This is a question Things I've gone off

Spimf says: I've always enjoyed listening to Pink Floyd, but lately I've noticed if my iPod plays any of their tracks, I skip them. I'm starting to realise I've gone off them. What have you gone off lately?

And that's fucking stupid too.
The Beatles are objectively great by the same measure. So are U2 despite the fact that I can't stand them.

I'm not saying that things have to be popular to be great. Obscure and/or complex and difficult things can also be great, although even there I'd say there has to be some kind of consensus, even if it's only a consensus of critics and other experts. But 'The Beatles are shit' is just twattish.

I agree
Although I suspect most opinions written on here are just to get a rise out of people.

Family Guy did a good bit on people that slate off popular culture, where Brian said he hated Slumdog Millionaire and Titanic but defended the movie Cocktail. He's a "contrarian" rather than someone with a valid opinion. He thinks (incorrectly) that criticising these things makes him look like the most intelligent person in the room.

I thoroughly expect "Family Guy's shit too" to be the next witticism.

The more angry paragraphs you write on this the more you illustrate the problem.
