Annoying Culture trends

[DimHalo]

Well, this is it! The thread where you get to complain about, argue about, criticise or generally knock down some trends.

The one I'm going to start off with is Spongebob Squarepants. I have been seeing the commercials for the movie and its getting irritating. The show isn't that great and I can't believe that they made a movie....

Actually, i can believe it. Its how they make money. I'm sure a lot of people will go because there are not only children but grown people who are obsessed. It is madness!

[Typhoid]

Rap.

[Swan]

The OC, everybody likes it. Grrr

It's not as great as people would make you believe. People make it out to be the greatest show ever created. It is not even close.

It a soap opera for crying out loud. Nothing against soap operas, I actually think life is a cheesy soap opera(nothing to do with what I'm talking about) What do rich white people have to complain about?

[Ginkasa]

Halo
Sagging pants
Pop music
Anti-gay stuff
Reality TV
Censors

In no particular order. And those are just the ones I could think of right off the top of my head...

I don't like hipsters much. Ya know, the kind of kids who dress in trendy Hot Topic retro shirts and are the most pretentious kids you will ever meet. Yeah, those kids suck.

Also the seemingly growing trend of prudes in this country. People are STILL talking about the stupid Monday Night Football intro which was pretty much as tame as could be. Plus, we're to the point where over 60 CBS affiliates VOLUNTARILY decided to pull the plug in showing Saving Private Ryan, a great movie on Veterans day because they were afraid of the response of "certain people" who thought it was too violent...It's a sad day.

Ugh, I know what you mean. I can't stand people who also dress to label themselves.. dress really crappy to look ghetto, dress in bondage pants and band shirts to look like a 'rocker'

ugh..

yeah, people are obsessed with the OC..

and i just recently found out what ambercrombie and fitch is. lmao

Not sure if this fits in here but someone brought up antigay movements.

Is it gay for a guy to hug another guy? I have nothing against it. SOme of my friends are so insecure with themselves that they say that it is gay and won't even think of it. I am secure with my sexuality, and am not afraid to act gay. Typhoid knows what I mean.

ALOT!!!!




I hate political correctness. Its on the rise. We cant call them Indians...but Cleveland gets off scott free.

We cant call them black, they are now "African American" yet white people are referred to as White...not Caucasian, or European American.

I abso-friggin-lutely hate Political correctness to the extreme its gone to nowadays.

Guys wearing pink shirts and flipped up collars.

It's like begging for attention.

I know I'll be shot for saying this... but it can look good.

Tread carefully though because most people I've seen always end up like a try-hard metrosexual.

P/s: The whole polo shirt with turned-up collar is extremely huge here in Australia. Worn together with a pair of jeans and flip-flops and walla! Attack of the clones!

There was a guy wearing that outfit at the last Cardinal game I went to. Just about every other inning, when everyone else was sitting, he would stand up and look around while talking on his cell phone. He did this for the entire game. As if the person he was talking to was also at the game but he couldn't find them. I'm near positive the man was dying for attention.

Anyway, anytime he would do this, me and my friends would yell in unison:

"Hey pink! Sit down!"

or

"Col-lar, Col-lar, Col-lar!"

Hilarious.

I remember that happening to me, but I had blue shorts, white socks and flip-flops on. I'm sure jeepnut would've made more fun of me if he had seen the works.
