No matter how old we get, we still find ourselves keeping up with the latest trends.

Binging the show everyone's talking about, downloading the newest app, and partaking in the latest social media craze, all in an effort to appear cool to our friends and colleagues.

Of course, not all of these trends are "cool" to us.

In fact, sometimes we grudgingly partake in these trends, no matter how idiotic they seem to us.

While others have no concerns about being cool, and won't even think about joining in with everyone else, choosing instead to gleefully look down on them.

A recent Redditor was curious to hear about all the popular fads which ignites an instant eye-roll in some people, leading them to ask:
"What's something extremely popular but you just can't give a f*ck about it?"

What Exactly Are They Trying To Influence?

"Influencers."

"They have a different vibe than I have/aspire to have, different ways of expressing themselves, different values, different beauty standards, etc."- smieklinsh

"So-called influencers."

'My personal opinion."

"If you like them, cool."

'No harm done."- queen_tabby

" Elon Musk.'

"Isn't aren’t part of my life, so why should I take time from my life to think about the crap they’re doing?"- attention21

Isn't It Good News Either Way?

"Gender reveal parties."- Back2Bach

Just Another Distraction

" TikTok never got into it."- thneakythnake660

How Many Strangers Are Looking At Your Pictures?

"Followers on social media."- Single_Goat3138

"Figure" Heads being the operative word

"The Royal Family."- Natasha_JB

Comfort Over Quality

"Sneakers."

"Like, I’ll indulge and buy a pair I think are really cool."

"But other than that, why tf would you spend $2000+ on a pair of shoes that actually cost less than $10."- eggtada

All Of Them!

"The Kardashians."- BeeImpressive7749

Fame Is Seldom The Same As Qualified

"I’d say entertainers who are so wealthy and think they are the voices of normal people."-mayoinstrumentalz

Or Anything Else About Him?

"Ye's Opinion."- SlimePrice

Just How Real Was It?

"Reality TV."- brycebrycehayeshayes

Can It Even Be Considered A Chat?

"SnapChat Streaks."

"Since when was a fire emoji and a number a symbol of popularity and friendship?"

"I just don't have the time for this sh*t."- Yes-I-Have-Arrived

Quality Over Quantity

"Starbucks."- Maleficent_Insect71

The best thing about opinions and personal taste is that they are unique to every individual.

No two people have to like the same thing, nor should we judge those who dislike something we like and vice-versa.

Even if it's hard to say it's unreasonable that not even two people should give Elon Musk or Ye any time of day.

Though again, that's just an opinion...

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

Woman Speaks Out After Prison Sentence To Reveal What Led Her To Hurl Black Paint At Sister-In-Law On Her Wedding Day

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
