I couldn't care less about any of them, I don't understand why people follow them on social media or read gossip about their love lives.
Makes zero sense to me
Souls games.
Ed Sheeran.
In-N-Out.
Mario Kart World and that new Donkey Kong game. everything about the Switch 2 looks underwhelming
Gen alpha stuff

Lemmy.
It's just another pointless link dump, most of the posts are stupid, very few of them have anything to do with the community in which they're posted. Most of the people commenting cannot read, are incapable of analyzing information, and basically do not have a brain.
There's a few technical features Lemmy offers, but from an experience standpoint it's every bit as bad as "the other place"
Have you actually seen a single thing posted here that would make you say oh this community is the place to be! Nope. And you never will.
It's the same recycled overcooked memes from 20 years ago, moronic political posts, bad science, misinformation, half-truths and so forth
Oh and who could forget the self-styled Linux experts who know fuck all about Linux!
Oh god, I feel like I’m going to be massacred.
K-pop
hey, you're valid... I'm from Korea and it's crazy seeing how people drool over kpop nowdays. no attention for the actual good music, the korean rock and hip hop and funk and jazz and so on... just the corporate boybands.
It's the same shit that's popular in the US. manufactured popularity. we could talk about all the factors about how they pulled it off, but who cares, it's a bunch of shitty music created by desperate people selling their souls to rapists who prey on modern social isolation to sell empty fantasies to the masses.
that's the point of the music! you should be proud to dislike it. now go listen to something good, like Jaurim (자우림)
Isn't it basically the same as back when western boybands were popular, just with more internet? I suppose I don't quite get those, either, but it's not that hard to figure out why these groups are so appealing to many girls and women.

Pick-up trucks for anyone that's not a farmer, construction worker or dirtbike rider.
They are so dumb and impractical for normal driving. I don't get it.
I believe there was some tax-benefit for them in the US at some point..? Then it makes a tiny bit if sense i guess.
But what's even dumber: cross-overs. Worst of both worlds.

Taylor Swift. I actually like her music. I also understand that hardcore fans will exist for every artist. But Swifties take it to another level. I'm lowkey impressed by that fandom, but don't get it.
You know how people who are into Q-Anon and Pizza-gate look at strange symbols and odd numerology to find strange connections to prove whatever crazy thing they believe. Taylor Swift like to release albums, singles and tours using favorite numbers, hidden symbols and hints in her other songs. So it fits that section of the internet who love to analyze to death things to find clues. Since she is so prolific there is enough material for her to hide these Easter eggs to generate endless conspiracies about when things are released. Since she does drop hints it makes sense that people love to find them. Its like a puzzle-game mixed with a conspiracy theory mixed with a "viral marketing campaign" all in one. And instead of unraveling the fabric of democracy she release music people like.

I mean… pretty much anything that gets hyped. For me, hype is one of the most reliable signals that I’m not going to be into something. That said, I’ll admit that the hype itself often keeps me from even giving things a fair chance. So it’s not that I’ve disliked everything that’s been hyped, but more that the ones I did try and didn’t enjoy made me even less likely to bother with the rest.

Balatro.
Almost every single mention of it I see online makes it sound like the most freaking addictive drug. Any of you seen that Star Trek TNG episode where this weird addictive headset game takes over the Enterprise? Just like that.
It's probably a good game, but all those posts feel really off putting to me.
Big number go up, get brain drug dose. not much more to it than that.

Tik Tok. It's just vine but no one is funny. How many videos of people just driving their cars with some nonsense text overlaid, like, how many hundreds of that are needed? How are you going to stand out? It's just a way for the uncreative to take part in creativity. Which they aren't.
Just like the fast food thing, TikTok is literally addictive. It’s the new breed of addictive tech. It’s the fentanyl of tech.
Switch 2
Blockchain. I've always seen it as a solution looking g for a problem. And I'm a 12+ experienced software developer now.
Meh I think the decentralization is a pretty nice use case actually. It’s great that no one can shut it down and no centralized entity can just decide that your money is gone now (for cryptocurrencies).
Look at Monero. Since it's almost impossible to track governments are actually trying to ban it but they can’t shut it down because anyone can just spin up a node and there’s nothing any government can do about it except banning it from exchanges. I think that’s pretty neat, although the environmental cost for this technology together with LLMs are absolutely crazy
