Have you ever hated something that seems very popular with everyone else ?

Just for fun so no sarcasm or nastiness please .
My friend and I went to see a West End musical this week . I was really looking forward to it . Great reviews . Celebrity cameos . Camp and fun . Seemed right up our street .
We both hated it . We were turning to each other with puzzled looks and raised eyebrows (we've known each other forever and have very similar tastes so no words needed) .
The audience seemed off their tits to be honest . Screeching at every unsubtle innuendo . Shouting responses to the actors . It was like a really bad hen do .
We left at the interval .
My point is that everyone else seemed to be having a great time . The staff who opened the doors to allow us to leave at the interval were incredulous . I quote : "Are you not enjoying it ?!"
Well no , we weren't . We thought it was shit .
This is a show that is up for lots of awards and has had so many positive reviews .
Have you ever hated something that everyone else seemed to love ?

Red Bull - I rather drink a tramp's wee
Most US comedies - MASH, Cheers and Frasier are the only ones I laugh
All inclusive hotels
Matcha - never tried it but sounds vile
Bubble Tea - see above

Agree!!!

ive been to a few music festivals in Asia and they were amazing! Excellent food, polite / fun dancing and clean loos!

also I hear you about admiring expertise but I also really want to see an Olympics where ordinary people have a go. The actual professionals make it look too easy

Florence and the machine - absolutely can’t stand her style of singing
the Book of Mormon - the worst show ever
seafood
U2
rugby
cricket

Dubai
influencers
fake eyebrows, eyelashes, lips, hair, boobs.

You are correct.
but have to ask… Which town are you in which is styled like Saturday Night Fever?

This is the one

Minimalism
John Lennon and 'Imagine'

U2??? Even the old stuff?

Oh agree with this, kept waiting for something/ anything to happen but nothing did,hoped she’d be kidnapped or something, they looked bored and we were bored senseless
We went to work Monday said I saw the most awful boring film, complete waste of time
Friend oh I went to the cinema too and saw a great film … yes same one 🙃

There’s a lot of running themes here which is really interesting. I agree on…

Drag - I feel homophobic so don’t say it outloud but I just find it creepy. We ended up going to a drag show on my hen do and I was sober. What a crap night.

Traitors - just don’t get the hype.

Musicals with kids singing - something like Matilda would be horrific to me. There’s very few kids who have voices that are soothing or impressive. They just shout.

Love Actually - it’s painful, can’t bear the disjointed scenes and the random porn in the middle, which leads me on to…

Emma Thompson - the woman is a raging hypocrite and I hate hypocrites. I can’t believe everyone is taken in by her fake charm. One day the world will see!

Anything Mythical - Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter etc. to be entertained in books or tv it has to be believable for me, something that could happen in real life. I’m just not excited by any of it.

Crocs. Everyone saying how comfy they are. I bought a pair & hardly wear them. Ugly too even though mine are pretty colours.

Wicked
Toy story
Mama Mia
Star wars

My friends think I am weird not to have seen a theatre musical. One has seen wicked on stage 6 times apparently ffs! Each to their own.

Extra spicy food.
Barbecues! Smokey, smelly and messy.

Wide leg trousers.
Ballet flats
Together or separately..

As soon as I read the title I was thinking of some massive hit West End musicals that I couldn’t get out of fast enough 🤣. So exactly why you experienced!

Water slides.

Picky bits gives me the rage

Comic Con, bloody awful. But most things actually.

Drag queens
Ed Sheeran - gives me the creeps but I don't know why
Coldplay
Oasis
Modern musicals
String quartets
Jaffa cakes
Baylis and Harding
Giles Brandreth
David Walliams

I wanted to say Wicked but was too scared as so many love it and get so fierce about it 🤣. But by “west end musicals” that’s what I meant 🤣

Kimchi. I don’t care if it’s good for you, it makes you, your car, and the lift at work stink horribly.
Short, blocky shirts
Drag, insulting and not f

our group of 4 really didn’t enjoy Hamilton. We felt it was very much Emperor‘s new clothes and everyone else coming out seem to rave about the show. We were very underwhelmed.

-Botox a d fillers- im 45 and will never have it. I think it looks disgusting
-Nails done- couldnt care less and the filing thing gives me bad shrivers
-Ozempic- not a permanent solution, the weight will come back and it will mess your body up-at least thats what i think

• Metal music. Hate it. Would rather do all the above than suffer a metal concert.

-Dribbling saliva-ish dogs. Grosses me out. I like neat and clean dogs although i am a cat person really
