find a way to word it without it sounding like I was trying to start an argument.

I agree will all the above.

Also any sort of reality/talent show such as X Factor, Briton's got talent, only way is Essex etc.

Shows/films/books that are popular because people feel that they need to like rather than because they discovered it themselves.

Chikara February 18th, 2015 10:28 AM

Green Day isn't too bad, imo. They're just not nearly as good as they were in the 90's.

Iggy Azalea is terrible, all of her music is incredibly annoying.

The Big Bang Theory isn't funny at all. Enough with the BAZINGA! shirts.

I don't mind when people advertise the fact that they're at the gym through social media. Everyone needs a little motivation, and if that keeps them going, then alrightyroo!

Broad City >>>>>> Workaholics, though I love them both so much.

calm down dude. I made this thread so people could talk about opinions they have that may be a bit left of the dial. your argument comes across as a knee-jerk reaction to something you irrationally dislike, I don't know why I'm responding to this. like I'm honestly speechless mate. what the hell are you trying to prove here. why shouldn't this thread have been made exactly, it's good discussion.

the Ramones were doing the exact same thing Green Day were doing 15 years prior and purists love them. Dookie is great, I'd rather listen to that than any of the Ramones' records actually. saying they ruined punk is a wee bit melodramatic considering it was already dire by the 90s anyway and they revitalized it, kind of. if you're basing this off American Idiot and stuff, then I KIND OF get it but at that point they'd diverged from punk so hard that it's really a moot point.

I may DISAGREE with some of the other things but I don't see anything inherently WRONG about them (and I'm not saying your opinion's wrong -- I'm saying that claiming a band ruined a whole genre is just kind of, iunno, off-base). I love you. I'm sorry.

El Héroe Oscuro February 18th, 2015 11:33 AM

Taylor Swift is such a waste of talent and I wish she made more music like this instead of the garbage she makes now.

TheGhosteon February 18th, 2015 11:47 AM

I never could get into the Zelda series. I tried to force myself into playing Ocarina of Time, but I lost interest really quickly. I also can't get myself to play Mario games anymore. Just...Beeeeh, Nintendo's major franchises that aren't Pokemon, Kirby, or Smash Bros never really interested me to begin with.
I think Frozen is way too over-hyped.
I've never seen Star Wars and have no interest in seeing any of the movies anytime soon.
Am I the only person who liked Madoka Magica Rebellion? Because it seems like everyone else hated it.
I also never saw the appeal of Bleach or One Piece...
I'm not a big movie person. I like animated movies, but that's about it.
I'm not interested in Doctor Who. Not in the least.

maccrash February 18th, 2015 11:51 AM

this new Drake album is his best yet and my favorite release of 2015 so far.

Poki February 18th, 2015 12:02 PM

Hm, I remember posting in a similiar thread.

- Doctor Who, GoT & TWD are overrated as fuck.
- John Green's books are disgunstingly cliché.

I have more, but they ain't media/arts-related, so.

Nah February 18th, 2015 12:18 PM

I have zero interest in reading that mess known as Homestuck.

I might post more later but for now I have to go hide from Rika, Jo, and Omi

I also need to think of more things.

Harmonie February 19th, 2015 11:35 AM

The 80s was generally not a good decade for music.

I can not understand the continued obsession with games in the style of NES/SNES or earlier. I grew up playing both systems.

There are plenty of great cartoons outside of the 90s. Plenty I'd rather watch than Ren & Stimpy, Cow & Chicken, and Invader Zim.

The Zombies/werewolves/vampire obsession is stupid and annoying. And I do not say that because of Twilight. In fact I don't even care about Twilight (the hate for it was a far more abundant and obnoxious fad). It's the zombie fad that really irritates me. There was a time where on every forum in existence a "Zombie Apocalypse!!!11!!1" topic would pop up every five minutes. Seems like people actually want it to happen. I think they should be focused on the real world.

Superhero media (DC/Marvel) is generally uninteresting. The movies can bring a good laugh sometimes, but people overhype them.

