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...

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
