Disco----it wasn't a style of music; it was a social disease. And funk and soul are not the same as disco. The definition of disco is funk and soul music with the funk and soul removed.
I agree with people who are famous for being famous. Self-important twits.

Reality TV / game shows, with the exception of Jeopardy, of course. I can't for the life of me understand the appeal or the cultural value of "The Price is Right".

Just about everything that has already been listed here. I'm just glad I grew up when I did.
My pop culture dealbreaker: an interest in pop culture. Does that count?
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
I've been watching the Battle of the Decades on Jeopardy. Usually I can hang in there with a lot of the questions but man, they cranked up the difficulty level for the semi-finals. When you see Ken Jennings bewildered you know it's getting tough (though it hasn't stomped Jennings from powering through to the finals).
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
Seth MacFarlane humor, creations
Family Guy, South Park, etc.
The Big Bang & other sitcoms--not funny to me
I just thought of another one:
When someone says they don't like black-and-white movies.

The obsession with no-talent reality show "stars" is very disturbing. I can handle watching Dancing with the Stars with my wife because hey, it's a dream show for a leg man but neither of us can stomach anything else in the reality genre other than travel shows.
No one can get me running faster from a conversation than someone who is obsessed with conspiracy theories whether it's JFK, UFOs, Shakespeare didn't write his own plays, 9/11, etc.

I'm afraid I may be one of those scary ones
Seriously, you're correct - the world of music did not start and end with The Beatles, but the landscape of the popular music world (and in some cases the world in general) was drastically changed nearly every time they released a new album. It's hard to imagine a single band having that effect now, but The Beatles influenced not only the music industry and how things were done, but also the worlds of art, fashion, and popular culture. I like to refer to this article from time to time for some perspective on just how revolutionary the Beatles and their accomplishments were.

Shows like "Buying Alaska" which glorify snobby rich people. Who cares if it doesn't have 5 bathrooms and 6 garages, it's better than what most people can afford!!

I am a HUGE Beatles fan. I have been for nearly 50 years. I have everything they released and hundreds of unreleased recordings. I consider them the greatest and most influential band ever. In all my years, I have yet to meet ANYONE who thinks the music world began and ended with them. In fact, the only time I hear such phrases is from people accusing Beatles fans of thinking that way.
