I hate Shrek and I hate how that song is affiliated with that movie.

You could just enjoy the song and ignore the association with Shrek, because it wasn't written for that movie, and there's nothing specifically in the song itself that refers to it.

Personally, I'm more annoyed by "Holding Out for a Hero" being in Shrek 2, because that's an actual cover version I find worse than the original.

I bet you hate other things that are universally loved.

"Universally" is a strong term.

I mean, there are other people than just Millennials in the world. Your childhood wasn't as awesome as you remember it being.

The Beatles...I can see not loving them, but I can't really seeing hating them...unless you enjoy hating popular things as you said.

If you're apathetic about the music, the fact that the band is overpraised to the moon and back (and also potentially overplayed) can make you kind of resent it by proxy. So something you'd otherwise be neutral about becomes something you dislike because other people won't shut up about it. That's not strictly hating something because it's popular, but its popularity does influence your opinion.

(Incidentally, this is why I've reached the point of disliking both Chrono Trigger and Earthbound, after years of the Internet endlessly sucking their digital cocks.)

Some people might also dislike Beatles songs because they find Lennon to be an utterly repugnant human being, and it colors how they perceive everything he was involved with. I've personally noticed I don't mind some of Paul, George, or even Ringo's solo stuff post-Beatles, but I either dislike or am apathetic about nearly every song they did together as a group (Yesterday is about the only song I kind of like... and maybe I Saw Her Standing There. Twist and Shout wasn't too bad, but that was just a cover).

I mean, fuck - I like most Monkees songs better than I like Beatles songs.

I do love me some peak Smash Mouth, although Walkin' on the Sun would be my more typical go-to.

I'd agree with this.
