What are some things you really hate about everything from 2000 to now? Popular culture? Artists? Movies? Famous icons/historical events?

Everything you just mentioned there, mostly media based. A lot of people think of me as a snob but most of the entertainment in the late 2000s and from what seems like from now on is just generic, weak and even pointless in terms of quality. I liked the early 2000s but after 2005 I had never slept during movies in the cinema (I was forced), returned CD's because of how stale the music is and just stop watching TV in general. Mainstream used to be really good, so basically I hate the down spiral of quality in media entertainment.

This thread is amusing. Rock music hasn't degraded. It has changed to fit a new demographic; rock music constantly does that to adjust to the new young generation. Sure, there's a lot of commercialized tripe, but every decade had that. This decade had a lot of good rock music as well.

Here here, rock music is still excellent. It's just you have to dig through a lot of indie and other crap to get there due to every band being able to have an internet presence. Plus, I'm really digging the post-hardcore bands that have emerged in the 00s (The Fall of Troy, Dance Gavin Dance). Then you have bands like The Mars Volta, that always blow me away. The Foo Fighters are still decent. Muse have declined in my eyes since the release of their new album though. I could still appreciate Black Holes and Revelations because it was an experimental album yet still sounded like Muse.

Okay, I'm ranting. Nonetheless, the rock music in this decade is fine. You just need to know where to look.

The second intifada terror wave that killed thousands of innocents in Israel. That and reality TV.

I listen to extreme metal; IMO, it's slowly been getting better. It's probably the strongest form of music currently.

OT: The lyrical content of some of the mainstream music out there. Surely there must be something better to do than fucking every other night.

But no, that's about it.

Pixar have gone back to it, in some respects
they made the princess and the frog, and as it was a success they want to make more 2D films :)
the joys of being an animation student ^.^

Twilight, Nickelback, the War in Iraq/Afghanistan, every man and his dog starting up an indie band, the beginning of the downfall of gaming in the late 2000, How suddenly internet memes became a hipster thing, hipsters and the list goes on.

The downfall of Rock as a mainstream music genre.

This is an excellent point.
I also dislike the rise of motion capture gaming. I also despise the rise of 3d media, and even high definition in most cases.

I have a problem with people who still think that everything is getting worse and that humanity doesn't have much time and all of that pesimistic bullshit.
Hating everything and everyone around you, remembering the "good old times", that we have never been a part of, or hanging on to a memory so old and distorted that it probably has little to do with what really happened - that sort of thinking has become very popular recently.
I guess someone will eventually analyze it and give it a name, like "the age of pesimism", and the future generations will learn all about it their schools on Saturn or something.

Reality. Fucking. Television. It seems like as soon as it became popular, TV went down the crapper.

But...I love Hell's kitchen. What's more entertaining than having a Schandenfreude experience?

OT: I might be the only one, but Superhero/comic book films.

Don't get me wrong, I liked The Dark Knight, Watchmen and V for Vendetta. However, most of these films are not that great.

It follows the same tired plot-line: Meet hero before he was a hero, hero gets powers and motivation, hero saves people with powers, villain shows up, Big climatic showdown, the end.

I would add youtube, but only the constant flow of people filming themselves on a webcam.

EDITED NOTE* Although, I'm not completly dissing it because it gave me material against IBM.

Too many people liking Indy. Seriously before this fad, there were some great indy bands. Bird of Tokyo been one of them. Metal has not degraded, you just got to find the right bands.

The cartoon's are nothing like the 90's cartoons.

I think it was a pretty good decade overall (minus all the was and terrorism).

I mean it was the decade my country got affordable broadband... that was pretty much THE internet for me. I moved on from console gaming to PC gaming. DVD replaced VHS, we got portable MP3 players, Saw some great TV series (Mythbusters, the Wire, Battlestar Galacica, House)

OK, what I hate: Rise of the App-Phone:
Not smart phone, Smart phones have been around since 1999, that's jsut a PDA+Phone... and App Phone is something that must be fed with applications only the PROBLEM is this is in inherently locked down and oppressive and exploitative environment

Apple's New Monopoly:
A by product of Microsoft's monopoly in the 1990's now Apple have just used the same tactics but to carve a de-facto mobile-monopoly. Stereos are not made "MP3 compatible" but "iPod Compatible" and along with that
