it seems like every time something becomes widely popular, the same group of people steps in and stirs up hate about it, calling it "overrated", a "rip-off", or even just simply "mainstream", as if that automatically makes it a bad thing.
green day comes out with one of the bestselling albums of the 2000s. people hate green day. dane cook is considered america's top comedian. people hate dane cook. avatar is nominated for top film award. people hate avatar.
for every large fan base, there is a loud, obnoxious anti-fan base that does nothing but repeat the same slogans ... "new green day sucks, i like old green day." "dane cook is a rip-off." "it's just pocahontas with smurfs!"
why? do they want to feel like they have a better, more advanced taste than normal people? maybe.
are these people trying to be different, rebellious, unique? i hope not, because they always end up outnumbering the actual fans.
i'm sorry, i'm starting to rant. it just makes me sad that a lot of people think that being unique means you can't appreciate things that are mainstream.
