Popular Things You're Just Not Interested In

[SEWIGuy]

**Superhero movies. I have no idea what the Marvel Comic Universe is and really don't care to learn.
**Golf. Used to play it and watch it - now I do neither.
**Video Games.  We had a wii when the kids were younger, and that's the last time I played anything.

[SectorZ]

"Popular" music.

[Max Rockatansky]

Video games are something I gradually lost interest in as adult and stopped playing around 2009.  Occasionally I'll play an older NES or Gameboy game, but I have to really super bored to even have the idea spring to mind. 

I can't get into long running modern Streaming/TV series all that often.  My wife watches a bunch but it is too much of a time commitment for me.

Football (the kind with downs).

TV and movies in general, with the one exception of the Minecraft movie (which I haven't watched yet but plan to).

[Big John]

Golf, pro wrestling/MMA, NASCAR, modern TV or streaming series, hard rock/heavy metal, Hollywood/celebrities.

[JayhawkCO]

99% of all TV, anime, baseball, motorsports, fast food, most Italian food, having a nice lawn, celebrity gossip, social media, video games, religion.

I enjoyed the first set of Marvel movies, but then Disney made too many series and just bad movies.  Doctor Strange and the Whatzithoozit of Madness or whatever it was called did it in for me.  My kids will get me into a show here and there, but I'm not half as compelled as I once was to watch them.

The industry seems to be taking the hint, but doesn't know what else to do at this point.

Regarding super hero stuff, The Boys and Invincible are way fresher takes on the genre.  Not handling everything with kid gloves and putting everything clearly in R/TV MA territory certainly helped both stand out.

+1 for superhero anything.

Sports in general

[NWI_Irish96]

Florida
Texas
Pickup trucks
Country Music
Guns
Religion

[Molandfreak]

Fashion trends. Yes, even in high school. I'd rather wear something from Duluth Trading or Carhartt that is made to last than some designer garbage that will fall apart after 5 washes.

[kphoger]

celebrity gossip

Although, am I the only one who thinks fewer people nowadays care about it than used to?

My feelings toward the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the live-action remakes are the same in that they are simply a cash grab by Disney. With the MCU, the individual movies should stand largely on their own rather than having to rely on the audience member's knowledge of previous movies. The way they announce the 'cycles' of the the MCU makes it feel like there isn't as much incentive to create a good movie but treat/write them like soap operas.

And with the live-action remakes, it's just a lack of originality without actually doing anything new and exciting over what was already done. I've seen a couple clips of the new Snow White movie and it just didn't look good. It looked cheap, like it was more of a school play.

The cartoon movie remakes are made for people like my wife.  They are popcorn movies that rely entirely on nostalgia to gather an audience.  I've been telling her for years that they were all just trash cash grabs.  She really didn't come around to it until the lead actress for Snow White kept making social media missteps.

99% of all...

Sturgeon's Law generally holds up from a distance and time perspective. Though, sometimes the inverse is true; most of that 90% of anything isn't as bad as the critics' reviews and the public's hyperbolic commentary.

One thing that keeps me buoyant is turning off the news; literally limiting myself to 5-10 minutes a week. And in that case, mostly just local stuff and weather. It's either a nauseating distraction or helplessly salacious information over-demanding attention.

I know there's lots of people with no interest in social media but I also keep that to 10-15 minutes a week and that's enough. It does help that many of my friends and family have also abandoned it as well. I've turned off all notifications and that takes away the urge to check it.

TV/movies are things I watch rarely; mostly just don't care...but I'll binge watch if I'm sick, on a long airplane ride, or if the weather sucks.

Drinking alcohol - I'm just over noisy people and usually don't like how I feel after a drink or two in public

Skulls on everything - everything is not as ruthless and bad-ass as you think it is

Tattoos - so many other ways to waste money and time unless you really need the attention or were captured by Nazis

Clothing with lots of words on it - human billboards

Using speakerphone in public - good to know you have attention span of a toddler

Tech in everything / phone connected to everything

Bonus points if it's a Punisher logo.

[Takumi]

-Football (pretty much every variant)
-Tattoos
-Streaming music
-Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
-The increase in tech in cars in general
-Drifting, maybe an odd choice given my username here is from an anime about drifting, but I'm not into it.
-Cannabis/marijuana. Tried it enough times to know it's not for me. Last time I smoked I had a panic attack so severe I had to go to the ER. I'll stick with the occasional beer or glass of wine.
-Newer video games. I have a Switch, but for awhile now I've only used it for Pokemon and playing older games on it.

Amazing how so much stuff here matches my own list.

[roadman65]

Computers under the hood of cars
Lack of CD Players in today's model cars.
Most of today's music.
Using my phone 24/7 like many.
Using a GPS while driving or having it pick what route to take.
Cheeseburgers.
Paying with debit cards.

Busy tuning carburetors?  I thought working on those sucked ass.  EFI is definitely good use of an onboard CPU.

I'm not talking about that computer.

Although I remember the time electronic fuel injection came into the market, my mechanic then advised against getting them.

That's because your mechanic knew modern EFI systems are lower maintenance and it meant less work.  They aren't new tech and have been around since the late 1950s.

Paying with debit cards.

What do you have against debit cards?

[LilianaUwU]

Fortnite. My disinterest isn't like a lot of people who hate on things because they are popular, though... I see why it would be so popular, but it's just not my thing.
