If something is popular, you have to assume it’s for a reason, right? That artist that everyone is thrilled to go see in concert must have released a great album this year. And if everyone you know is wearing the same pair of shoes, well, they must be incredibly comfortable!
But no matter how trendy something becomes, you don’t actually have to like it. In fact, if you reveal that you’re not a fan, there are probably plenty of other people who would agree with you. Redditors have recently been discussing popular things that they couldn’t care less about, so we’ve gathered some of their unpopular opinions below. Enjoy scrolling through, and keep reading to find a conversation with the person who started this thread in the first place!

Lash extensions. I’m old enough to remember all the older women wearing false lashes when I was a child, so to me they feel like something older women do. Not that they can’t look nice, I just don’t understand the heavy, obviously fake lashes look. I felt the same way a few years ago when the top bun was a trend. My elementary school librarian wore her grey hair in a top bun with her reading glasses with chains on them, so to me it was a look for older women.

Super hero movies. If I wanted to watch grown men in tights throwing each other around and not getting hurt, I'd watch professional wrestling.

"Comedian" podcasts.

saddingtonbear: I used to be into it, but now all the popular ones have gotten rich and/or completely out of touch with reality. It's not even relatable anymore.

Those ugly shoes that people keep wearing. I forget the name but I think they are made of rubber and they have those holes in the front with a strap in the back. Just ruins a great outfit.

Sabrina Carpenter

chenobble: She has been so massively artificially pushed on social media algorithms that she keeps showing up on my fb/youtube shorts list despite her being nothing to do with any of my interests.

I don't get Chappelle Roan. I am 40, however, I can understand some music that is of the younger generation even if I don't personally like it. I can get it, feel why it is popular. But I don't undestand the Chappelle Roan hype.

Podcasts. I just can't. I always get bored, or somewhere in between distracted and focused, to a point where I can't pay attention to either the podcast or my work. I'd rather read a book when I get free time.


And Marvel. F**k Marvel.
