In my case I’ve hated Harry Potter, skinny jeans and Tesla long before that became popular to do.
The phrase “based off of.” It’s always been stupid. I’m still ahead of the curve because many people still think it’s OK. It’s not.
Car ownership, I guess.
I guess TikTok, because I tried it once and uninstalled it. It felt like the app was using me, not the other way round.

Snapchat was fun back in like 2012-2015, didnt use it since.
X/Twitter/BlueSky I like long conversations with lots of information and while I use them now, it’s only because that’s where people post.
The Sims 4. As soon as that shit got officially showcased i was a hater. Felt gaslighted by the community for years, and now most people hate it too lmao.
Myself.
Facebook, Twitter, “influencers”, most social media in general.
Lemmy (and Reddit) are social media, but my brain keys them more as forums rather than lumping them in with other social media.
I already had a strong reaction when the term ‘Influencer’ popped up. At first it sounded like a marketing term that felt more like an insult to label someone as.
Then people started proudly proclaiming themselves Influencers and it’s only gotten worse since…
felt more like an insult
I certainly use the term as a pejorative, hence the quotes in my original comment.
Skinny jeans are hated by most people? Where? Like all fashion, it always has haters, of course. But I wasn’t aware of a peak wave of haters for skinny jeans
The stock market. Only when society collapses due to climate change and whatnot the Western hoi polloi will realize it had become a cancerous pyramid scheme that eventually runs out of tissue to metastasize in.

… do people hate that now?
Haven’t seen many people defend it since that hbomberguy video essay
Twitter. Just never saw the point.
Like someone else in this thread mentioned, Elon. I hated him well before he started doing really assholeish stuff publicly. I had plenty of liberal friends who thought he was cool and edgy and bought not-a-flamethrowers and Tesla cars. When the soccer team got trapped in a cave in Thailand and Elon called the rescue team pedophiles, I was like “I knew that guy had to be a total asshole”. Of course, now I know that was not even the tip of the iceberg.
I think I was ahead of the curve hating on “generative AI”.
Bill Gates. I hated him for being a big part of the rise of proprietary software as an institution long before the right wing conspiracy theorists started making up bullshit about him. Which is annoying because now I have to tell people I hate Gates but not because I think he’s putting 5G microchips in vaccines or whatever bullshit.
Facebook is probably a pretty good example. I quit Facebook in like 2008. Not that nobody was talking about how evil Facebook was at the time, but their evil wasn’t really as well known at the time, I don’t think.
I’m realizing a lot of these are technology-related.
Drake
Fuck Drake
Russell brand, back when he was just a homeopathic, somewhat progressive pseudo-intellectual moron. I remember specifically avoiding Get Him to the Greek bc I thought he was a creep, didn’t think he’d actually be charged with SA though. His pivot to manosphere right wing bullshit doesn’t get enough attention, bc of worse people like Rogan.
Same, I disliked him even before the Andrew Sachs business. His stand up was gross. He hid his behaviour behind the veneer of progressiveness.
Apparently, the large gaps in stall doors. 22ish years later, a number of places around my region are finally installing stalls and floor to ceiling walls without gaps. Making eye contact while taking a shit was always awkward AF.
