Are there any things that the majority find to be awesome or the greatest thing ever that you just can't stand, didn't enjoy, etc.
For me a few things come to mind.
1. Nintendo Wii - I may be too hardcore of a gamer these days, but I fucking hated the Wii. Motion controls always had been dumb to me and this system was designed for soccer moms. Alot of my rage may come from getting 100+ phone calls a day from said moms looking for these for their children.
2. Lord of the Rings - I know why people enjoy these, but I could NEVER get into them. Long as hell, and just never ever managed to hook me in no matter how many times I tried. I did watch all 3 of the movies anyways.
3. Cell Phones - Now this is what really shows my age. Now I'm not against cell phones, I am against the stupid cell phones where using them to communicate with other people is the last thing they are used for. I walk alot and watching kids staring down into these things while not paying any attention to their surroundings drives me nuts. Same with the selfie culture that they have created.
4. Call of Duty - I've played the campaign on all of these, but the fact that these are viewed as some of the best games ever because they offer a multiplayer that I find no better/worse then any other multiplayer game is absurd.
-I would have included the Grand Theft Auto franchise until I played 5, that game was outstanding and completely makes up for how bad I found 4 to be.
Any popular media/crazes that you just don't like?
