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 ?

Make up on me (feels uncomfortable) likewise hair products. Feels like I am putting grease or sticky stuff on clean hair and I can smell it.

Everybody raved about The Book of Mormon but I didn't really like it.

Same!

I wasn't keen at all. But whenever it comes up on conversation people look at me like I've got 2 heads for not loving it

Where shall I start? Pubs, clubs, loud music, beach holidays. Anything that involves lots of people in a confined space. Oh, and being felt up by total strangers, which apparently defines a good night out for some people.

Summer.

It can fuck right off the hot, sweaty, blinding, BBQ-riddled, mowing every five minutes, fly infested, ant powder coated, chavs-taking-shirts-off, ice-cream-melted-by-the-time-you-get-home bastard!

Getting drunk, bleurgh!
Used to like Traitors, but now think it's nasty.

Last One Laughing. I just don't find anything funny about the "here's a joke" and "here's another joke" comedy.

I also don't like Naked Gun (any of them) and Airplane for the same reason

(Even odder is I'd probably find some of the jokes funny in isolation!!)

The films Mamma Mia and Titanic, I think they're awful.
The music of the very popular singers Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell and George Michael (I feel bad about George because he was such a lovely man).
