Zombies and Vampires... Never understood why the lore for each is so variable...
Instagram... Isn't it the same as facebook just less?
F2P games... So many games aren't games anymore. They're second jobs.
24-7 sports coverage... I love sports, but the fact that it's given more importance than any other news disturbs me.

I can't really think of any. I guess I just ignore the annoying ones.

How has no one stated Facebook as a hated fad. Or social media in general? It is ruining our lives.

I put a post on Facebook saying how stupid it is to post about burning popcorn with a picture of it and other mundane crap. Questioning people if they would call all of us on their friend list one at a time to tell us? And I got hell over it. It's like telling a Christian that Jesus is not real.

6. People that dis things that are popular to make themselves look more rational than other people.


Oh, my biggest peeve is Beats headphones.

Mine used to be iPhones but because of how crappy Android has gotten after 4.2 and given that the Galaxy S6 will have no removable battery nor MicroSD card (not like SD's are useful without being able to manage storage, I sure miss being able to mount as mass storage *sigh*), it's just the Beats now.

2. People who care about what other people drive. Yes, I consider this a FAD. Just do what you want and STFU. Didn't your mother ever tell you to mind your own business?

Feminism.

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/bar...elor-nation-70-men-aged-20-34-are-not-married

After decades of feminism, Crouse noted that young men are now the ones who set the parameters for intimate relationships, and those increasingly do not include a wedding ring.

“A lot of women fear marriage. While feminism is a spent force, the ultimate consequences of that philosophy is a whole generation of women who don’t want any man to tell them what to do, and don’t really understand the give and take that is necessary for a marriage relationship.”

CNSNews.com asked Crouse if that means the cultural pendulum has finally swung back in the male direction after decades of feminism.

“That’s not certain yet,” she replied. “There’ still a lot of anti-male stuff out there.”

Feminism has largely achieved its goal of equality in the workplace, so the movement has “lost relevance” for young women who are now earning more college and professional degrees than men, she pointed out. However, feminism’s effects on the culture – including the historically low marriage rate - will linger for some time to come, she noted.

“Feminism was supposed to bring women happiness,” Crouse said. “But the research shows that women today are much more unhappy then they have been in the past. They’ve ended up with far more opportunities, but their personal happiness is way down.”

A lot of isms there, reminds me of this quote

It's not that I condone fascism or any 'ism' for that matter. Ism's, in my opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an 'ism,' he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: 'I don't believe in Beatles. I just believe in me.' A good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off of people.

hashtags definitely

i'm on the fence with zombies, because I like some zombie stuff, like The Walking Dead, but there's definitely too much of it. Especially hate seeing it on real guns and accessories.
