I stole this thread from another forum and thought it'd be fun. So what is it that you don't get? I'll post some of the responses from the other thread (note: these were written by various people and i don't agree with all of them, but for the sake of explanation here we go)
music:
Modern metal. To paraphrase Homer Simpson, why do we need new bands? Everyone knows metal acheived perfection in 1988. It's a scientific fact.
Pink Floyd. WTF??? Rambling, dull and sleep-inducing.
Politics:
I don't follow politics much but I do know this - in this day and age you'd think people knew what the voting system was all about, but you'd be wrong. This whole "lesser of two evils" crap has got to stop. It is not a two-party system, but everyone is duped into thinking it is.
TV:
The reality shows must end. So you think you can dance? Guess what? I don't give a shit. And that Rockstar: Supernova is just all kinds of pathetic.
Video games:
Why does everyone love role playing games, particularly Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda so much? They're so BORING!!!! Gimme Contra or Halo anyday, running around blowing shit up instead of buying a +1 fire spell or some crap and then waiting my turn to try to land a punch when I finally find someone to fight.
Will Farrell: Going back to my dogshit reference above, the man was the "best" cast member from SNL that included the comic genius of Whosisname and Whatsherface, that's like winning a gold medal at the special olympics....gay. The man has one character (accent non withstanding) and he really doesn't even have the talent to be bringing Vince Vaughn coffee, let alone co starring with him.
Owen Wilson: The Jeff Goldblum of the talentless generation. Nuff said
Margaret Cho: Though she's more of a comedian, I'll lump her in. Yes Margaret, we realize you're fat and ok with it, it's not fucking funny anymore!
Etc. etc. Don't turn this into a flame war and it should be fun
