Popular things you don't like?

[Tripper]

Are there things that everybody seems to like that you just don't understand at all?

I have this with things like Harry Potter, High School Musical, the reality like shows like Big Brother. I just don't like them, but most people really seem to.

Ugly Betty is a popular TV show which lots of people talk about, I do not like it. I also don't like The Office, which also has this cult following that seems to make loads of people I know like it. I just don't find it funny, didn't like the British original either.

I HATE text speak. It irritates me more than actual words can say.

I also never found The Office (Uk or US) funny. Or Friends. I hate big Brother with a passion, and I've never seen High School Musical (nor do I want to).

I also cannot stand things like American Idol/Pop Idol. I think it is just encouraging a whole generation to not *try* to make something of themselves either educationally or socially as they believe that fame and fortune will just *drop* into their laps with little to no effort, and I find the premise of giving people hope in such a thing then broadcasting them on TV to ridicule them (and the harsh comments that go along with it) as deeply sad and I cannot understand how anyone could derive enjoyment from that.

I hate EMO....

Twilight. It's not that I don't like it, actually. It's just that I fail to see the interest in it being that the story is nothing new. But I don't knock anyone for liking it, you know?
