What Grinds Your Gears?

This can be about Magic, Life, or anything I just like to see what annoys people.

My top three are:
1. Racism
2. Homophobia
3. Idiots

1. Stupidity
2. Socialism
3. Political Correctness

The ironic thing has been going on for years here. It's now ironic to hate people who are ironic.

Im in the south, so it took a while to catch on. It just popped up about a year and a half ago. Its just so annoying how you can't be a genuine fan of anything these days without someone thinking "oh he's just being ironic."

[Dudecore]

Yeah I know. Hipster mentality is firmly entrenched in New York. It's so annoying when someone likes all the worst albums by famous artists, because the mainstream stuff is popular. Or anything new sucks because the original was lesser known.

Or people with My Little Pony avatars...yuck.

I remember going to the larger metropolitan cities like Dallas and Austin for shows and seeing it there being glad my city wasnt like that. Now its everywhere.

Another thing that really gets me is nerd culture being socially acceptable. When I was in middle school, I wore Star Wars tshirts and had LotR notebooks and got made fun of everyday. Move on to high school where I read Arthur C Clarke novels by myself at lunch and played Magic during PE and I also got made fun of then. Now its actually cool to be a nerd?!

I have a ton of qualms with various things. I could write a book.

[Dudecore]

I feel exactly the same. Shows like "King of the Nerds", Nerdist Podcast, Big Bang Theory. I just think it's being marketed to now, that is what makes it annoying.

King of the Nerds pissed me off, because they had a NASA scientist and mathematicians competing against comic book nerds...a pro videogame player won the thing. What are we even saying about our culture?

People latch onto these certain groups as an alternative for an actual personality. You can just buy it at the store, and advertisers are gonna find you no matter what group you're in.

A comic book movie made a s***-billion dollars in the box office, and "The Master" by Paul Thomas Anderson lost money. It's like any business, if people didnt like it then they won't see it. It's this perpetual adolescence that allows them to just repackage childhood things sell it back.

[Mikefrompluto]

It took just one commercial viewing for me to know that King of the Nerds would fill me with rage if I tried to watch it. It looked like they just tried waaayyyy too hard. The Big Bang Theory is the most unfunny thing I've ever seen. And I stopped listening to the Nerdist because Chris Hardwick was always talking about how much he hates that the nerd culture is popular, yet he named his podcast the Nerdist.

I have not seen a single comic book movie that I was impressed by. Maybe the Watchmen. I think im the only person in the world that hated the Avengers.
