Five, broke-ass, dumb-ass neurotic freaks in an apartment?** And isn’t it amazing that in _New York City_ they have no black friends, no Hispanic friends, no friends at all who don’t look like they were dressed head-to-toe by the Gap??? > [@](#): > > **Oh, and the Beatles. Am I the only soul in the world who thinks those dorks couldn’t sing? Funny thing is, they wrote some good songs, which I only discovered after hearing covers of them by much more talented singers.** I hate the Beatles, too, but not for their singing. I hate them for their silly, pablum, juiceless, shallow songs. ---

I hate top 40 songs that you just can’t seem to avoid wherever you go. Especialy the ones you end up humming to or tapping your feet to…Mmm Bop! ---

Pot. People make such a stink about how it’s good for you and everyone should be doing it. I don’t buy into the idea of self-medicating! I read Brave New World, I know the idea behind soma! Plus, the potheads I know are totally off-center wacks who think they’re intellectual and insightful, while not realizing they’re full of pseudo-philisophical shit. I don’t like the idea of smoking anything in general! I think the drug chic around the herb is hilariously stupid! Pop music and its fans. You are buying something manufactured with no spirit or individualism! Emo music and its fans. Grow up and stop being really creepy by singing about who your ex-girlfriend is making out with right now and how you wish you were him. The fans come off as pretentious “nice guys” who are whiny passive agressive jerkoffs. People who wear thrift store clothes to be different. Especially the people who wear shirts for teams that they don’t know about, clubs they never joined, camps they never went to, or businesses that don’t exist anymore. Your “Camp Sunnydale” shirt is dumb. You wear it to hide the fact that the world is a harsh place, and that you want to go back to summer camp, where, guess what, it reverts to making out with people and being cared for and fed while being independent. Your “Math: It’s Relative! Franklin High School Math Club” shirt is dumb too. You have never been part of said club. You wear it to appear geeky or nerdy along with your fake hornrim glasses. People who wear DARE shirts while flaunting drug use: you’re soooo counterculture! Skateboarders. It’s a trend now, where kids buy clothes to appear different while still being part of the mainstream. Guess what- your Independent shirt cost just as much as a GAP shirt. You are not being “punk” by buying into an image. Ironically, I skateboard, don’t dress like I do, and constantly get annoyed by the “skater” image. Avril Lavigne. I don’t know whether she wants me to pronounce her name the Italian way or the American way. She dresses like a skaterpunk, yet sings pop songs. Record execs probably thought that she was just enough ouf the mainstream that they could market her as an alternative to pop princesses yet still play her on MTV all the time. Hell, MTV period. That felt a lot better! ---

Rap “music” ---

Oooh, I cannot believe that I forgot polyester. I hate, hate, hate that fabric with a passion. I hate it so much that I claim to be allergic to it. To go along with that, pantyhose. Now, I can handle wearing them, but I cannot stand rubbing them, or scratching them, or having anybody else do so - that’s worse than fingernails on a chalkboard to me. There are more things, but my brain just shut down on me. ~V [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-you-hate-that-everyone-else-seems-to-like/118424.md?page=6)
