Meh, I think they have some taste. My dad likes Suffragette City and Modern Love (and Ziggy Stardust), and My mom is constantly trying to forget she was born before 1980 so she doesn't indulge me in her nostalgia as much as my dad does. I like most of the music my dad likes, but I also like more. He just doesn't like anything made after 2000. He's very judgmental of us "damn Kids".Tallim said:
I make him sound like a bit more of a grouch then he actually is. He's not as close minded as I'm making it seem.
Hating Football and preferring Rugby.
Somehow, Football is more "Hardcore" than Rugby. I fail to see why, as Rugby makes you feel the players pain just by looking at them. And Football players have that padding on them. Rugby players do not. Do the math.

Thrash Metal. People who dont know what it is, group it in with normal metal and judge me for it.
Also PS3 owners in my group of friends think I give two shits about what they have to say about the console war and try to insult me for having a 360. Its pathetic, "you have a PS3 I have an Xbox360 get over it you fucking tard".
I also hate football(soccer). Apparently there is an unwritten British rule saying if you dont like football you are a lesser man. People try to insult me saying im a "puffter" because I dont like watching men in shorts get moody while chasing a ball around.

Mad Men was awesome! I just wished they kept focusing more on the advertising towards the end of the third season, and less on the wife drama. But none the less, that show was awesome, and if you ever wanted to watch a bunch of sharped dress men being sexist and getting stuff done, then Mad Men was the show to watch. That show had a such a good atmosphere, and I really liked it. That and also the characters were for the most part really believable.DustyDrB said:
Lets see world of warcraft my friend loves to make fun of me for playing it but then when he got it he now is more addictied to the game then I was.
Same friend likes to make fun of me because I listen to "gay" music just because it isn't someone screaming or Icp.
I also get made fun of for being an atheist and libertarian by my conservite grandparents.
Also get made fun of because I tried pot a couple of times and I'm now seen has that stoner guy. Also for enjoying a smoke ever now and then

Again, thats only mostly trueseanmcdow said:
And in the spirit of keeping this thread alive (cause I like it), I might as well add that people (even my good friends) think I'm weird for liking things like this:
and while my friend doesn't hate me for this, he certainly doesn't understand why I like it.
Just cause Yoko was one of the reasons the band broke up does not mean the song is bad. And they also don't like "Two of Us" either, and that disappoints me.
On the other hand, the people who make fun of me for like 2001 and Life on Mars like those two Beatles songs I just listed, so I can't be too mad at them.
I get made fun of for enjoying:
Anime (they're all gay apparently...)
Pokemon (Only queer and kids play it, you need to play a real game. Oh, the battle system and deep RPG elements don't make it a real game?)
LittleBigPlanet (Dude, it's just a platformer, come play Haloz)
ModNation (It's only a cart racer. Correct. A freaking awesome cart racer)
Chrono Trigger (I don't understand this one, but it happens)
Fallout 3
I liked it ok? It was fun, and was a good game. Not a good fallout game, but a good game
Classic rock (AC/DC, Billy Joel, ZZTop, etc) (apparently, only rap is cool)
Cage the Elephant (people who did opening song to borderlands, which leads to)
Borderlands (really? why do people not like this one?)
Command and Conquer (specifically, the first decade) (Dude, the originals are crap strategy games, only the new one is cool. The giant command spots are awesome and can move. No. I like being dug in, I like raising huge map spanning armies from my stationary base, and I like having a FULL tech tree and not just a third of it. Air, tank, and infantry units all from one base)
Plants vs. Zombies (It's a casual game. It's easy. You try making it to the final level without a challenge)
Playing on the PS3
Transformers (this does not include the two new movies, and if you come after me, I will send a partially constructed soundwave to find you. Those lego robots (programmable ones, NXT) are pretty fun...and can make a few soundwave noises)
Legos
N+ (the platformer with the ninja)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (It's a good movie. Leave me alone!)
Avatar (same as above)
I'm going to stop here because the list is making me sad...

Something like that.

I get made fun of a lot for liking PC gaming better than console gaming. It's weird I know but my school is full of console tards so thats why.
I get insulted for liking Lamb of God because they are aparently 'talentless instument violators' and also for liking graphic novels, which one of my friends constantly calls 'comics' as he just cant see how words accompanied by pictures can be anything adult.
Avatar.
I've been waiting to say this for a while now...
People can say "It's not original" all they want, but the movie was well put together and well executed. Most movies today are predictable or take a previously done plot and renew it. If you take a recycled plot and do it well, the movie will be good.
As a matter of fact, every movie I've seen this year in theatures I've known what was going to happen. Did that stop me from enjoying the movies? Absolutely not.
I've seen more movies than most people will ever see in their life and I'm only 20. Avatar was groundbreaking to me. The visuals, the way the story was told, the message behind the story. A simple story, yet wnderfully and beautifully told.
If the simplicity of the story makes you hate a movie, then you probably don't like most movie. Most movies today are predictable, but does that stop them from being fun? Hell no.
Oh and... if a movie were really THAT bad, could it have made 3+billion dollars? I think not.
