If you think something is overrated, you just dislike something that a lot of people like, and vice versa with underrated.

stop using these words they arent real things

in fact, stop arguing about opinions altogether.

thank you good night

Things that arent real can still have definitions, like unreal tournament and imaginary numbers

But by giving them names and definitions, you make them real...both those things you mentioned are real--how are you defining real?

Stonks are the only time where it kinda makes sense, but thats only if it proves to be true that it is under or overrated. Because like sometimes they say that and its not right so

I think they're very real concepts. Look at Oasis's second album - today it's seen as a bombastic cocaine-fueled monument to excess with a distinct lack of elegance and depth compared to What's The Story, Morning Glory, but at the time it was getting 9s and 10s because critics had missed the boat on that first album. They overcorrected for the second album, and it turned around and bit them in the ass. That album was overrated at the time, and its reputation soured the longer it was allowed to gestate and sit with people on the shelf.

You also have Crash, an intense movie about race relations in Los Angeles, which won an Oscar over Brokeback Mountain. Nowadays it's seen as obnoxious, shallow and over-acted, while Brokeback Mountain continues to resonate with audiences for its great performances and story. Few people would be pressed to say that Crash is a better movie than Brokeback Mountain.

Meanwhile, you have media that defies the odds and becomes a pop-cultural mainstay despite getting middling or devastating critical reviews upon its release. Night of the Living Dead was shredded by critics, but it was a hit among horror fans and it established its reputation over the course of a decade. Earthbound is notorious for how much of a sacred cow it is despite reviewing and selling horribly.

The terms can be used very loosely to say "I think this thing that lots of people think is good is actually bad" or vice versa, but media that fails to live up to critical reception or which establishes itself as a cultural mainstay over a period of years or decades does exist. There is media that is overrated and underrated, and we can see that in hindsight depending on its longevity compared to how well it was received at the time.

They have technical applications regarding things that can be measured but yeah, using them about opinions is crockery.
