Tapout, Guidos, duckface poses and hipster glasses are already ridiculed. It's an aboslute given that in 20 years from now people will make fun of it in retro holovision shows.
I'm calling less obvious things that many people today accept as part of pop culture, but that will NOT have retro charm:
Movies & TV: Today's use of CGI. It will look cheesy like the CGI in Langoliers looks today.
Music: Talentless party electropop like 3oh3 (I don't know how these asshats are spelled and I don't give a f***), the bungholes who produced "sexy and I know it", those Asian rapper buttmonkeys, Katy Perry and Ke$ha will NOT be remembered as good music and most people will agree that "Oh yes, what were they thinking listening to utter crap like that?".
Many other things like some simple cartoons and TV series like "The Office" will be remembered as classics. Dubstep (which I hate) might actually be considered retro and hip in 20 years.

Unless she can reinvent herself, Lady Gaga. Not sure about her. I'd still give her a 25% chance that she'll be able to pull a Madonna a reinvent herself over and over. One dimensional gimmicky, talentless skanks like Ke$ha and Katy Perry have NO CHANCE IN HELL to survive.

I'm sure Avengers will be shredded to absolute pieces in the future.
I'm hoping reality television suffers a similar fate, and dies the same horrible death as variety television shows.
I think a lot of the Seth McFarlane stuff is going to be trashed in the future...especially if he goes off on some Mel Gibson like rant (which I can easily see happening)

The vast majority of popular films, tv shows, and music from this time period.
The 3D trend(once again).
The hipster and, for lack of a better term, douchebag fashion styles.
Motion controls in video games. Yes it is already being made fun of NOW by the "hardcore" gamers, but I bet you in the future even the "casuals" who bought into motion gaming by the millions will laugh at it.
I want to say they would laugh about devices with touch screens, but seeing as how pretty much every phone out there nowadays, and definitely all future cell phones for the foreseeable future, are smartphones with touch screens, not to mention the popularity of touch screen based tablets and the iPod Touch, that isn't going to happen. If anything, it'll be the exact opposite. By then we'll be seeing the first few generations that grew up with the first video games they played being the game apps on said devices.

Reluctance or discomfort towards dating or having a relationship with a post-op transgender person. Gay marriage used to be frowned upon, and now it's getting all kinds of support. So times are changing and mentality are changing as well.

Hipsters. The thick-rimmed glasses, being ironic about everything, the unhealthy obsession with the pisswater that is Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Those discs some people put in their stretched out earlobes.
Dubstep as a dedicated genre, as opposed to an element of electronic music.
Glee
Justin Bieber
The brony movement. And I say that as a brony.
Internet memes.
4chan
Dumb things people say on Twitter/Xbox Live/Facebook/etc.

The over-reliance of autotune will be a big "what were we thinking?" thing. I mean really it's a relic of the 90s anyways I always think of Cher when I hear that shit. No staying power to that sound whatsoever.

Tattoos - lots of people got them just to be "cool" and will grow up to hate them. Guys and Gals that get them for the true love of the art, will still get them.
Fohawk - Already hated now, will be the mullet of 2030
Lots of other stuff mentioned - Ed Hardy, and other overly expensive t-shirts.
Apple Products - not so much the products themselves, but people standing in line for hours and spending a months salary to get a new one that has a slightly better camera in it.
Fuzzy Boots - I am a teacher in South Carolina, my female students are all wearing large fuzzy boots, we are not sherpas.
Also, people will wonder why we are so proud some of us used electric cars. Would be like your great-grandfather being proud of using unleaded gas.

It may be an over exaggerated threat based on questionable science that is used to make people money (even the mafia have got in on it). Or it may be completely true and people will mock the stupid ways of combating it that make actually made things worse, for example bio-fuel leading to deforestation. Either way people will ridicule us. That’s without being able to talk about the political aspects.

I'm sure Avengers will be shredded to absolute pieces in the future. I can see it treated more like the original superman movie, dated but still respected. Stuff like Transformers on the other hand, will likely be trashed.

motion controls in games are going to be mocked big time. If they dont disapear (or reapear years down the line) the primitivity of what we have now is going to be on a par with VR machines of the early 90's. If video games drop it completly, its going to be on a par with VR machines of the early 90's. Its lose/lose x
