Popular things you don't like?

[Bilkis]

Me too. I don't want to insult anybody, but it think it's for little girls and it's kind of strange that so many girls over twenty are into it.

Also I don't like the Mormon backround the author seems to be communicating-

Sorry.

[Maximal]

being a jerk off of a human being. hey, its popular!

[atheles]

Twilight

Harry Potter

Saw - any part. Shame to call it a movie.

Grey's Anatomy

Desperate Housewives

and reality shows. Bah.

[x20mandor]

I absolutely agree on reality shows.If I want reality I will watch the news.

[atheles]

Exactly. Plus, one way or another, they all are scripted as well. And some are simply disgusting.

[Ant]

Apathy. Boxer shorts. Corruption (public officials). Dentists (doing check-ups unbridled malevolent intent). Everwood. Infra-red traffic speed-checking equipment. Queue-hoppers. Smoking (cigarettes/cigars). Tobacco.

Seriously though, I reckon Mzansi (RSA) could do with more caring and sharing folk doing less jeering and spearing of one another - violence is apparently the favoured/popular modern day response as soon as you don't get your way?! Boo!

[Bilkis]

Are apathy and corruption popular things? :-D

I don't like going out to partys... most people my age think that's strange so I guess it most be petty popular to go out. A good book and a cup of tea are so much more enjoyable to me!!!

[Dra.Cooper]

I agree with many of your responses.

In particular I don't like Big Brother, I don't understand how people can be watching the channel 24 hours there ... is boring!

Like all these books that are "bestsellers", like Twilight for instance, I think people exaggerate. It isn't as good as it's painted ... but "to taste the colors"

[georgebill]

I used to be apathetic, now I just can't be bothered.

[georgebill]

The culture of Celebrity.

It's so cheap these days, why do so many people care.

[SmartbutSlow]

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.

Well, somebody who finally agrees with me about American Idol. The rejection these people have to endure must be devastating. Not everyone is tough enough to swallow their pride. Maybe the people who enjoy the show never stuck their

neck out in their whole life to do something that might "ridicule" them or perhaps might have made them famous.....even for 15 minutes.

I always said, Leap and take the chance. I did and don't regret it.

[SpockItToMe]

I hate most things people like.

Number one on my list of things I hate that are obviously popular: billboard charts. HATE them. Most of the songs suck...

Also, I didn't like Avatar as much as everyone else. It was nice to look at, liked the way they made Pandora look, BUT the storyline is so incredibly old. Can't see why it's made so much money.

[georgebill]

I won't be watching Avatar. I prefer a warm, human touch. Something that will most likely make me cry, or laugh.

Avatar may be something different and an advance, but not for me.

PS. The American Idol suckers; don't they know what's going on.

[BlackWhiteRose]

I don`t like:

- Twilight ( I don`t know what other people find so great on this and sparkling vampires are so lame)
- Sex and The City (I`m a woman but I don`t like that show, they only talk about shopping, Sex and guys...thats so boring. Instead of I like shopping.)
- Greys Anatomy, Private Practise, Emergency Room (I never liked medizine shows ´cause they´re so strange sometimes I don`t know...and Im not interested in them.)
- High School Musical (I like musicals but not this one.)
- Titanic (First I thought that movie was sad and now I think its boring and that Song from Celine Dion is so annoying.)
- all Reality Shows (They just suck and noone needs that rubbish.)

- the movie Dirty Dancing ( I just don`t like these songs there and the whole story is so boring and lame)

[BillF63]

I really do not like much of contemporary music at all. I'm a 60s and 70s music lover mostly.

I don't care for Seinfeld, the office or most Medical or Crime dramas and the majority of reality shows with the exception of American Idol and the History Channel's show Pawn Stars.

I don't like South Park either.

[Hanna Wolowitz]

Everyone seems to be so obsessed with House.

I don't like it at all!

People really enjoy Cold Case, but I don't like it.

[Jess]

I don't like Coke, Gossip Girl, House Of Night series, Glee or Justin Bieber.

[totem]

I don't like Coke, Gossip Girl, House Of Night series, Glee or Justin Bieber.

Is that the drug or the carbonated beverage?

[Hanna Wolowitz]

Ohh yeah

I don't like Coke. (carbonated beverage)

I mean, if there's nothing else to drink, I'm not gonna be thirsty, but coke's definitely not my first option.

Justin Bieber is kinda lame, seriously.

Any and all 'reality' shows from all countries

[manikertamang]

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.

Same here dear..... I also just hate those movies and TV serial.....

[PrincessCharming]

Large breasts

Boys with no chest hair

Proactive

[Hanna Wolowitz]

Twilight

Large breasts

Boys with no chest hair

Proactive

I have large breasts... that was just mean!

But yeah, I agree! I love myself a hairy man!

[PianoWizzy]

Many pop culture things I just can't stand. Besides alcohol and drug abuse, and other sick, immoral, idiotic things, I'm sick of Glee. And shows like Survivor, or Bachelor, America's Next [or is it Top?] Model, Keeping up with the Kardashians [i don't care how you should spell that name], Bachelorette [same thing?!], etc. Oh and South Park. Aaaaand the Simpsons, Family Guy. Okay I can't list anymore or my head will hurt.

Books: Harry Potter, Twilight. BLECH to both. Oh, and anything else that ISN'T a *GOOD* sci-fi book [for example: Fahrenheit 451 is NOT a good sci-fi book at all. not a sci-fi book at all AT ALL. I need to repeat that.] or a biography of anyone I'm NOT interested in.

Movies: Harry Potter, Twilight, [hmm] and possibly some other things that are cliche and popular amongst the normal-people society.
