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.

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 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.

  • 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.

GhostTrainer February 19th, 2015 2:50 PM

I actually love American Horror Story Freakshow, however I can't stand Dandy. I also didn't like Murder House.

This reminds me just how crappy and uninspired pop music is.

Her February 19th, 2015 3:08 PM

also the current state of pop music is honestly not that bad
this thread is seriously the town from footloose do I have to be kevin bacon and save you from yourselves

maccrash February 19th, 2015 3:09 PM

this isn't unpopular in Real Life but I think Taylor Swift is awesome

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.

Well, at least you admit it's mindless.

maccrash February 19th, 2015 3:51 PM

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)

Sir Codin February 19th, 2015 3:55 PM

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

modern pop music certainly is engineered towards the party scene but it gets such irrational hate at times
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 can guarantee you that alcohol + top 40 music is not a bad combination

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.
