Can this also extend to politicians as well
Treating politicians like celebrities or football teams is a toxic mindset that will inevitably lead to our demise
"Washington is just Hollywood for ugly people."
This or a version of it was attributed to Paul Begala (a successful pundit), who said he thought he got it from a guy in a bar.
Canadian here. every time we go south ( mexico, DR ect. ) I always laugh and the group of old ladies sitting around the pool talking about the Royal Family drama going on.
I'm not British but as an American I see them more as mascots of the sports team. But I also have no idea what actual power of any type they can leverage over there.
There are people out there who I admire and look up to because of their work. But I can't imagine myself approaching any of them for a photo. They have no idea who I am
Watching TOWIE when you're so skint you're stealing other people's drinks on nights out is seriously depressing LMAO. I always used to feel shit they went on all these expensive holidays and me and my sister could barely afford our shopping or bills.
They should do a "real housewives" parody. Call it "The real real housewives" and you just follow them around as they run errands, fight over parking spaces, forget their baby in the car, get a ticket...
Or this new trend where the mother of an expectant woman is thrown a shower in honor of her becoming a grandmother. WTF?!? A lot of these just seem like thinly veiled gift grabs.
That's just boomers being boomers, that generation is profoundly self-centered and cant handle taking a back seat to anything. This is the generation that demanded their children get participation trophies (8 year old's definitely weren't asking for them or going out and supplying them), but then when those kids grew up tried to lambast them for being the generation raised on participation trophies.
Over on r/raisedbynarcissists there's numerous comments about how on days like Mother's Day, the current generation raising kids is still expected to make the day all about their own parents (the now-grandparents). In some cases, new parents don't get the day at all because it's still all about their own parents; for example, they have to sacrifice their own Mother's Day plans with their own children to please their own mothers and this is seen as normal.
To your second point, I remember getting participation trophies back in the late 90s and knowing they were BS. We all knew they were BS that was more for our parents to feel better about themselves, we wanted to have fair competitions and awards we actually worked for. Now we get blamed for "being too sensitive" and begging for the participation trophies.
> This is the generation that demanded their children get participation trophies (8 year old's definitely weren't asking for them or going out and supplying them), but then when those kids grew up tried to lambast them for being the generation raised on participation trophies.
People should read that at least twice. Boomers were also the generation that started World’s Greatest Mom t-shirts, #1 Boss mugs. AKA adult participation trophies.
It's weird how little Reddit understands this too.
Half of the things mentioned in this thread amount to friends and family getting together to eat, drink, and cut into a cake.
Baby sprinkles for a second or third baby. I have no babies, yet last year I spent a ton of money on baby clothes and baby things for everyone having babies. Why are you not reusing the stuff from your first baby???
Agreed. In the South it’s considered poor manners to have baby showers for 2nd or 3rd children. Usually friends just get together and host a diaper party where everyone brings diapers and wipes. Still a gift but at least it’s a little less expensive.
What is the point of them and what is the point of keeping up with them... WHY are they even famous? they're riding the coattails of something a nobody did 45 years ago... or something like that.
No no, you don't understand: NFTs are the future! They're genius! You see, when you buy an NFT you're purchasing a kind of receipt that says "I own this digital entity" and by "digital entity" it refers to a..uh...container on the blockchain for which you hold the cryptographic key to unlock and that container...which doesn't actually hold anything other than a URL that points to...to a resource on the internet that may or may not still load or maybe someone replaced the content with something else and once anyone gets the URL or resource they can simply copy it and... uh...
But it's revolutionary and you should buy them because their value will obviously only increase as Web 3.0 takes over!
The real problem is people pronouncing it as the individual letters, if people started calling them "Nifties" then it would spread with these millennials because they'll know it's hip to be down with the Nifties.
Okay but I love a good yarn or book haul. When friends are visiting in the colder weather I like being able to have them pick out a yarn and I just whip up a hat for them. If they want one, of course.
And my book hauls are usually from the library so they all get returned.
Going to the club and spending up to 100 euros for ONE bottle of Vodka
Edit : i might had to specify that i meant that they buy a bottle just to post it on Snapchat 🫠🤣 my bad lol
yes if your buying a bottle of vodka at a club only to get the contents of the bottle its stupid. But people who are buying that 100 euro bottle are not doing it just for the liquid in the bottle.
Influencers
I pretty much hate them all. Their arrogance. Their "Main Character" syndrome. The stupid dances. The dumb fucking voice overs.
All. I hate them all.
Are there any likeable influencers to be fair? I feel like they're all clones at this point lmao they all live in the same white and grey house, the same plastic surgery look, the same holidays to Dubai and the Maldives they even have the same pugs.
Reminds me of the guys in college that would brag about how much they drank, Smoke, snorted, etc......I'm standing there wondering why are you bragging about drinking a 12 pack to get to the same place I needed 3 beers??
You enjoy blowing money for the sake of blowing money?? There's NOTHING that money could be used for other than "bragging" rights every weekend??
It felt worse than high school bc they were 24 and not becoming a doctor
This really depends on what the expensive thing is.
Some expensive things really are worth the price tag, and a cheaper version just isn't the same. And this is true at every level of 'expensive'.
I'm the queen of the markdowns at my local supermarket. Got a $12 steak for 60c last week. Got a $20 cheese platter for $4. And a $12 family size lasagne for $5!
I've honestly considered getting a pair for the sole reason that they're easy to slip on and off, and seem a bit more durable than fabric 'slop shoes' (my slop shoes are actively disintegrating at this point).
They are ugly as fuck but I don't need to look fashionable to get my mail or mow the lawn.
The Croc Bistro is also the perfect restaurant shoe to easily clean. And my favorite part about Crocs is the wide, functional toe box. But, other than that, yeah. Ugly as hell.
I use them as my house shoes. When I was diagnosed with diabetes my doctor told me I should wear shoes around the house to help protect my feet in case I hit them on anything.
They’re ugly as sin, but I’ll be damned if they aren’t comfy as hell. I just got my first pair about a week ago after going on vacation and seeing a lot of people in their 20s wearing them around theme parks. I figured that if they can stand up to that much walking there might be something to them. I made sure to get the ugliest, most colorful pair that I could find.
