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. |
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. |
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!!!!!" |
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. |
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.
|
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. |
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. |
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.
|
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. |
Would this count? I despise unpopular opinions in general. You are not a special snowflake if you hate something that's well-loved; therefore, this thread should have never been made.
|
american horror story is shit that turned into crumbly white dog shit by season 4
|
Game of Thrones. Can people just please stop crazing over that boring show.
|
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.
|
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. |

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

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. |
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. |

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. |
Taylor Swift is such a waste of talent and I wish she made more music like this instead of the garbage she makes now.
|
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. |
this new Drake album is his best yet and my favorite release of 2015 so far.
|
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. |
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. |
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. |
Hmm... Lessee...
I will come back and edit this later :pink_tongue: |
Quote:
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. |
|
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. |
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)
|
Quote:
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. |
I actually love American Horror Story Freakshow, however I can't stand Dandy. I also didn't like Murder House.

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)
|
You don't need pop music to cut loose and have fun. That's why God gave us alcohol.

not to mention the alarming amount of misogyny from the 'I listen to very loud scratchy metal or a white guy playing faux-deep lyrics on a guitar therefore I am above all things fun' crowd it's just like chill |

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. |

Her music is terrible lol. |
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.
|
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."
|
Music and film-related stuff.
|
- 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 |
Quote:
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*): |

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. |

why does everything have to be a sexist issue
unpopular opinion (although most people probably won't have an opinion on this one at all): OK Computer is nowhere near Radiohead's best album. |
Quote:
Anyways, someone should make a new topic about this if they'd like. |
Quote:
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. |
@ 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~.

Don't like something? Claim it's misogynistic or sexist and anyone who argues otherwise is a woman-hating, sexist, cis white male scumbag who deserves to die for being a cis white male and MUH PRIVILEGES. |
The Big Bang Theory is HILARIOUS.
Reading through this thread that seems to be an unpopular opinion. Also I stand by Miss Congeniality 2 being a great film. |
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.

here's an attack on disney:
frozen got way too much hype and tangled is wayy better. the songs from frozen are much better sung in spanish. the commercials for maleficent were seriously misleading. |

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've only ever heard one truly great pop punk band, and it's Joyce Manor

Boyhood should have won Best Picture over Birdman last night at the Oscars, imo.

I don't care for the walking dead. As Alli said earlier in the thread I don't care for the whole zombie/undead craze as a whole.
Idk how popular this is, but I can't stand the show The Voice or really any kind of music show like that. Never got into American Idol either. |
I highly dislike David Bowie and think that people worship him far too much.
|
I think pretty much all "indie rock" is incredibly boring; even the bands that get loads of acclaim like Arcade Fire, The Strokes Modest Mouse, Wilco, Weezer etc. I don't like any of them, just doesn't appeal to me at all.

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. |
like I love Bob Dylan to death but...... shit like this happens a lot for him. his studio stuff is absolutely incredible but from what I've seen of his live stuff he's just not a good singer. more power to him though. he's been around for 50+ years.

I'm currently suffering through Hot Rod. It seems like a lot of people liked this movie?
Stupidest thing I've seen. And my favourite movies are Austin Power ones and Monty Python (Life of Brian, Holy Grail, Meaning of Life) :pink_no: so I know dumb-witty-wtf humour, and this Hot Rod movie is just... awful. |
adventure time is obnoxious.
gravity falls isn't that interesting. family guy is funny. chowder isn't funny. taylor swift makes great music. miley cyrus also makes great music. :I |
Game of Thrones is an extremely boring series to watch and/or read.
Marvel is better than DC. (no comic war intended) Assassin's Creed 4 was better than 2. Every song that has lyrics is unacceptable to play publicly on loudspeakers. I've gotten sworn at A LOT of times for that last rule. "UGHHHH POP MUSICCCC WHYYYY" is all my mind internally screams at me XD |
Yeah I gotta come back to this and say I love Miley Cyrus' music. Bangerz is fucking great. It's not deep or lyrically the greatest thing ever and doesn't have the greatest compositions or anything. 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.

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 |
