People Confess Which Wildly Popular Things They Have No Interest In

In every generation, there are certain behaviors that are popular among many people. Sometimes, it's the "cool" thing to do. Other times, people just get swept up in the fad.

When I was in high school, the popular thing was to have the funniest Facebook statuses. In college, it was all the rage to smoke pot. By the time I started my first adult job, everyone I knew was watching -- and theorizing about -- Game of Thrones. In my office, you were ostracized if you didn't watch and discuss it every week.

While there's no shame in being into what's popular at the time if it's something that truly interests you, there's also no shame in choosing not to partake in the popular thing.

Redditors certainly believe that, since they broke down which popular things they have no interest in.


Redditor snowmanll00ll was curious about this, so he asked:

"What is something very popular that you have absolutely no interest in?"

Family Celebrity

"YouTube family channels, some of those children will probably grow to resent their parents"

– PlutoTheGod_

"It doesn’t matter the medium, it’s always a douchebag move to exploit your children for your own gain."

– MenosDaBear

I Idolize

"Becoming extremely die hard fans for an idol group or probably anything."

– kobold9070

"Young people giving up their personal freedom and expression for cash and fame seems very wrong, these contracts are horrible, especially in East Asia"

– Sanzhar17Shockwave

Animalistic

"Chasing squirrels around the yard and barking at them once they run up a tree. Seems to be all the rage with my dog though."

– 80burritospersecond

"...you're a cat aren't you?"

– littlemarcus91

Simon Says Follow Me

"Following Influencers"

– sparklingshanaya

"It's hilarious how they actually call themselves 'influencers'. Half the cr*p they do should not be influenced ... especially to younger people! It's kind of weird how they crave that much attention."

– MissyCobain

"Listening to influencers. It’s a barrage of non-stop schilling of questionable investments without them accepting responsibility or facing consequences."

– jmmorart317

Why Are They Here?

"The bachelor and bachelorette tv shows."

– junior_emo_mcgee

"Right? It’s so odd to me like, they’re attractive people but they couldn’t have a relationship without a tv show? So how bad are they really and how many red flags do they have?"

– PlutoTheGod_

The Dark Hole Of Social Media

" TikTok. I just don't want it, and never interested to see what the people there are doing."

"Although, I am aware that if I decided to install it, I might get addicted to it. So no thank you either way."

– GreatNameLOL69

"My older sister almost ALWAYS starts a convo with “I saw this on tiktok that..” at least once at family gatherings, like stfu! I don’t care! A lot of “information” on there is false. But because some random girl on tiktok who said her father's great uncles cousins neighbor is a doctor, I’m supposed to believe it."

– GimmieDatCooch

Your Lungs Thank You

"vaping"

– dourceo

"That’s good you should have no interest in vaping, it’s not meant to do because it’s “popular” or “cool” it’s supposed to help curve and help quit cigarette addiction, which it does do, but just as cigs, people just started doing it to be “cool.""

– lionexx

Let Me Take A Selfie

"Pouting for selfie"

– sparklingshanaya

"A friend got married a couple of months ago, and about 70% of her wedding photos are of her pouting or making duck lips at the camera. For someone who says she loved her wedding, she sure looks sad and/or bored in her photos."

– twothirtysevenam

Tee Off

"Golf. If it’s nice out I have so many other things I could do"

– BulloxBaxter

"I came here to say golf as well. I work in the corporate world and people just don't understand how I don't play golf, it blows their minds. I just don't get the draw though, and it's crazy expensive to go play a round. The excuse people always give me is "it's a great way to get outside!". Well turns out so is hiking or fly fishing and it doesn't cost hundreds of dollars to go stand on someone's lawn."

– EntropyBier

It's A Bird, It's A Plane...

"Superhero movies. I used to love them, but I burned out very quickly when too many were released, and they're really all the same. I do love Deadpool, though."

– BeskarVagina

While I gotta disagree with that one, to each their own.

Just because everyone around you is into the popular thing, doesn't mean you have to be. If you have no interest in what's currently in vogue, that's okay!

Be who you are, not who everyone else wants you to be.
