Name somethings that are overrated, or that you just don't like as much as everyone else seems to. It can relate to anything. I'll start:

Led Zeppelin
chocolate ice cream
the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode of "I Accuse My Parents"
football
the beach

Simeon. Oh, oops, overated, not overused.

Colin Michael · « **Reply #8 on:** February 24, 2009, 02:31:49 PM »

U2, Coldplay, girlfriends, American cars/beer, J.K. Rowling, football, Abraham Lincoln, King David, Aristotle, and many more.

Things that are under-ratted:
John Wilkes Booth, the Kinks, King Saul, and many more.

While I agree that people wrongly deify Lincoln, I'm curious as to what aspects of Mr. Booth you feel are underappreciated. I'm no expert on either Lincoln or Booth, but after reading Sarah Vowell's "Assassination Vacation" I find it tough to sympathize with Booth.

I agree with a shocking amount of items in your list though.

I believe that a lot of things are overrated. This is just to name a few for now...

Duke and UK college basketball programs
Drugs and Alcohol
America (this is a sad self-realization: however, I do very much love my country.)
Credit Cards
relativism
the words of secular music
cheese
chocolate in general
cake
faddish *EDIT* quotes
Hollywood "looks"
Fast Food
going to the Movies as a first date
*EDIT* the soul seeker

That is funny, I was about to put my own name too....but I felt my list was getting too long. (Plus, I get paranoid to put my real name at times....especially after the "Facebook owns you" scare going around.)

Duke Basketball
UNC Basketball
Kurt Warner
Yankees
Change

I'm surprised to see "cell phones" on two people's lists. Having a cell phone has been nearly invaluable to me at times. Would you guys like to elaborate?

There are a lot of others here that I agree with, although some I'm unsure what meaning is intended (change, faddish cliches, breakfast pizza). Also, way to be meta, Scott.

People use cell phones as a crutch. There is absolutely no need to have text messaging, a camera, and any other random thing that you can get for your phone. I went through my entire high school career without a cell phone and all of a sudden it is a necessity? That's a bunch of garbage.

Change, people think change will solve everything. They are wrong.

John Cena, and other 8 move wrestlers...seriously overrated....

Agreed. People are basicly glued to their phones these days. Mine is rarely even on due to neglecting to charge the thing. We should have their name changed to "Mobile messaging devices", since people hardly use them to physically talk anymore it seems.
