Everyone has their likes and dislikes. And sometimes, you just look at something and say "How the heck is this popular?!"

So...anything that is popular with lots of people but just annoys the crap out of you? Why does it annoy the crap out of you?

For me, its Vocaloid. In my opinion, I think Vocaloid is used by pretentious weaboos who are too lazy and stupid to learn how to sing and/or learn japanese. All you do is punch in words and the damn thing sings it for you! And yet all the users praise themselves as if they actually did something of value. The voices are way to high pitched and annoying. A cheese grater on a chalkboard sounds like Mozart compared to this!!


Now of course these are all just my opinions, and if you take it as some kind of attack on you, thats just hilarious and sad at the same time.
So, I stated my waaay to long opinion, what about yours? No need to feel ashamed, speak your mind!
And don't worry, you aren't a hipster. You're only a hipster if you shove it in everyone's face like you just solved world hunger or something.

EDIT: Please only use this thread to talk about C&M related things that you find annoying. Politics/societal stuff is more befitting for OC&D. Thanks.

inb4 a ton of people saying MLP. Haters.
Homestuck is one thing I could never understand why it's so popular. I tried to get into it, but I honestly found it boring.
Glee. I use to be a fan of it, but the amount drama in it got to the point where I didn't care. Also they ruin pretty good songs.

One Direction - the only reason they're so big is because tween and teen-girls think they look "cute". Otherwise, they're not really special in my opinion. Just another corporate boy band.
Twilight- I read the first book, liked it, but then got bored with the second one halfway through. Then the fact that it spawned like hundreds of other vampire love story carbon copies like True Blood and Vampire Diaries. I'm just really tired of seeing all these vampire shows/movies in general.
I'm sure I have lots more, but that's all I can think of for now.

Justin Bieber also can be added there.
Also ;
Twilight - Like awsquared said for one direction the only reason they're so big is because teen girls think edward is ''cute''.Before this film was released Vampires were scary not sparkling.When i watched Twilight for the first time i was about to like but then i saw Edward sparkling.Is that even a vampire?

Justin Bieber - Again the only reason they're so big is because teen girls think she (yes, she) is looking cute.The first song i heard by justin was baby.It's only like baby baby baby ooh baby baby.Lol so original?Not.It took 5 people to write it.Lol.

Yyyyyep. Most Sonic fanshippers are really, really, really stupid people. I'm fine with stuff like SonicxAmy, SonicxSally. You know, the usual. But then theres...the Sonic yaoi croud...
SonicxShadow.
SONICXTAILS. JUST...WHYYYYYYYYYYY

The ironic thing is that most of the Sonic gay couple shippers are actually IRL homophobes, shoving their religion in yer face!

Along with SonicxShadow, there are the ones that are just creepy and don't make sense!
Like...TailsXRouge...
Sonic fans make me sick...

Anyway...

I find most mainstream music crap. Most of it is rap, dubstep, and Reannah crap. I find most VG music better, mainly because it can range from orchestral to techno all the way to 16-bit awesomeness. Most of them have no lyrics. When they do, they're actually pretty good.

There's a lot of mainstream music that's popular that I don't tend to like.. mostly I guess because the songs are catchy.. but because of that, they are repetitive. I have to be in a certain mood for that, I guess.. and even then I tend to like something less mainstream for some reason. If I hear it so much around me it stops being fun, and just becomes part of the background of every day life.

Some movies too.. like.. The Avengers. Maybe it's because I haven't watched it yet but.. it's crazy popular and I just can't get into loving it as much as everyone else.

Jersey Shore.

Seriously, it is embarrassing to those who are at least PART Italian! Like me!

Also... Rap Music from 2004 onwards. It was much more tolerable and sense-making in the 90s. Seriously. I get offended by their blatant use of the "N-Word", even though I am white. WHY DON'T KIDS THESE DAYS LIKE SLIPKNOT OR DISTURBED OR ANY OTHER KIND OF METAL?!

Dubstep - This isn't even music. It's just random screeches and beeps set to a rhythm.

My Little Pony - I don't get it. Watched an episode, hated it.