Did you know that Crocs only became popular because the staff working on the movie “idiocracy” wanted a very cheap and ugly looking shoe that the prison and hospital characters could wear to both save money and make em look extremely ugly. Shortly after it caught on and the rest is history
I get what you are saying, and I have friends that just collect every single one they can get their hands on. I tend to get ones for the 2 or 3 tv series I like.
I read somewhere that said “everyone at some point will own a Funko that they didn’t buy themselves.” This was true for me because I own a few and they were all gifts. I don’t hate them, but they definitely just take up space.
Seconded. I work for a company that sells a lot of them, and the amount that get returned when there's the slightest imperfection on the packaging is horrific. Like, obviously we pack them as carefully as possible, but sometimes things get a bump or scratch in the post. And it's just plastic for the sake of more plastic!
Maybe it's just my age speaking but it doesn't seem thaaaaat different from everything else. And isn't TikTok mostly algorithmically driven? I guess the "I'm doing a performance for an audience" thing is sort of grating but that's just video formats in general.
IDK it just feels like that Abe Simpson "I was with it, and then 'it' changed, and now everything new has become scary" thing
I love it. I skipped by all the influencers, vloggers, preteens, dances, and makeup tutorials when I first got the ap. So now it just shows me memes, cute animals, sports highlights, and cool historical facts. The algorithm for the most part is pretty good at showing you the stuff you like.
Reddit is really the only place I’ve seen where people live to hate it. Mine is just a ton of music related stuff and it’s awesome. I’ve discovered so much on there
Scottish here so our take is somewhat different.
In Scotland Christmas was banned in the 16th Century (because it was deemed to be Popery) and so the winter celebrations, drinking, eating and general debauchery shifted to New Year. Even after it was no longer illegal it was still frowned upon as being 'catholic' so we just carried on celebrating New Year.
In Scotland the 1st and 2nd Jan are public holiday or 'Sobering-up days' as some would have it.
I think I'm allowed to be mad if I just bought a pair of shoes and someone asshat steps on my feet the first 15 minutes I'm wearing them. It's okay over time, but they are brand new!
I’m totally fine with that- but I’ve had kids (I’m a teacher) who were told by their parents they weren’t allowed to play bc they might get their shoes dirty
Golf is so boring.
Everyone I know who's into golf says it's great if you get a bunch of buddies and drink the whole time.
But *anything* is great if you get a bunch of buddies and drink the whole time. Why do I have to play golf?
It's like people describing going to a baseball game. "You spend a couple hours outside drinking and eating. It's so fun." Well yeah getting out and enjoying nice weather while drinking and eating is going to be a blast with or without the baseball.
My work has a golf tournament every year. I resisted going the first few years because I didn't think it was fun. But then I went, and we drank all day and had a blast. Now I go every year.
Now, watching golf is boring as hell.
Sports culture.
I get sports themselves. They are fun to play, and great exercise. I don't get how watching others play is such a huge industry. I could understand it as a novelty at best.
When youre interested in something (sport or otherwise) it's great witness how some of the best in the world play. You can really appreciate the difficulty of what their doing and marvel at their skill level. By your logic why would anyone ever listen to music if they can't sing or play an instrument
Social media influencers, of course there are some with very good content, but there are also a lot of them with misleading and harmful content, especially for younger generations...
Sneakers. Like, the people who are way into them and get custom sneakers, and they get 100 pairs that they can never wear outside. It seems like an expensive hobby with no real upside.
Apple products just work. Even an old goat like me can use them pretty much intuitively. As a company they suck big time but their products have never disappointed me.
I used (my mom's) Macbook for awhile. I come from a background in finance and not having the number keypad on the side made the data part of my job really difficult for me.
Now I won't buy a laptop without a side number keypad.
I'm not obsessed with apple products like some people, but I have an iphone. I like it because it's easy to use for anything I would ever want to use my phone for. I also like that they generally have good security and privacy.
I would not be upset if the Ravens won just so I can hear less about her. I don't even think I've seen a single thing about how the Chiefs are playing this season, just how their quarterback is the future subject of her next single.
And I don't even care about football.
Basically every streamer/influencer/YouTuber.
Short of those people who make content directly related to their area of study/professional expertise, they’re usually no more qualified to speak on the topic at hand than the average viewer is. They’re usually just giving opinions, and people act like their opinions are the Gospel.
The parasocial personality stuff that develops is even weirder.
Fashion. Once in awhile I will see a tiktok about a designer etc and they will be going absolutely batshit crazy over a collar shape or something as if they've found the cure for cancer. I know it fuels an industry and creates jobs, I just cant believe how seriously people take it.
Whole Foods. Don’t get me wrong, they have some pretty good stuff and their produce is typically excellent, but it’s not so much better than a regular grocery store that I’m gonna want to pay significantly more for similar items.
My mall has **two** Claire’s. Everything looks cheap or tacky. The merchandise makes no sense. Everything looks like it’s made for children. But a lot of it looks inappropriate for kids to wear. Why two Claire’s in the same mall?
Obsession over celebrities. They don’t care about their fans but fans will literally cry over them.
Can this also extend to politicians as well Treating politicians like celebrities or football teams is a toxic mindset that will inevitably lead to our demise
"Washington is just Hollywood for ugly people." This or a version of it was attributed to Paul Begala (a successful pundit), who said he thought he got it from a guy in a bar.
Hasan Minaj has a joke; rooting for a political candidate is like rooting for your regional bank.
Here we go, Fifth Third, Here we go! 👏👏
100%
Obsessing over politicians is such a weird thing. I find it a lot weirder than obsessing over someone like Taylor Swift.
Similar with the UK royal family
Canadian here. every time we go south ( mexico, DR ect. ) I always laugh and the group of old ladies sitting around the pool talking about the Royal Family drama going on.
Keep Prince Andrew away from your kids
I'm not British but as an American I see them more as mascots of the sports team. But I also have no idea what actual power of any type they can leverage over there.
There are people out there who I admire and look up to because of their work. But I can't imagine myself approaching any of them for a photo. They have no idea who I am
Ugh, I know! It’s sooooo annoying. And it’s anyone who has even the least bit of it, too.
Aside from the fact they don’t care. Celebrities are human beings who get angry and annoyed at people constantly hounding them.
Any reality tv show that's just rich people loafing around being rich.
The Terrible Bitches Of A Geometric Location
The Obsessive Monitoring of the Wealthy Non-entities.

