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!

People Are Pointing Out Things That Are Popular But They Don’t Get Why Honestly, the endless cycle of reboots and remakes. Feels like every other movie or show is just a recycled version of something from 20 years ago. Can we get some new ideas, please?

People Are Pointing Out Things That Are Popular But They Don’t Get Why I saw a bunch of people say Stanley cups and I being not with it thought they meant the Hockey championship. So then I had to ask myself if the hockey finals were happening or something. Then I realized clearly my zero interest thing is Stanley cups because that took me too long to figure out.

People Are Pointing Out Things That Are Popular But They Don’t Get Why Influencers. I can't stand them. If you've got a channel where you make content that's original and would be worthwhile on other platforms (e.g., comedy, storytelling, cooking episodes, etc.), then yeah. If I see a post or video recommended by someone who clearly has no talent and is a means to advertise with a pretty face, I actively try to not use the product LOL.

People Are Pointing Out Things That Are Popular But They Don’t Get Why Using Twitter

honorificabilidude: I used to have twitter for checking real time events like a fires or traffic jams. It’s useless now that people don’t use it except to boast or complain.

If you really want the recipe, I'm sure there are a thousand less annoying people you can watch make it. Watching it, even on mute, just rewards the behavior, and makes others want to copy them.

People Are Pointing Out Things That Are Popular But They Don’t Get Why 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.

People Are Pointing Out Things That Are Popular But They Don’t Get Why Botox

DramaticBucket: My colleague gets botox in 4 different parts of his face apparently and told me I need to start preventative botox before I hit thirty so I won't get wrinkles. I thought it was a him thing but turns out half of my coworkers under 45 are getting it? Why are people suddenly so afraid of looking slightly older? You're going to age anyway! My dad says looking older is the best thing about aging because random people will help you if you're confused instead of giving you the side eye.

People Are Pointing Out Things That Are Popular But They Don’t Get Why All this hugely overhyped "Generative AI" garbage. Like to the point that adding "AI" to the name of your product is pretty much a one way ticket to "I don't care about anything else you're about to say".

Of note, that's specifically "Generative AI", I'm all for the stuff that actually makes life better. It's sad that at this point most people don't even realize there's a difference. That's pure dystopia in a nutshell.

People Are Pointing Out Things That Are Popular But They Don’t Get Why Mental health. Hear me out

I think there are lots of companies trying to sell you the idea that you're damaged. You need therapy, you need calming candles, you need to self-care to the extreme. Yes we should all take care of our mental health, but I have no interest in companies trying to convince me that I'm a delicate flower that needs to spend my way to wellbeing.

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.

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.