Hunger Games - It's vapid, juvenile, poorly written, and based around a cliche love triangle. Sorry, but I'll stick to Asimov and Wells for my sci-fi.

Hetalia - Racist, xenophobic humor at it's worst.

I find COD fun when I'n playing with my buddies. But, I want it to die, not because of the fanboys, but because of the ANTI FANBOYS. You know what I'm talking about, brain dead Nintendo fanboys who say everyone who even gets the slightest enjoyment out of COD is a die hard fanboy! They're mostly just children who think its cool to hate Call of Duty and praise any other game that isn't an FPS.



But i also agree with COD game is too overrated you can have no skill in gaming or shooters but excel at the game...
Wait...how doesn't it require skill? Explain yourself.

Yeah ahaha thats so funny never heard that before hahha youre so clever

Most of the stuff Disney has put on it crap. I never liked Phinieas and Ferb. Its too stupid for me. Seriously, all the stupid sister needs to do is get the thing on camera! She even tries that once, but fails. THEN DO IT AGAIN YOU BIMBO.

Speaking of Disney films, I can't stand Pocahontas. Can't stand it one bit. Its just sooo ungodly boring compared to the other Disney movies. First time I watched, couldn't even stay awake for the first 20 minutes. Recently, I watched it again. This is quite possibly The most boring movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I hate how it portrays the white guys as devil spawn while the Natives look like the perfect people. Some of the stupider fans actually believe the Natives HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG AND ARE TOTALLY IN TOUCH WITH NATURE AND STUFF.

A lot of things that are popular, I find particularly annoying. One of the most annoying things to me is Jersey Shore. All it is is showing a bunch of people hanging out in bars, getting drunk, getting tanned, and all around acting like a bunch of idiots. I am so glad I don't have cable, so I'm not exposed to this crap (although over-the-air antenna TV has enough crap on it as it is already!)
Also, celebrities that are constantly on drugs, or alcoholic, or otherwise always involved in some kind of scandal-I get so sick of the constant media coverage that goes to the point of glorifying of these kind of people.

I was just about to say Snooki's pregnancy is annoying, but Jersey Shore in general covers it. I just don't understand it. Or Flo Rida. Leave Sia alone, bro. I find most radio trash to be quite annoying though. And Directioners. Really one-upping the Beliebers as "Most Annoying Fanbase" ever.

I find COD fun when I'n playing with my buddies. But, I want it to die, not because of the fanboys, but because of the ANTI FANBOYS. You know what I'm talking about, brain dead Nintendo fanboys who say everyone who even gets the slightest enjoyment out of COD is a die hard fanboy!

Do you blame them when everyone calls them children and thinks of them as less of gamers because they don't play monotonous FPSes? I digress though. That's a topic for another forum entirely.

Apple's iProducts as of late. Being perfectly honest, the iPhone is overly expensive compared to its competitors, the iPad made very miniscule changes between its second and third iterations, and the iPod after it went touch screen has honestly not stopped at being a disappointment for me given its price and hype. I can to a degree understand a Macbook, but in terms of their more portable devices, I see no substantial appeal other than the fact that they bear the Apple logo. Apple fanboys for the sake of being cool also irritate the hell out of me, simply because most of the ones I come across act like they're so superior to everyone else and like they know everything.

I honestly just dislike most broadcast media these days. It's lacking in originality aside from the occasional gems, the news honestly isn't news anymore, and reality television and degrading, generally empty music is the norm and honestly setting a bad example for the younger (and even our current) generation. Most movies and video games and books are fine that I come across, but the television and things shown on it really don't appeal to me hardly at all and are in fact very off-putting.

I am also going to say that I dislike CoD, and I'll provide very clear reasons as to why: first, the combat/gameplay system itself is broken. All you need to do thanks to killstreaks and the levelling system is get lucky or pair up with someone of a lower level and you're set. It is designed to award staying alive and praises those who've played longer while forsaking the novice players. Additionally, the controls and gameplay itself is also watered down to where a person can generally do well just by being fairly articulate with their hands and button mashing, something that really shouldn't happen in a shooter of any sort. The graphics, physics, weapons, etc. have all barely changed or haven't since Modern Warfare came out, and because they come out so often, they lack generally good, fun, NEW content. Those're my reasons for disliking CoD.