Belldandy February 19th, 2015 11:42 AM

Hmm... Lessee...
  • I don't like the Final Fantasy Series [at all]
  • I don't like Katy Perry / most mainstream musicians
  • I think the Batman series is over-rated for their rank on IMDB
  • I think movie theatres are over-rated
  • I think people who live their lives gossiping about celebrity "news" are a waste of space, resources and Oxygen
  • I don't think Spanish sounds attractive at all
  • I think "Let It Go" comes nowhere close to the awesomeness that is the Tangled soundtrack

I will come back and edit this later :pink_tongue:

I was literally just talking about this the other day. ...To myself, but still. You know how you can tell what decade music is from for the most part? There are certain styles and trends that go on through the decade. 80's music, however, isn't just a subtle "oh it's an 80's song" kind of thing. It's like in your face here I am synthesizer cheesy lyrics high pitched childlike sounds. 80's music SCREAMS that it's from the 80's. It wants you to know and it doesn't want you to forget.

My sister loves the 80's overall and is always popping in some Cindy Lauper CDs in her car and they sound so atrocious. Not all music from the 80's is terrible, but there's a lot that stands out, shows its age (which is worse because that takes away from making it a timeless song), and just isn't good.

Palkia February 19th, 2015 1:20 PM

  • Imagine Dragons are a horrible band that I wish would just go away. Complete mockery of indie music.
  • Lana Del Ray is a cheap rip-off of better artists and is one the most boring and irredeemable artists working today.
  • Jay Z should take a break from the rap game; Magna Carta Holy Grail was a utter shitheap of a album.
  • As much as I respect Kanye West and Paul McCartney, them collaborating makes no sense whatsoever.
  • Pop music hasn't magically stopped sucking overnight, it's always has severe quality control issues.
  • I find people who moan about pop music more annoying than the actual music. The genwunner effect strikes again.
  • There is no reason why the PS4 has sold nearly 20 million units into it's lifespan. I feel there are no worthwhile games for it yet and there's barley anything to differentiate it from the Xbox One.
  • I don't see the point in buying a PS4 or Xbox One for myself (my dad owns a PS4 that I play on occasionally) when I have a computer that can run most, if not all modern games.
  • Steam is a excellent service, but their quality control for the games they release is the worst I have ever seen.
  • I think Nintendo deserve a lot more shit than they already have been getting. They almost destroyed both of their current systems by releasing them prematurely and releasing some of the most half-assed instalment in their IP's to date. I don't think they should go third-party as it is, but I won't be surprised if they do.
  • That being said, the Wii U is a much better system than the PS4 or Xbox One as it's actually trying to do something other than making prettier versions of currently existing games
  • If the Wii U Gamepad was a gimmick, then the DS's dual screens were a gimmick. And we all know how much of a failure that system was. {:3}
  • I feel like I like my PS Vita more than Sony does.
  • I don't think that Minecraft is overrated; I feel it deserves to be the cultural phenomenon that it is.
  • What I will say is that I don't like how many kids prefer watching people on YouTube play Minecraft rather than playing the damn game. Seems incredibly lazy when they can create their own adventures.
  • I hate all the tacky YouTubers who call game companies frauds and predict their doom and lambast and even insult the people who enjoy their games, calling them "not true gamers" or "babies". It's immature as fuck. I like to see companies getting teared a new one, even if I love their products (e.g Nintendo and Capcom).
  • I don't like boycotting a company when they do something I dislike, I just boycott that one product. I especially hate it when people brag about boycotting companies. It's just ultra-silly and painfully pathetic.
  • I hate it when games try to act cinematic. It's pretentious and is the absolute worst way to approach making a video game. If you want to make a cinematic experience, make a fucking movie.
  • I think the amount of superhero movies coming out nowadays is oversaturating the market.

Ephemeral Euphoria February 19th, 2015 1:32 PM

Well let's see here.


Nirvana is one of the worst bands that I've ever listened to, ever.
Most if not all of the music on the radio nowadays is on par with regurgitated garbage and that's me being kind.
Youtube had potential a few years back but now it's a vanilla flavored shit stack that's only good for music and that's just barely.
Usher is the worst thing to happen to music since Elton John and that's just counting his songs.
Movies in general nowadays are about as interesting or as entertaining as watching a dog lick its balls for 5 hours straight while listening to Nancy Grace and taking her seriously as well.
Punk music is cancerous at best.

