But you would never admit you hated that something just because it was too popular so you reached to find other reasons to justify why you hated that something.

Time to fest up. What did you hated because it was too popular? Boy bands, Justin Bieber, Pokemon

I hated boy bands but not because everyone else did.

I had a younger sister who would constantly play that shit and it sucked so bad.

I can honestly say I never did that. I enjoy many things that are popular and dislike many things that are popular but the reason I dislike them isn't because they are popular. I have honestly never understood that.

Also if I liked something that became popular I never lied and tried to act like I was into it before it became popular. Some things I legitimately liked and knew of before they became popular but many other things I wasn't aware of until they in fact hit mainstream and became very popular.

Jealousy is something very easy to understand.

No and it's a dumb accusation since that is almost never the reason something is hated. Plenty of things are popular. Rarely does someone hate everyone popular.

It's like the "you're just jealous" accusation when someone hates a celebrity, even though if that was the reason then they'd hate all celebrities in general instead of just specific ones.

I don't really think I've done that specifically, but adjacent to it is disliking things that are popular and overplayed / overexposed

I would definitely say I've done the same.

That being said, when The Red Hot Chili Peppers reased "Dani California," my friends and I all agreed to NOT listen to it for several months. When we finally started to NOT change the radio station, we were probably the only people who could enjoy--let alone stand--the song.

I legitimately hate the Godfather for legitimate reasons. It's a boring movie that insists upon itself. I hated the Spider verse movie because it was overly stupid especially with Peter getting creamed by Kingpin. Biggest wtf moment ever. Just saying.

I'd say blind haters are equally as bad.

Exactly this for me. All the more reason I tend to enjoy media in a vacuum more and more these days.

I used to be very snobby about pop music in my teens.

Really embarrassed myself there.

Pokemon bit turned out I was just mad cause I wasn't in on it. Once I caved and started collecting cards next thing I knew I had the video game and loved it.

I don't just hate call of duty because it's stupid popular, I am more upset that one of my favorite genres of online shooters the arena shooter pretty much got completely buried sales and community-wise just because of how much call of duty drawn everyone in. Like a "god damn it" *shakes fist at the fact that it still makes gangbusters* feeling, lol.

I did try to give call of duty a shot in the 360 days, but in the end it just isn't for me. My favorite games of the time was stuff like unreal tournament, unreal championship 2 on the original xbox, return to castle wolfenstein, and quake 3 arena.

I like gears of war's multiplayer a lot because even though it isn't quite a arena shooter with all the bouncing around and railgun insta-gibs, it still kind of has that spirit I guess. Gears 3 is still has my favorite online competitive mode.

These days I don't actually hate call of duty, but in the 360/mid 2000s PC gaming days I definitely did.

I don't like iPhone cause it's expensive. My phone was like 120 bucks and that's the most I've ever paid for a phone. It does the job.

IPhone has a better camera but I don't take a lot of pictures

I pro Android so of course I'd be against it's opposition. I understand its not a good reason but it is what it is. Problem with most people is they want to believe their reasons to dislike something is completely reasonable.

I guess I felt this way about Twilight, but it was because I liked vampires and didn't like the lore they used but it became extremely popular anyway. So mainly because it became popular, but if it had used more standard vampire lore I would have been fine with it.

Eh

Is disliking something because its overrated the same thing?

I dont think Demon Slayer is a good anime. But I definitely dislike it more because of the undeserved adoration it gets imo.

Never really god the "it's popular so I hate it" thing. There are things I disliked that got popular, like gacha, and that was annoying, but I didn't dislike it because of its popularity.

Like, DBZ is one of the most popular IPs ever. Why would I like it less for that reason? DBZ fucking rules.