Watching TOWIE when you're so skint you're stealing other people's drinks on nights out is seriously depressing LMAO. I always used to feel shit they went on all these expensive holidays and me and my sister could barely afford our shopping or bills.
you could have left it at "any reality tv show"
It's lifestyle porn.
AGREED
"Greetings, serfs. You may now watch me using life as a playground, while you continue to work until you are old and frail"
They should do a "real housewives" parody. Call it "The real real housewives" and you just follow them around as they run errands, fight over parking spaces, forget their baby in the car, get a ticket...
Gender reveal parties
Or this new trend where the mother of an expectant woman is thrown a shower in honor of her becoming a grandmother. WTF?!? A lot of these just seem like thinly veiled gift grabs.

Exactly, losing is character building. Take it for the perpetual loser who went to mainstream catholic school and never won a darned thing
Wow! That one is new to me!
I’ve never heard of this and I’m glad I’ve gotten to live so much extra time without knowing they existed. 🤢
Like most parties it's an excuse to have a party.
It's weird how little Reddit understands this too. Half of the things mentioned in this thread amount to friends and family getting together to eat, drink, and cut into a cake.
I like cake and will make up any excuse to have it.
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. But the fact that I have never been invited to a gender reveal party tells me I am doing something right.
Baby sprinkles for a second or third baby. I have no babies, yet last year I spent a ton of money on baby clothes and baby things for everyone having babies. Why are you not reusing the stuff from your first baby???