And yes, I know how harsh I sound when saying this.

Dter ic February 19th, 2015 2:00 PM

Since when has it become a thing to compare a show that kills off characters as "the next GoT" (I shouldn't be seeing that sort of comparison in discussions about animé of all things)

Dawg, I understand that these are "opinions" but like, what man. as I've said before (and I will continue saying for the rest of my living days on this earth) calling an entire genre of music something as Churlish as "cancerous" is, in fact, off-base and silly. you coulda just said "man, I don't like punk music. in fact I HATE punk music" but alas you decided to imply that it's actually a genre that saps the life out of... whatever the hell you're implying it's sapping the life out of. sorry. sorry. sorry. I'd address your "Nirvana's the worst band ever" thing but that'd be like that "old man yells at cloud" Simpsons headline personified, so I'm not gonna do that.

also to those of you trashing the 80s, man, MAN these songs are as '80s as possible and they fucking bang. and that's not even to SCRATCH THE SURFACE of all of the indie music that was going on in the '80s, all the new scenes going down. man. the '80s weren't so bad. the '70s on the other hand were a bit weak. but I mean EVEN THEN you had punk and glam rock and krautrock and FUCK. no one decade could be considered "bad" from the '50s and on, really. it's personal preference. that "old man yelling at cloud" thing I mentioned earlier is actually what I'm doing now so.

This reminds me just how crappy and uninspired pop music is. In fact, I labelled Swift's latest album 1989 as the worst one she's ever done, and most of that reason is because I pointed the finger at her going completely pop, which was actually the genre she wanted to do instead of her earlier country-based material... and eventually semi-achieved that come Red.

Yes, to true, I really loved her first album and Fearless. Ironically music from those albums were never on the radio, but now she does not so good music, her songs are never off the radio lol.

This is true. I know how much commercial Top 40-centric radio focuses much more on the "annoying and uninspired" songs by those mainstream artists as opposed to music of theirs that had at least a trickle of quality.

Yes sadly, top 40 music is mostly about marketing celebrities rather than celebrating the art and creativity of music.

like, I understand disliking top 40 music, but really, pick your battles. it's hurting nobody, and you'll find that if you're in public and like, iunno, Blank Space comes on (to go with the trend of this thread) and you mope about it instead of (at the very least) just accepting it, then you're gonna have a not great time and you're gonna drag your own mood down and the mood of the people around you. this is fact. I used to be one of those folks who was like POP MUSIC SUCKS NOWADAYS AND WHY THE HELL..... but now I've just realized you have to cut loose and have some fun every now and then and if you absolutely hate every modern pop song in every context then what is that accomplishing? (it being mindless: I can concede that but like that's not necessarily a bad thing)

I could reply to everything here in a detailed and long winded manner that this forum is used to but for comedy's sake, I'm just going to say that that's just your opinion man. To answer your question in a serious manner though, punk music saps the life out of any enjoyable feeling I end up having for the day as soon as that type of music hits my ears. Apologies for not being clearer there but now you know.


Yay for personal preferences btw.

I get you man. it's weird, I just think the total opposite about most (good) punk. fills me with energy, personally, but different strokes for different folks.

No.

And personally I'll take that crowd over the pop crowd. Including the dance crowd. Dancing sucks. It makes me envy cripples.

  • I actually think Miley Cyrus is quite talented, she just performs (in my opinion) subpar songs. I was really impressed with her performance of "Jolene" (here).
  • Maybe this isn't so unpopular, but I mainly see people shit talking them (including in this thread) so I'll say it here anyway: Green Day is my favorite band.
  • I don't particularly enjoy Bradley Cooper's acting. Like I don't have anything against him and he's been in some good movies but I'm just tired of seeing him?
  • In response to the pop music discussion going on in here: 2014 was a great year for pop music. And that's not usually my thing.

That's all I got. eh.

Clearly an unpopular opinion here but I think music taste is subjective and instead of putting so much energy into hating things (eg pop music) people should understand that different people have different tastes and that doesn't mean that anyone is superior based on their tastes. Just like with movies for example, some people prefer rom coms, others like action movies. Some like artsy movies, others prefer more standard Hollywood blockbusters. Just because something exists doesn't mean that it needs to please everyone, and just because it doesn't please you, doesn't mean that it's objectively bad.