I... probably have more, but those are the biggies I can come up with off the top of my head at almost 1am :x

Justin Bieber - Again the only reason they're so big is because teen girls think she (yes, she) is looking cute.
Upon hearing such a fantastic joke, the entire audience of the famed Apollo Theatre rises to their feet and gives Wild Entei a standing ovation. People wipe the tears of laughter away from their eyes, couples must rely on their significant others for support, for the joke that was just uttered is making them laugh so hard their muscles are going into spasm. The next act, Joan Rivers, starts maniacally laughing to such a degree that her face starts to fall apart layer by layer. First the botox & collagen starts coming out her eyes and her surgically enhanced face starts falling apart at the seams. Despite the great pain she is in, she cannot stop laughing. She eventually loses control and starts rolling around on the floor, her face banging into the feet of passerby and soon all the muscles are torn off her face by the degree in which her fit of laughter has caused her to deliver such trauma to her face. She dies, her final thought being of just how funny that joke was. By this point, half an hour later, oxygen is starting to run low in the room due to the obscene amount of laughter and several members of the audience have heart attacks, but yet they keep on laughing. Somehow, a person in the audience managed to send a short video of what was going on to CNN and Fox News and bigoted reporters from Fox News are already debating Obama's role in this. Obama would have responded, but after seeing footage of the by now world famous joke by Wild Entei, Obama has an aneurysm and dies, while Vice President Joe Biden is sworn in immediately after. Comedic legends Bob Hope and Lucille Ball rise from the dead in order to go to the Apollo Theatre and shake the hand of surely the greatest comedic mastermind ever to walk the earth. Lucille Ball admits that nothing she had ever written or acted out on I Love Lucy, one of the most beloved shows in television history, was anywhere as funny as what Wild Entei just said. Bob Hope cannot speak for he is in pure awe of Wild Entei. Justin Bieber himself hears word of the joke and upon seeing it being said on CNN, Fox, BBC as well as every other major news network in the world, goes under gender reassignment surgery to become Justine Biebra and later in life, the greatest opera singer who ever lived. Wild Entei leaves the now deoxygenated room, using the skull of Lucille Ball as a crude breathing apparatus and walks out onto the boulevard, newly sworn in President Joe Biden gives him the Presidential Medal of Freedom for services to comedy and promptly names Wild Entei 'The Comedian of a Thousand Milennia'. World peace is declared and Wild Entei breathes a breath of self-satisfaction.

As it happens to be, I am not a fan of Justin Bieber either. But, upon hearing a couple of tracks from Believe, I'd say he's gotten better in the four years since he first came to prominence. Sure, the 'swag, swag, swag on you' line isn't exactly up there in musics most eloquently written lyrics, but he's gotten better. He's still being marketed towards teenage girls, but he's being marketed in a such a way that it's not cringe inducing, like his One Time era. As I said before, I'm still not a fan, but I'm tolerating him more.

However, One Direction and their CRAZY fanbase are just deplorable. I think that word can be used in this situation, no? They're cute and that's all they have going for them, despite what the fanbase may say. I'm not going to rant about the fanbase in this post, but they are by far the worst fanbase in the world right now, surpassing the Gleeks, the Sherlock Holmes babes (idk what they call themselves) and even the Beliebers. God, they're terrible.

A fanbase worse than Glee?

I'm gonna look out my window and better see some pigs flyin'.
Well, it all comes down to matter of opinion, really. Let's take a walk down memory lane, back to when Glee was the hip, hot, new thing that teenage girls had been craving. Glee-mania was at it's peak, and to be honest, I was a Gleek back then too. My point is, Glee doesn't have the worst fanbase and although I'd love to say that the One Direction fanbase is the worst, no fanbase is worse than the other. One Direction fanaticism is at it's peak right now; therefore, it is considered the worst, just like how Glee was considered the worst fanbase ever back in 2009. Do you get what I'm trying to say?
