Nope, if so many other people like it, I should watch it. That way I can keep up with the times 0 0.0% [ 0 ]
If it's popular, it must be bad. People have no taste 0.10204081632653 10.2% [ 5 ]

Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, and a bunch of other series that I can't even remember the names of.
Licho
Sharvail
My list is long.

Dude Where's My Car
Napoleon Dynamite
Borat
High School Musical
Just about anything from the Disney Channel or Cartoon Network
Anything with Will Ferral, Adam Sandler, Jack Black, Rob Schneider...
Hannah Montana (I can't wait for that fad to die... I'm sick and tired of seeing it everywhere)
American Idol
Juno
Family Guy
That 70's Show
Scary Movie (All of them)
Anything with Larry the Cable Guy
Meet the Spartans
The popular music these days (How in the world can people stand to listen to that garbage?)
The trendy clothes (What is with the pregnant teen from the 70's look?)
Tickle Me Elmo (I would love to see these burn)
Bratz (I hate seeing these around, are they trying to teach young girls to look like hookers?!)
Spongebob Squarepants
Simpsons episodes made after season 12
Any reality TV show
TV Guide Channel
Harry Potter

I can't think of any more at the moment. I know there is much more to my list.


I think that these "cultural vetos" are things that you think of more as time goes on. I was on a road trip for 14 hours and we kept coming up with our "veto's" the entire trip back.


No these are all things I can't stand at all and I hate how popular these things are/where. I didn't come up with them on some trip.

I didn't mean you sat down and think "hmm, what should I decide not to like?" I just meant you remember more of them the more time you think about it. Such as if when you first made the list, and then a couple hours someone brings up crocs, and you remember how much you hate that craze as well. After spending 14 hours sitting in a car its surprising how many you remember.

By the way, that's reminds me. I hate the croc craze. Now I'm all about comfort over looks, but I think a little bit of aesthetic is a nice feature.

Media in general.
Americas Next Top Model and ALL of the reality TV shows....not just that but they just suck!

Harry Potter. Gawd, I hated that series... Actors these days aren't even actors, they're just pretty-boys with broken glasses.
I have tape on my glasses, and EVERYONE keep saying 'Ooh, like Harry Potter, eh?'
I say No, I'm wayyy cooler than he is.

The Twilight series. *sigh* I am sad to say that my boyfriend is obsessed with the series, and is trying to get every one of his friends obsessed to. Even my sister's joined the Edward fanclub.
Me, I think Jacob is WAy more kick-butt then anyone, but if I even attempt to talk about the book in a literary fashion (meaning, saying how awfully written it was) I get incarcerated.
So I try not to mention it.

This hasn't come out yet, but You Don't Mess With The Zohan. Actually, I hate all the movies Adam Sandler is in. He doesn't even change character, he just plays himself in every movie.
What really pissed me off though is how the director couldn't even be bothered to cast an actor of the proper ethnicity for the role. I mean, the character's Middle Eastern. And he's played by a white man. Man, that made me pissed. mad

Archie comics. Friggin thing's been around for over fifty years, you'd think the writers' would've given up by now

That's all I can think of at the moment...


I know! I hate Adam Sandler. His roles has the same basic characteristic: being a dumbass. And that Don't Mess with the Zohan movie is kind of discriminatory to Middle Easterns. And how many movies is he in with Drew Barrymore?
I don't know how popular they are, but I have to add one.

Beastie Boys. I hate them so, so much. If I'm listening to the radio and they come on I have to change the station. Even if it's polka, I can't listen to them.

Twilight.


Oh god yes. That one I refuse to even read the summary just because the fans are so aggressive. But the snippets of what I've heard have only reinforced that notion.

That and vampires are over-romanticized leeches anyway.


I agree. The obnoxious fangirls killed any chance of me ever reading Twilight.
maronne de blays
Twilight.
Hannah Freaking Montana.
I dislike her so much.
And that Sex and the City movie.
I don't like Sarah Jessica Parker.