Winter February 19th, 2015 10:37 PM

I'm pretty sure this is an unpopular opinion or way of thinking but I don't like the idea of comparing artists together regardless of them being in the same genre, generation, etc. I know that I hate to be compared to someone else and so I don't do the same. If you think Artist A is better than B in doing something like dancing for example, that's fine for having an opinion but I don't think anyone has a right to use such a comparison (that is also unfair because that's like comparing apples to oranges. Are you going to put down the orange for not being red enough?) to put down someone or use it an excuse to attack them personally. There are other better and more mature and constructive ways to go about criticizing someone than merely saying "you're bad because XYZ does it better."

Rest February 20th, 2015 1:21 AM

Music and film-related stuff.
  • A lot of people seemed to hate on the fact that The Streets' Original Pirate Material was The Guardian's choice for the greatest album of the decade ('00-'09) in their list, notably above albums like Kid A, Funeral and Untrue. Personally, I have no qualms with it. It's, frankly speaking, a stroke of lyrical genius, the beats are eccentric yet so fitting, and it's one of the best works of the UK garage genre without a doubt. If I had to make a similar best-of list, I'd put it above Radiohead's Kid A any day as well.
  • Green Day recorded one of my favorite albums of the previous decade in American Idiot.
  • Birdman and Whiplash are good films but they aren't as incredible as people tout them to be.
  • Gone Girl is incredibly underrated.
  • I loved Into the Woods.
  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier > Guardians of the Galaxy any day.
  • Paul Thomas Anderson's best film thus far ain't There Will Be Blood or The Master. It's Boogie Nights.
  • The common notion is that Aphex Twin's Syro was the best electronic album of 2014. It really, really wasn't.
  • I will never vibe with Donald Glover as a rapper like most people can. I love the guy but I can't not see him as anyone else but Troy Barnes. I've listened to Because the Internet once and I kept imagining Troy the Community character rapping and it was very distracting.
  • Daft Punk's Random Access Memories may be well-made but it's bland as all shit and doesn't deserve all of its praises.
  • People seem to like it but Panda Bear's new album PBMTGR is a huge mess.
  • There were a lot of emo LPs that were lauded last year but personally, 2014 was a barebones year for emo I thought. Some of my favorite emo acts like Joyce Manor and Empire! Empire! put out really disappointing follow-ups to their previous albums, not to mention many of the debut LPs from newer acts. Only Two Knights, The Hotelier and Human Hands came close to scratching my genre itch.
  • I like Taylor Swift's music quite a bit (though looking through this thread, it's no longer an unpopular opinion lol).

Megan February 20th, 2015 2:46 AM

- Hype in every form, which also includes people who get on the hype train, only to complain afterwards, because the thing they hyped so much didn't become what they wanted it to be. Those people should really be ashamed of themselves...
- the term "Poketuber"; like reall: do you feel so special for making Pokemon related content, that you have to call yourself that? I've never heard of Zeldatubers, Minecrafttubers, Final Fantasy-tubers and whatever else is popular. You're just a Youtuber, who does Pokemon related content and nothing more.
- modern stuff is just so generic, every song's the same, every game plays like every other game from the same genre and in order to make new stuff, people recycle older things to the point where those get generic, too

It's like in your face here I am synthesizer cheesy lyrics high pitched childlike sounds. 80's music SCREAMS that it's from the 80's. It wants you to know and it doesn't want you to forget.

My sister loves the 80's overall and is always popping in some Cindy Lauper CDs in her car and they sound so atrocious. Not all music from the 80's is terrible, but there's a lot that stands out, shows its age (which is worse because that takes away from making it a timeless song), and just isn't good.

Yeah... The 80s had such a definitive style of pop/rock, and it's not a kind of pop I like at all. From the awful drum machines, the massive over-use of cheesy synthesizers, to that particular way they distorted the sound of the electric guitar/bass, it all just... Ew. Like how did we go from the 70s to that?

