Metal is the only music genre that actually sucks no matter the song
 
Country music perfectly fits that description for me.

for most of it yes. also a lot of hiphop/rnb cause they for me have the same annoying beats. i get you wanna get social injustice out but your tunes aint making it. same with like all pop music, it's either rnb beats or people trying to be artsy in a bad way.
 
I think that football is insanely overrated and the most boring sport to watch.
I don't get the hype around the worldcup. The people where going crazy here
in France when they won. I was half dying from all that people, lol.

My problem with modern pop is well... I'll start with saying that I've been overexposed to it a lot since I returned to work, since they decided that is purely what they play on the radio now. *rolls eyes* But anyway, my problem with it is the autotuned voices/effects and the instrumental breaks which all sound like that godawful dubstep "noise".

Sorry if anyone likes dubstep. That is fine, but I have never heard a single dubstep song that did not devolve into what I call "noise". I'm sorry I call it that, I know it's a strong term, but that's the only word I have to describe it. And every single flipping godawful pop song they play on the radio at my work does that, now, too. As if the autotuned voices weren't bad enough.

I suppose that does count as on-topic as an unpopular opinion. I know it's cool to hate on modern pop, but my reasons are different from others I think.
 
I hate Starbucks.
Not necessarily the quality of their coffee, which I've tried once or twice in my entire life and forgotten about, but the company itself. Here in the state of Washington, you'll find a Starbucks on what seems like nearly every corner. It's even worse than McDonald's.
And if you want to overpay for a cup of coffee, why not just go to an artisan shop?

They have been in the news a lot recently. One time with a barista getting caught including bodily fluids in a beverage.

This isn't unpopular at all as we all know how horrible this sport is!
I wass in France too during the world cupand felt like this only person who felt baffled by all of this... it was horrible.
I don't like sports much but football, or soccer in this case, definitely is the worst of them all.
 
Just when I think I'm the only one who thinks or feels a certain way, I find out I'm not.

Maybe an unpopular opinion (or not), but I don't like how Pokemon Sword and Shield Pokemon designs look. They all look like what I'd expect beta Pokemon to look like. To me, most of the new Pokemon look uninteresting or hastily made and hastily approved/lazily made. The concept of giant pokemon doesn't interest me, so in short, this may be the first pokemon game I skip besides pokemon let's go eevee and pikachu.

Speaking of pokemon LGP&E, I couldn't support a game that locked mew behind a 50-70 dollar paywall. nope. Besides that, I've seen plays of it being way too easy for my tastes.

This maybe an unpopular opiniom too, but I don't like paid dlc or forced amiibo unlocks aka dlc 1.2.

I know it's an unpopular opinion because every time I bring up the subject, I'm accused of being a troll. I don't hate Nintendo, but there's ssome things I can't support, sorry. I don't mind amiibo as figurines, but I hate when it's forced onto the player to unlock stuff, in metriods case hard mode. :(

I have a lot more possibly unpopular opinions,

I don't like the pokemon anime, not even the original. Ok I liked a lot of aspects of the original, but I can not stand team rocket. They irk me so bad whenever I see them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....again. they were unfunny from the beginning and never really amounted to anything other than pointless plot filler. ughhhh. I cannot watch the originals or any of them. Pokemon got cheesier as it...er...progressed? Reason I dnt like the movies either And Ash losing more than once made me lose interest. I'm not watching a show to see a protagonist that loses 97% of final battles.

I prefer the manga way more heck even pokemon generations, despite gary being an unlikable coward in it rather than a likable semi jerk. I wish the manga had an anime. xc I'll never see it happen tho. :(


I don't really like winter

I like summer late spring and halloween

I agree that $50 for one Pok?mon is excessive (heck, even $5 for a shiny Mew that always has 6 perfect IVs is too much), but if you’re only going to spend it just for Mew, you’re missing the point. The Mew is only a secondary bonus. The purpose of the Pok? Ball Plus is to experience what it’s like to catch Pok?mon in real life. It functions like an actual controller, and when you catch Pok?mon, it feels line you’re throwing an actual Pok? Ball. Even still, $50 is too much for that. It should be like $30.

But if there’s any reason to skip the game, it would have to be that it’s another Kanto remake, and it has Pok?mon Go mechanics. I actually like the game, but I understand why people weren’t happy with it. We don’t need another Kanto remake, and to replace a mainstay Pok?mon mechanic with Pok?mon Go mechanics is heresy itself. Add to that, it may be another Kanto remake, but they took out the gambling games and replaced it with arcade games you can’t even play (which makes the Game Corner obsolete), they added gym requirements, and you have no bike riding. It’s not really a Kanto remake if not all of the Kanto features are there. And if you want all modern mechanics, they don’t have Pok?mon breeding, Day and Night, weather moves, or abilities. Taking all that out is a huge step back. You’ll be missing a lot if you skipped Pok?mon Sun and Moon (or Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon), but you won’t be missing anything if you skipped Pok?mon Let’s Go. The only thing it did right is that we could go back to Kanto with the modern mechanics (including unlimited TMs).

It’s not an unpopular opinion to say that Sword and Shield is gonna suck. But it is an unpopular opinion to not like the new legendary Pok?mon because of their designs. But I do have to agree with you on this. In fact, the box cover legendary Pok?mon designs started sucking since Black and White. They’re making it too much like the titles than something creative. Sword and Shield really did a bad job on this. But it’s not just legendary Pok?mon that don’t look as good as they used to. Mythical Pok?mon too. In my opinion, Magearna and Diancie are the worst mythicals, while Mew and Celebi are the best.

Well, that throwing Pok?ball thing is as stupid as paying for just a Mew to be honest... Like they could have made this game for the original Wii.

And yeah swoshi is just lazy made just so they need $$$ off kids. I don't have a Switch and even if I would have I doubt I would get that.

Wow, so Pok?mon LGE & P where, even worse than what I was imagining. o-o

I'm not even sweating it for skipping it.

Yes, Sun and Moon where awesome! I'm just fearing the Let's Go type cash grab is going ti infest the main series too (the good ones). >_<

Oh well if it does I'll just have to drop them too. :(

I'm also all Khanto'd out. I'm personally tired of most movies or games that keep milking the past until you lose whatever nostalgic value you had for it. I don't mind remakes once in a blue moon, unless it keeps on the same theme: Khanto, Khanto, Khanto, Khanto... - _ -

I'd like a fun game that included more than one region like Gold & Silver HGSS did over remakes. :(

I pretty much agree with you on 100% of everything, except I think the main legendaries' design started lacking around DPP, maybe even ruby and sapphire, though I loved those games to death and I love Kyogre.

The one company that really needs to learn that lesson is Disney. It?s not just the live action remakes of their animated films. They ruined Star Wars in this manner too. The Force Awakens, it?s clearly a remake of A New Hope. Most of the events (like when Rey was offered 50 portions if she turns in BB-8) is exactly like the events in A New Hope (like when the stormtroopers stopped Luke and Obi-wan for R2-D2). Worse yet, it was part of the Star Wars Canon. And don?t get me started on the political correctness used in the Star Wars sequels and Disney?s live action remakes. Communism is better than that.
