Don’t we all hate something because it is so popular? Many like it and it boggles our minds!
The mere mention of something popular can drive us into a frenzy.
Do we suffer from Individualitis?
According to Urban Dictionary : “A serious condition involving a change of outlook on the victim, making them view popular, trendy or highly public things as bad, uninteresting or unbearable. They’re often found making baseless assumptions or excuses to accusations of individualitis.This is commonly found in hipsters and some victims who “hate” pop music.”
Don’t most of us have some deep seated hatred of pop music that is popular but we feel is so uncreative and unoriginal and is used to just simply sell products.
Hipster: “God I hate Lady Gaga so much, her music pisses me off.”
Friend: “Why?”
Hipster: “She’s so weird and popular, I just hate it”
Friend: “I think you have individualitis.”
Couldn’t be just a hatred of following something deemed cool in contemporary culture.
Seems like Individualitis gets a bad wrap.