Other decades you put together for a radio station and they work just fine (like the 60s/70s), but then throw in the 80s and it sticks out like a sore thumb. Literally, because it's painful. lol. It's such an awkward decade. Usually I could forgive it and laugh at the cheesiness, but not as of late, when every Oldies station I find to listen to starts pushing the 80s into their mix, or when at work, the person who has control over the radio plays the same two 80s playlists (both including some of the same awful songs such as "We Built This City on Rock and Roll") multiple times a shift, I can no longer just laugh.

Of course, there's good music in the 80s, and there's bad music in the 60s/70s... But I generally find 60s/70s hits much less grating.

Chicago demonstrates all too perfectly the difference, too:

70s:


80s (*gags*):

honey I wasn't saying that
I was making a point of how there's often a high amount of misogyny from people in the camps I was exaggerating for comedic effect. If I were to make a point with no comedic intent whatsoever, I would say that many people tend to glorify the oh-so-deep white man on a guitar while denigrating everything and anything pop girls have to offer, because they see everything they produce as vapid or insipid while lifting up the often quite average guitar guy. If I were to make a point without any personal input whatsoever, I would state that the heavy metal community is known for the high levels of misogyny from many in the community.
I wasn't saying that everyone in these camps are explicitly sexist, but simply stating that there are higher percentages of members who are sexist/misogynistic compared to other music communities.

Well, people don't hate pop music because the singers are female. That being said, plenty of pop music is pretty damned sexist. Remember the blurred lines fiasco? What about pop musicians treating themselves as sex objects, and proudly proclaiming themselves "bad bitches?" Look at how many teenagers today go around flaunting how they are "bitches" and not having any real goals in life other than being skimpy girls that go around sleeping with guys, risking teen pregnancy and literally wrecking their own lives because celebrities say "it's cool". There was a point where mainstream rock was all about that, but it's much more subtle and much less prominent then what you see in today's top 40 music. Just look at that train wreck Miley Cyrus and her music videos.

Nihilego February 20th, 2015 11:25 AM

Attack on the female sexuality? I'm not putting that exclusively to females, people should have a sense of modesty whether male or female. Fuck males that go around and treat females as good for nothing objects of sex. What the top 40 musicians are doing are giving perverted, abusive men what they want, making girls into sex slaves. Life isn't about going around and impregnating everyone you see.

Anyways, someone should make a new topic about this if they'd like.

gonna comment on these opinions (good opinions btw).

1) I love Birdman but could EASILY see why someone would hate it. Whiplash's climax got a lot of praise which confused me because I thought it was by far the worst part of the film and really hammy. but everything else was great, imo.
2) Gone Girl is amazing. when people say it's just a lurid, pulpy thriller I think they're totally missing the point. it's fucking scathing. it goes off-the-rails but it doesn't do it for its own sake. so basically, yeah, it's underrated. probably my favorite of Fincher's.
3) I agree, Guardians could produce some excellent sequels but this'un was kind of exposition-y, and Winter Soldier is probably my favorite Marvel movie yet.
4) I agree to an extent: it's not There Will Be Blood or The Master (which is easily his weakest, in my opinion -- it looks incredible and the acting is incredible but it's devoid of much substance), but Magnolia, man. that one's easily my favorite. once you get past the 650 layers of mawkish sentiment, of course, but I love that kind of thing Soooooooo. imo, Magnolia > There Will Be Blood > Boogie Nights > Inherent Vice > Punch-Drunk Love > The Master. (I haven't seen Sydney)
5) agreed hard. it's GOOD but it's boilerplate Aphex stuff. give me any of his studio albums over it any day. or Windowlicker. or Come to Daddy.
6) I was with you about Never Hungover Again until very recently -- now it's coming close to my favorite Joyce Manor album (and their s/t is probably in my top 10 ever). I thought the new one was really far too poppy and lost a lot of edge, but man, check out Falling in Love Again or Catalina Fight Song or Schley (which I really hated in particular the first time around, I thought the way he yelled SCHLEEYYWYEEYYe was super cheesy but now FUCK I love it). I'm not sure what happened to me but man. I love that album now. E!E!'s was super boring, I agree. and The Hotelier was probably my AOTY of last year, seeing them live was a REligious Experience.

