Popular fads you wish would die out

[IamRAMBO24]

1. Facebook

Facebook is just stupid, and not because it is a total invasion of your privacy, but just the idea of it is stupid. I understand there are social losers who need it to find some sort of consolation in their lonely lives, but I see it as a total cop out to real life social interactions. Think about it, if you want to make some friends, then why not join the real world and meet real people? If you are fat, lonely, socially inept with crusty finger nails and rotten teeth, then why not take the time out to work on yourself and your social skills? And who the hell cares about connecting with old friends you no longer want any part of? They're no longer your friends for a reason (if they were truely your close homies, then you would still be in touch). Also, why would you want to get some a*s on facebook? How about going to your local bar or club? Surely, you're gonna get the real deal instead of jerking to some lame webcam porn. I hate facebook and everything it represents.

2. Xbox One

I know it's not a fad yet, but when it does come out, it'll be the next big thing. I'm hoping the PS4 would just kill it. We don't need to lose anymore of our privacies than we already have; I just don't like the idea of jerking off in the privacy of my room without some Microsoft nerd watching me with a throbbing dong at the other end.

3. Justin Bieber

This sounds pretty insignificant, but his popularity is incredibly disturbing. It goes to show that kids of this generation are no longer real men but secret lesbians trying to act black. I'm not trying to be racist, but feminine little boys shouldn't try to be ghetto; it screams of fakeness. We have a couple thousands of years to act like real men, and all it's going to take is 30 years to abandon our genetic disposition and act like a bunch of girls. Please. I grew up watching real men take care of real sh*t: they worked hard and provided for their families; now we have a bunch of girly men more concerned about looking pretty than doing what really matters.

Anyways, what fads do you guys wish would die out? I could go on but I'll stop for now.

PS4 is already taking a giant dump on Xbox One, and neither of them are out yet.

Myself, and many people I know are Xbox 360 players, but the majority of us are switching to Sony for this next-gen era.

This. I'm not a fan of him but Bieber haters are just as worse as those who like him.

Not really. It's your choice, don't want your privacy invaded? Don't sign up. Simple fix.

but just the idea of it is stupid. I understand there are social losers who need it to find some sort of consolation in their lonely lives, but I see it as a total cop out to real life social interactions.

Why would a social loser want to use facebook? It's social media. I actually deleted my facebook to become a "social loser" because all facebook does is connect you with everybody you know, friends of friends etc. and so on. People use it on there phones, at work, tablets, school etc. so quit acting like every facebook user is some fat lonely guy in his mothers basement. In my experience the biggest facebook users are popular girls that feel like they need to update everybody constantly and take 100 pics

I do agree it's kinda a cop out to alot too real life stuff but it also leads to alot of real life social interactions, up to you what you do with it.

Think about it, if you want to make some friends, then why not join the real world and meet real people? If you are fat, lonely, socially inept with crusty finger nails and rotten teeth, then why not take the time out to work on yourself and your social skills? And who the hell cares about connecting with old friends you no longer want any part of? They're no longer your friends for a reason (if they were truely your close homies, then you would still be in touch).

Facebook is generally used to connect with lots of people whom are already your friends or who you know, your acting like it connects random people or something. It has nothing to do with social skills. All facebook does is connect everybody.

Yeah you might have no interest in that, others do tho. I have tons of old buddies who I don't chill with because we went in different directions/live elsewhere etc. I don't really care what happens in alot of there lives but comes in handy if there back from school or something and it's not a close friend but somebody I wouldn't mind hitting up a bar with and catching up.

Also, why would you want to get some a*s on facebook? How about going to your local bar or club? Surely, you're gonna get the real deal instead of jerking to some lame webcam porn. I hate facebook and everything it represents

My favorite part of facebook. Log in to facebook. See random girl you met a few times/are friends with/friend of a friend etc. See what she looks like, see if she's some drama filled girl or whatever. Chat with her and be like "whats up tonight, we should do something" or whatever and than bam you've set yourself up. Facebook leads to bars and clubs and parties. Just makes you extremely informed, saves time among many other things.

Hating facebook is stupid. It really is an amazing social tool. You can find bitches, parties, what everybody is doing that night, among many other things. Best part? Second you don't like it or find it annoying you delete your accounts. Tis what I did

Exactly. Bieber is a millionairre playboy doing his thing who at the age of 19 has probably f*cked more dimes than all of ISH combined. Yes his music is shit but I can't blame him, he doesnt write it himself, if someone offered me the chance to sing those shitty songs and become a global icon and millionairre I'd do the same thing and I think most of us would.

As for his clothes-he doesnt dress himself retards, he has a marketing team behind everything. I'd dress in the retarded clothes he does too if it meant getting millions.

People who hate on Bieber just come across as jealous insecure nerds.

As for facebook, its a useful form of contact, more convenient then emails because of the chat function+nearly everyone connected to it, but I agree its getting annoying all the social whores on there.

As for xbox vs playstation who gives a shit, Im sure both are going to make Microsoft and Sony millions of dollars.

The whole x-box vs playstation debate is just a marketing gimmick Im sure both companies are in on to make sure more people buy their stupid consoles as idiots feel a need to prove their loyalty to one brand or the other. Its not different from East vs West in 90s hiphop-a marketing gimmick used to drive up sales.

I think facebook has settled into a nice non annoying niche. People post things more relevant now, the updates everytime the baby sneezes aren't as common. The parents at school use it to post when things happen.

I don't know if this is a fad but the whole hip hop culture annoys me(Swag, trying to look like rappers, talking street)

[mlh1981]

Many elements of facebook seem useless to me these days, but all my family lives far away, so it's nice to keep tabs on what everyone is up to, plus let them know what I'm doing.

What do swag and "talking street" have to do with hip-hop?

Facebook is the new way of initiating and maintaining real world social contact. Im sure at one time old people had similar complaints about the phone. And you mock it but private messages work. Eg. These god damned kids calling each other all damn night. And a lot of times you fall out of touch with old friends due to circumstances rather than purely by choice.

Overall I agree, but you are naive if you think you are some how safe from spying if you dont use xbox one.

Feminine little boys have appealed to little girls for a long time. Besides one 24 year old girl I know, I dont think Bieber has any fans that arent teen or tween girls. It just so happens that demographic is arguably the most profitable demographic of fans to have. They are stupid and wont set limits on their spending, and they can often get their fathers to shell out cash.

Usher wasnt a fool he saw immediately the appeal of Bieber.

Your complaint is also laughable, there arent any grown men that are trying to emulate bieber and most of the girls that are going crazy for him will grow out of it.