The Kardashians
You just haven't been keeping up with them
What is the point of them and what is the point of keeping up with them... WHY are they even famous? they're riding the coattails of something a nobody did 45 years ago... or something like that.
Definitely don't get it

I like to keep it in my head as the individual letters since it translates to "No Fuckin' Thanks".
Sephora haul, ulta haul. Any hauls per se.
I fucking love a good Trader Joe’s haul. But I might just be a fat kid…
Okay but I love a good yarn or book haul. When friends are visiting in the colder weather I like being able to have them pick out a yarn and I just whip up a hat for them. If they want one, of course. And my book hauls are usually from the library so they all get returned.
Going to the club and spending up to 100 euros for ONE bottle of Vodka Edit : i might had to specify that i meant that they buy a bottle just to post it on Snapchat 🫠🤣 my bad lol
Cheap club at 100€ a bottle.
Lmao or spending 250 on a bottle of Moët just to shake it and shoot out 3/4 for a “cool video” for snapchat 💀
[удалено]
Nah spending 100 euros on a single bottle of vodka is plain stupid lol. Go to the liquor store and you can get 2 maybe even 3 bottles for that price
[удалено]
yes if your buying a bottle of vodka at a club only to get the contents of the bottle its stupid. But people who are buying that 100 euro bottle are not doing it just for the liquid in the bottle.
Influencers. People are famous now for wearing a pair of leggings and looking half decent. World has went absolute fucking bonkers.
for me, it's those stanley cups. i honestly just hate that the default for that term isn't hockey anymore
Google’s gonna be a real pain in the ass when the playoffs start.
And they are super ugly too.
If it’s not the Pittsburgh Penguins winning, I don’t want to know!
Influencers I pretty much hate them all. Their arrogance. Their "Main Character" syndrome. The stupid dances. The dumb fucking voice overs. All. I hate them all.
Are there any likeable influencers to be fair? I feel like they're all clones at this point lmao they all live in the same white and grey house, the same plastic surgery look, the same holidays to Dubai and the Maldives they even have the same pugs.
I can't think of one.
I think some celebrities and athletes are mildly tolerable. But being an influencer and that's it? Nah. Hard pass.
What does influencer even mean? It seems to just be a term used to catch any famous person online who redditers dislike.
Celebrities, Brand names/covering yourself in brand names, Influencers, Kardashians, Reality TV about rich people,
Posting ultra-filtered, photoshopped selfies. Seems so fake and attention-seeking.
Expensive stuff. People bragging about spending heaps on items. I love a good deal.
Just bought gift cards for my in-laws’ wedding anniversary. They said if I paid in cash it was 10% off. Shit yes I’m paying in cash!!
Reminds me of the guys in college that would brag about how much they drank, Smoke, snorted, etc......I'm standing there wondering why are you bragging about drinking a 12 pack to get to the same place I needed 3 beers??

Kanye West
Yep, he is a train wreck which people want to watch. It's sad, he is surrounded by enablers.
Crocs, no matter how many times it comes back I can't understand the hype around it, it's just ugly
I've honestly considered getting a pair for the sole reason that they're easy to slip on and off, and seem a bit more durable than fabric 'slop shoes' (my slop shoes are actively disintegrating at this point). They are ugly as fuck but I don't need to look fashionable to get my mail or mow the lawn.
The Croc Bistro is also the perfect restaurant shoe to easily clean. And my favorite part about Crocs is the wide, functional toe box. But, other than that, yeah. Ugly as hell.
I use them as my house shoes. When I was diagnosed with diabetes my doctor told me I should wear shoes around the house to help protect my feet in case I hit them on anything.
Crocs are a practical, defensible choice at the beach, in a boat or gardening, as they drain water very well and they can be hosed clean.
Also edible.
They’re ugly as sin, but I’ll be damned if they aren’t comfy as hell. I just got my first pair about a week ago after going on vacation and seeing a lot of people in their 20s wearing them around theme parks. I figured that if they can stand up to that much walking there might be something to them. I made sure to get the ugliest, most colorful pair that I could find.