and all the people dissing Taylor Swift, I don't really have a comeback to yo shit, you either love her kind of thing or you don't (and Red is her best album yet probably).

also to comment on the ages old MUSIC IS SUBJECTIVE thing. I agree, but discussing music would not be nearly as rewarding if the second anyone disagreed, they were just like O IT'S SUBJECTIVE ANYWAY YOLO LET'S NOT CONTINUE THIS. and I think there is SOME level of objectivity in art -- you can't argue that, say, The Room is a better movie than, iunno, uh, The Matrix (stupid example but idk). but I mean, it's not impossible for someone to prefer The Room to The Matrix. I don't know what I'm saying.

Nihilego February 20th, 2015 1:52 PM

@ Syro discussion I feel like, while he is genuinely very good, Aphex Twin's name is used as a buzzword for people who don't really know electronic music all that well. Definitely Syro was pretty poor - it felt more like a technical exercise in "look at my oddly arranged bleeps" than anything actually that good. There were very few moments that were actually special in it. It was technically impressive but... that's nothing new for Aphex Twin. I didn't find it very entertaining beyond the initial "oh that's cool" and it kinda feels like a Random Access Memories v2 to me (in that it's not very special but still being hailed as amazing by people who don't really know what else is out there - although I personally feel like RAM was 10x worse than Syro), although that in itself is a ~controversial opinion~.

I'll just say it, I thought Superman Returns was a very good movie. And yes, I thought it was better than Man of Steel. I don't think Man of Steel was bad, I just thought Superman Returns was better. Man of Steel's trailer was one of the best I've ever scene, and I guess it got hyped so much I was expecting something mindblowing... not that. It was ok, maybe good. But that's about it.

Most american/canadian pop punk bands are absolute crap. Don't hate me for this lol... just hear me out. I know back then I was one of them, but I grew out of that phase kind of late. A majority of the fans are people who think that the music by these bands has saved their lives. It can get rather annoying because it's just music. I guess if it's something they relate well to then... yeah. I'm at the stage where I could careless about whether it saves lives or not. I just don't really give a fuck about them anymore. *shrug* In all honesty, the only thing I care about is J-metal and PelleK...

I couldn't figure out how to get it out lol. :(

Bob Dylan lol. I hate that plane song. And to be fair, Bob Dylan has already said he can't sing. In an interview long ago, someone told him he couldn't sing and he acknowledged it with some witty remark that I can't remember. So I mean...he's aware lol. I personally think he's got a nice voice that suits his musical style.

It's a really fun album, though. Girl knows how to entertain, that's for sure. I can jam to it all day, everyday. A lot of the songs are SOOOO great for hooping too but idk how many of y'all hoop lol. Alt-J even used a sample from 4x4 off that album in their latest album. It's great.

The pokemon anime is becoming worst. I watched XY and I still love it just as much as the Indigo league. I din't think they "ran out of ideas", it's still a great anime, and I still watch it every time a new episode comes out. it annoys me that people just go with one opinion.

I'm probably one of the few people who sees lyrics as senses of emotion. I could just go on and on about how deep some actually are and how big of an impact they serve to me.

Just like with movies for example, some people prefer rom coms, others like action movies. Some like artsy movies, others prefer more standard Hollywood blockbusters. Just because something exists doesn't mean that it needs to please everyone, and just because it doesn't please you, doesn't mean that it's objectively bad.

This is the best post on this thread.
and I guess I'm faux deep too! lel

Skyrim was too slow paced and boring. I think I may have just grown out of the TES games.

I also don't watch TV or movies with the exception of basketball. Which brings me to my next one:
Hockey isn't all that great and is pretty boring (for me). <-Note, I'm Canadian so most people I know love it. So this is an unpopular opinion from where I am. :S

3 months later I'm bumping this because it's a good thread

trust me from a US citi it's a pretty unpopular opinion, too. my friends (and I don't even live in the north, so I'm none too sure how justified this is or not) get super upset at me when I diss hockey, and not even the uncalled for "diss", as if I'm disrespecting the sport or something, but just a passive wave of the hand because I don't like it much. it's a pretty hot topic here o_o
