I don't like Nirvana. What are some things you incessantly catch shit for?

I don't drink, not because I'm a recovering alcoholic, or because I'm religious, or because I think it's immoral, or any other judgmental type of reason.

I just don't like the taste and it tends to make me feel nauseous well before it makes me feel good.

For some reason nobody can accept this simple explanation.

I'm a man, and Tangled is one of my favorite movies, right up there with Lion King, Phantom of The Opera and Cloverfield.

I also can't stand football and would much prefer to go see a play or something than be around sports.

This would all be fine and dandy except that I'm straight. People tend to just nod and say "Okay, so you're pretty much the quintessential gay guy" (especially since my best friends are all girls) and then I tell them I'm straight and they flip out and yell something about the friendzone or whatever.

I can't name actors or band members because I don't care enough to learn them. I also don't watch that many movies, so my conversations usually go like this.

Them: "Do you like (actor I don't know)?"

Me: "Who?"

Them: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO (actor I don't know) IS?!??! Have you watched (movie I haven't seen)?!"

Me: "No."

Them: "What do you even do?"

the number of must-see movies I haven't seen. The list is rather embarrassing. We're talking Jurassic Park and Ghost Busters here, guys.

Edited to add: And it's not like I'm too young to understand the awesomeness of said movies. I'm in my 20's, these are things I should have seen.

I don't like hockey and I'm Canadian.

EDIT: Didn't expect so many comments. Let me clarify, I don't care much about most sports, however I did watch the Canada vs USA Olympic finals with a lot of interest. Gotta beat em Americans ;) I do play some sports btw, but am mostly into non team based stuff: snowboarding, indoor/outdoor climbing, hiking, swimming, biking etc. I find it silly that ppl spend so much of their time and money idolizing sports. You could live and enjoy your own life but most choose to revolve their life around a bunch of millionaires that don't really care about them.

I'm just not a fan of music festivals. I don't do hard drugs and hate large crowds. I live in California and people freak out over Coachella saying they would "sell their souls" for weekend 1 tickets and I just don't get it. I love music and all, but camping in a packed field for 3 days in 100 degree heat with a bunch of people who are there mostly to say they went doesn't sound like a good time to me. I'll stay home and have my own dance party.

I always catch shit for not like the band Tool. I think they're extremely talented guys, I just really don't like their sound.

I don't think Megan Fox is "OMG FUCKING SO HOT" like everyone says she is. She has great eyes, that's it. *Edit: It's not just because her toe thumbs, everyone has imperfections. It's her face...it's just not appealing to me.

I dont want to have kids. I mean, I dont like the idea of all those early stages as babies, where you have to be pendant of them 24/7. And then having to raise them up and all... too much work for me.

But of course, the minute someone says something like this, everyone else goes BUT WHY NOT?!

I'm an English Major on track for Creative Writing. And I'm not in the major because I'm bad at math or bad at Science, I'm actually good in those subjects and enjoy them. English is something I've always loved though and something I wanted to learn more about and gear my life towards. I get so much crap for this... it's kind of ridiculous.

I feel bad for Justin Bieber. It must suck not being able to go on the internet without hearing how much people hate you without knowing you. Then I remember he's loaded.

Edit: So apparently Justin Bieber is an asshat. I feel a little less sympathetic.

darkeyesgirl · 4 months

I dislike Beyonce. I realize that here, it may not matter, but in my circle of associations and with my kids, apparently it is awful. No one gets it.

AimeeEvilpixie · 4 months

I don't drink alcohol. I just don't like it. People who learn this are invariably amazed, and then try to convince me I haven't found the right drink yet.

Now when I go out, I have the bartender put cranberry juice in a wine glass and no one bothers me.

Other things I don't like that confuse people: Chocolate, coffee, carbonation, red meat, and lemon.

Facebook.

I don't have one and have never been interested in one. Same thing when MySpace was popular. People just can't understand why someone wouldn't be interested in it.

I hate dolphins, and cetaceans in general. I find them to be sinister. People around here give me a hard time about it. Apparently if you live in Hawaii you have to love dolphins and whales.

I don't like Keira Knightley. Her acting is awful, and she's worryingly thin.

I hate Family Guy. I just don't find it funny. People try to force me to watch it saying "but THIS episode is funny!" It's not.

I hate Italian food. Some are practically offended when I say that.

I don't smoke weed. I get my head chewed off by pretty much everyone I know for NOT smoking.

I like the prequels. I saw them at the same age as most of you probably saw the original trilogy and I loved them. Even Phantom Menace (because of Darth Maul really)

winterandautumn · 4 months

Never seen Star Wars. It's not because I don't like it, I just don't think there's much point in me watching it now because it wouldn't hold the nostalgia factor. It's probably only good if you have the memories to back it up.

Some of my girlier friends give me shit for liking video games and the fantasy genre in general. I've been playing Skyrim all the time lately (is there any other way to play it?) so one of my friends asked what exactly is so good about it. So I tried to explain first the depth of storytelling and things to do, then I talked about the amount of lore and that I loved how well-developed the Elder Scrolls world is. The same reason I like any other fantasy series. Anyway she clearly wasn't listening to begin with and said 'oh right, I forgot how cool you are!' and laughed.

We're 19 and I don't get how some people still have an idea of 'the norm' and that people who like different things are deviating from this normalcy.

I got shit for not liking Napoleon Dynamite. Even though that movie was a muted, one-joke, droning pile of pure boredom. No, throwing the Trapper Keeper out the window isn't hilarious. Eating tater tots out of your pocket isn't the grand punchline. Feeding a quesadilla to a llama...fuck you.

Most people that I know say that they are big fans of nirvana but can only name one song - Smells like teen spirit. So maybe it's not that most people like nirvana they just like that one song.

I hate the Beatles. Well, I guess I don't hate them, but I really don't enjoy their music. I respect the role they played in music, but that's about it.

Edit: "role" sorry, I guess I just had "rock n roll" stuck in my head when I was typing this earlier haha.

I like Nirvana but I perfer almost every other grunge band a lot more (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc.). Nirvana was very influencial though, before Smells Like Teen Spirit came out Whitesnake and other bands dominated MTV - you had these music videos with models on cars, rock stars with teased hear, etc. When Teen Spirit came out it was soo different because it looked like regular guys you would see in your high school class - it was more relatable than the 80's glam and hair metal

I enjoy watching Jersey Shore. I find it legitimately entertaining if you take it for what it really is. A bunch of idiots living together and drinking a lot. It's really fun to watch them do stupid shit and struggle with simple concepts and speaking. Whenever I tell someone I like the show, they usually just make fun of me or act like I'm a complete idiot.
