Post-Grunge or whatever it's called. The "Theory of Saving Benjamin's Pudddle of Seething HinderShineBack in Three Days" bands. It seems those bands are either whining about how their lives suck or that the trailer park meth whore they're currently banging is cheating on them(maybe if you guys stopped screwing the town bicycle you wouldn't be cheated on all the time. Just throwing that out there).

I don`t get
Rap/garage/rave/death metal
Why anyone could find Russel Brand funny
Why people indulge in console fanboy wars
Synchronised swimming
How anyone could doubt the brilliance of Little Big Planet
Why anyone would care about the private lives of celebrities
Why anyone would watch Big Brother
Why the world`s governments don`t get together and use all the money they have to bring dinoasaurs back to life.
And why people are now using 'then' instead of 'than'!

Same with the Saw thing. Each sequel is just the same damn thing as the last one.

Tatoos. Especially when they're just words in some random language like Chinese or something. Do these people actually think that it's cool and mysterious to draw words in another language on themselves? They also look ugly and you see the same damn cliches all the time. Skulls, dragons, barbed wire, yin and yang, previously mentioned writing from another language, etc. Also, I've noticed that the people who get them are usually chodes. I've had good and evil (in kanji) tattoo'd on my wrists since around '97. And yes, I did my homework on it. No, I don't think it's mysterious, but they do have meaning for me. But what do I know..I'm apparently a choad. As am I for having a skull. |

With hippies, it's all about bathing. And wearing tie-dye moo-moos. If hippies took showers and wore decent clothes, I'd have no problem. Wow, wasn't aware that I was a dirty bum  |

What passes for comedy these days...especially in movies.

Things I don't "get" or could care less for: Texting- If your between the ages of 14-23/24, this is the only way you know how to communicate with other forms of intelligent life. In the time it takes you to essentially write 4 or 5 texts, I could have said the exact same thing over the phone with the person in 12 seconds. Seriously, thousands of texts per month!?!? I hate cell phones in general. Macs/Tree-hugging hippie Mac-lovers....90%(probably more) of the world has a PC. Probably 80 of the top 100 songs on ITUNES at any given time. Current "popular" music sure does suck these days. I don't get why people hate people texting. Are you that annoyed by it? Or is it because you can't read what they're writing therefore not knowing what they're texting about? I also don't get Apple bashing. To me it's the same as emo bashing. Sure, there are annoying snobby mac users, but they're in the minority. People bitching about the current trend in music or just current music in general and praising how good music was in the good old days. People constantly trash him. How the f*** is he popular? If anything "bashing John Cena" is a popular thing I don't get. I don't think she was bashing John Cena, just saying she didn't his appeal. Other popular things I don't get: _bashing people because they don't have the same lifestyle as you. Emos, Hippies, Gays, ... what did they ever do to deserve so much hate? "Boohoo! I've got to tolerate someone who doesn't view life the same way as I do!" . I totally agree with you on that one! I don`t get Synchronised swimming Since when is THAT popular?! |

*How TRANSFORMERS 2 managed to be the worst film in ages, yet somehow simultaneously, one of the most popular. Does quality count for nothing these days?
*TWILIGHT, and the constant comparisons of Stephanie Meyer to JK Rowling. I...no. One of them writes Mary-Sue fanfiction tinged with Mormon overtones, while the other writes actual, you know, literature for young adults.
*How the HELL Friedberg and Seltzer are allowed to keep making movies.
*Why the HELL they still call it MTV, despite 97% of the programming on that channel being GARBAGE reality bullcrap, and only 3% being devoted to music in any way, shape or form?
*Why the US, for the life of us, cannot turn out a horror movie nearly as good as what comes out of Japan, Europe, or Asia. Just about the WORST Tartan Asia Extreme movie is twice the horror movie that we here in the states plop out. Seriously....what's come out over here that's been original, scary, or both, in the last ten years? I count more Asian remakes, and classic horror remakes than anything. What, HATCHET? Seriously...what is there? We, as a culture, seem to simply have run out of good stories to tell.
*Why the hell I have to be assailed by three yards of paperwork to buy a videogame from GameStop, or a coffee from Starbucks. No, I don't want your credit card/magazine/frequent renters card/preferred or Reward card....I just want my coffee/game and I'll be out of your hair. No, I don't want to sign up for email alerts, and no, I don't give two smooth, rich and tasty f***s about your Twitter accounts. JUST. GIVE. ME. MY. GAME/COFFEE.

Lady Gaga
Lame college rock. Seriously, have you seen some of the "press releases" trying to describe the crap that comes into the station I work at? Why can't these pretentious jokes just give me an idea of WHAT THE BAND IS and not drone on and on about nothingness?

As for the person complaining about how hippies dress, at least they're consistent and if you have an open mind like I do, you can find room to appreciate jam music.

Why can't these pretentious jokes just give me an idea of WHAT THE BAND IS and not drone on and on about nothingness? Lady Gaga's music is tolerable to me. I mean, it's got a nice beat and I can see how some folks would dance to it. Especially if high on ecstacy at a club, but that's neither here nor there. You know another thing I don't get? Why in the world studios still want to work with Lindsay Lohan. They hear nothing but horror stories about what a bitch she is to work with, and how horrible of a person she is...but they still bring her on to do movies. Granted, her latest is going straight to the ABC Family channel, but still. That kind of person should not be getting work AT ALL. She's not going to change...so why waste money on her? |

people who feel the need to drop F-bombs every 5 seconds.
Went to a concert with some people I went to college with. Every other word was the F-bomb. Got annoying very quickly.

But...Tony Stark IS an asshole! I hate emos because they're all "Boohoo, I hate my life because my parents love me and are able to afford my designer stretchy girl pants." My problem is, Emo-bashers call Emo crybabies... yet they are MUCH bigger whiners as they apparently can't spend 5 minutes without bitching about how Emos are apparently ruining their lives. Look, I do understand it can be annoying to hear people complain about unimportant stuff, but here's an idea: stop listening to them and stop reading their f'n blogs/MySpaces/Facebooks/whatever. Nobody forces Emo-bashers to read them. On the other hand, Emo-bashers do force themselves onto others. Seriously, whenever I dodge one, it's only to stumble into another one. Also, Emo-bashers have a tendency to call anyone who complains about anything Emo. Seriously, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if I read/heard something like "what? You got raped by an AIDS infected guy? Cry me a f'n river, Emo kid!" With hippies, it's all about bathing. And wearing tie-dye moo-moos. If hippies took showers and wore decent clothes, I'd have no problem. I... really don't see the problem with the clothing. I mean, how does it affect non-Hippies in any way? And the bathing thing is as accurate as saying French people wear berets while playing pétanque and eating bread all day long. (And while I'm at it, very few Hippies actually do drugs. Heck, even during the 70s and late 60s, Hippies weren't taking more drugs than anyone else) I mean, my biggest problem isn't even that people dislike them, but Emos, Hippies, Gays, Goths, etc... heck, even Satanists, are despised out of incredibly inaccurate stereotypes and people who trash them often don't know jacks*** about what they're really like (I especially love how many people treat Emos and Goths as the exact same whereas they're actually polar opposites). Miley Cyrus and the pedos who worship her. Yyyyyyeaah... because it's common knowledge that the average Miley Cyrus fan is an adult male. I don't think she was bashing John Cena, just saying she didn't his appeal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she is trashing him, but that he really isn't popular, so his inclusion didn't make sense in my opinion, and that many people which may or may not include her bash him for questionnable (or at least exaggerated) reasons. |
