The Unpopular Opinions thread

[Envy]

As someone who has quite a few years of experience in retail, I can not understand this notion that Christmas music is the bane of our existence. Is there annoying Christmas music? Yes. However, more importantly, is the ratio of annoying Christmas music much - if any - higher than the ratio of annoying music played during the rest of the year? I wouldn't say so.

Honestly, the Christmas music is the least of my concern because it is only played for a short amount of time, and thus has less time to be annoying. The music that they play the rest of the year is played for the vast majority of the year and is much more annoying. The rest of the year it's awful country music, overplayed 80s pop hits, 90s rock that is so forgettable it should just be left in the past, and today's worst hits that sound like straight-up electronic noise.

As a retail worker, I'd say that Christmas music is actually refreshing. Sure there are some really bad, annoying songs... But seriously, those bad, annoying songs are only played for a month or two, not ten whole months.

Yeah I was working retail last year and while we had like the cringe xmas music it was way better than the **** they forced us to play (like "catchy" and cringefolk stuff in swedish and quirky ballad ****) so yeah i'd rather have xmas music than the 80s-90s crap or even older cringe (yes there are some 70s music i dislike especially in swedish)

As cheesy and awful as Hallmark movies are, they serve a purpose, which is to be background noise during family get-togethers since they're appropriate for all ages

 

[AccfSally]

I love Hallmark movies, especially doing this time of year.

Yeah I kinda hate the all ages/family friendly stuff, I'd rather put on some old animated movie or just whatever other crap not as cheesy lol

 

[Corrie]

I must be the only one here who has never heard of or seen a Hallmark movie.

Basically holiday movies about romance. There are a lot of Christmas-themed ones.

Not all holiday-themed romance movies are Hallmark movies, but the Hallmark channel is full of holiday-themed romance movies.

Seafood is terrible.

Yeah, and basically all family friendly and cheesy trying to be "cozy". Ew.

They apparently aired some good shows "syndicated" but yeah their cozy mystery and holiday **** are crap lol

 

[Corrie]

Ew, those sound super awkward to watch lmao. I mean, I like cozy movies but I don't like them when it's forced or they're trying too hard. That said, I should watch one to see what it's like hahah.

Yeah idk who chooses the music which is played in most retail stores but it's usually not that great. I love 80s music but I agree that there are certain songs that are overplayed. Plus modern country is the true bane of our existence.

I went into a clothing store in a mall recently that was playing some cute indie pop/rock and honestly that's much more pleasant to listen to than what's usually played. I like hearing Christmas music too, except when it has that awful modern twang to it.

Yeah weird pop country or just club/electronic music are what they play here or just techno **** which are basically satan spawn music. Sometimes if you walk in retro/second hand store they can play like 60s-70s stuff if the owner likes it but yeah it's not that I wanna shop more while hearing repetitive pointless computer made electronica or house crap lol.

Also since I grew up in the 90s-00s with my parents playing the cheesy kind of 70s-80s music all day every time I kinda can't stand a lot either

I don't like hatterene (I'm actually averse to it and it's pre evolution). It's baby form is cute though!

When I installed Pocket Camp (short term) I had Marshal show up.

I don't see what the fuss is about.
His eyes are wonky like he's looking sideways.

I’m not too excited for a Diamond/Pearl Remake.

 

[Midoriya]

I think Dragapult is lame.

I think all Pokemon gym leaders are forgettable in gen 6-8.

Not Animal Crossing-related, but I'm getting quite annoyed at Harry Potter fans online. I was a huge fan between the age of about 11 and 15, but after that I started discovering new books, genres and, in general, other hobbies. I think it's sad that there are people out there who constantly re-read a single book series without ever reading anything new and base their entire personality around that.

I mean, this seems hypocritical of me to say this given that I'm obsessed with Miraculous Ladybug, but you're totally right. To outright dismiss other things that isn't your obsession? That's going to have you miss out on a lot of other things and be narrow minded. At least I don't ignore other things that aren't my obsession lolol.

My brother is like those Harry Potter fans but it's with anime. He legit won't watch any western cartoons because they're not from Japan.

......

Yeah. Anything English is suddenly from Satan himself and he won't touch it.

 

[Chicken Tender]

Star Wars & Harry Potter are over rated movie titles, and I don’t really think either series is as amazing as people make them out to be.