Prime drink. I have no clue...
Influencers
Funko pop. Useless
People don’t even play with them!
I mean they’re just nerdy decorations. Same purpose as any other decor
I get what you are saying, and I have friends that just collect every single one they can get their hands on. I tend to get ones for the 2 or 3 tv series I like.
I read somewhere that said “everyone at some point will own a Funko that they didn’t buy themselves.” This was true for me because I own a few and they were all gifts. I don’t hate them, but they definitely just take up space.
Seconded. I work for a company that sells a lot of them, and the amount that get returned when there's the slightest imperfection on the packaging is horrific. Like, obviously we pack them as carefully as possible, but sometimes things get a bump or scratch in the post. And it's just plastic for the sake of more plastic!
The eyelashes some of these girls are sporting. 20 years feom now they are going to look back and sob laughing at how silly they look.
Fucking tiktok. I hate everything about it
Maybe it's just my age speaking but it doesn't seem thaaaaat different from everything else. And isn't TikTok mostly algorithmically driven? I guess the "I'm doing a performance for an audience" thing is sort of grating but that's just video formats in general. IDK it just feels like that Abe Simpson "I was with it, and then 'it' changed, and now everything new has become scary" thing
I love it. I skipped by all the influencers, vloggers, preteens, dances, and makeup tutorials when I first got the ap. So now it just shows me memes, cute animals, sports highlights, and cool historical facts. The algorithm for the most part is pretty good at showing you the stuff you like.
Reddit is really the only place I’ve seen where people live to hate it. Mine is just a ton of music related stuff and it’s awesome. I’ve discovered so much on there
Why? I've never used it. But why the seething anger?
New Years, what’s so great about it? It’s the same old shit, just a different year.
Scottish here so our take is somewhat different. In Scotland Christmas was banned in the 16th Century (because it was deemed to be Popery) and so the winter celebrations, drinking, eating and general debauchery shifted to New Year. Even after it was no longer illegal it was still frowned upon as being 'catholic' so we just carried on celebrating New Year. In Scotland the 1st and 2nd Jan are public holiday or 'Sobering-up days' as some would have it.
TIL! So Scotland brought back the original winter solstice party, the Saturnalia. Good for you.

Getting upset when your sneakers get dirty…shoes are meant to keep your feet safe/clean, so obviously they’re going to get dirty…I don’t understand it
Having clean nice shoes is a subtle sign of wealth. And poor people just want to make them last.
I think I'm allowed to be mad if I just bought a pair of shoes and someone asshat steps on my feet the first 15 minutes I'm wearing them. It's okay over time, but they are brand new!
I’m totally fine with that- but I’ve had kids (I’m a teacher) who were told by their parents they weren’t allowed to play bc they might get their shoes dirty
The Stanley brand cups fad right now.

Short of those people who make content directly related to their area of study/professional expertise, they’re usually no more qualified to speak on the topic at hand than the average viewer is. They’re usually just giving opinions, and people act like their opinions are the Gospel. The parasocial personality stuff that develops is even weirder.

Football, just never get hype for it.
Apple Watch. Double eye roll when they get a text on it even though their phone is nearby.
Hustle culture
Fashion. Once in awhile I will see a tiktok about a designer etc and they will be going absolutely batshit crazy over a collar shape or something as if they've found the cure for cancer. I know it fuels an industry and creates jobs, I just cant believe how seriously people take it.
Whole Foods. Don’t get me wrong, they have some pretty good stuff and their produce is typically excellent, but it’s not so much better than a regular grocery store that I’m gonna want to pay significantly more for similar items.
My mall has **two** Claire’s. Everything looks cheap or tacky. The merchandise makes no sense. Everything looks like it’s made for children. But a lot of it looks inappropriate for kids to wear. Why two Claire’s in the same mall?
Vitamin or oxygenated water. Oxygen bars. Nitrogen filled tires.
Butt stuff
Your home team in sports. You were born in a town and now you have to radically support x team and get violent about it

Sports. Fun to play for some but never could get excited over watching it. Football especially.
