Unpopular Opinions Thread

Hey! So I have never seen one of these threads posted (correct me if I’m wrong) so this will be a place where individuals can just talk about unpopular interests/hobbies that others don’t relate to. I’ll start off; I absolutely adore instrumental music (classical, video-game soundtracks, alternative rock genres, etc). I find myself going through withdrawal if I don’t listen to instrumental for a couple of days. I’m a huge fan of Chopin- pretty much know all of his nocturnes and cannot stop listening to post-rock like Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai :stuck_out_tongue:

Explosions in the Sky is so neat :DDD
On the topic of post rock, ever heard of Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Sleep has gotta be my favorite thing from them.

A weird (not exactly instrumental, but very atypical) thing you might like is Infected Mushroom. I recommend Heavyweight m’self!

And I can’t make a list of music without Joanna Newsom; she’s prolly the best harpist I’ve ever heard, and her singing is super cool. :>
IMO Divers (the song, not the album), Sapokanikan, and Leaving the City are some of the best from her.

Hey guys! I love Social Studies. Social Studies is a branch I love. History, government, psychology, I love it.

I also really love eating salad and vegetables. I love to write stories. I’m not a giant fan, but I do like hearing the music of One Direction. (Sorry if that offends anyone.) I love country, pop, and orchestral music. (Although, pop is pretty popular.) I’m extremely politically liberal (Sorry if that offends anyone.) to the point where it may be too much… If I had to serve in the army, I would refuse to touch a gun and would enlist as a medic.

Those are some of the things I can think of on top of my head.

Have a good day!

Ooh my brother likes classical music too! He tends to play it without headphones all the time and its not that bad.

As far as my own unpopular opinions:
Physics and math are easy
Chocolate is overrated
Pineapple on pizza is a good thing
Olives are delicious

Idk most of these are just controversial lol

Justin Bieber is not attractive, and neither is old Leonardo Dicaprio.

@OMPursuit definitely will listen to your suggestions haha I actually accidentally came upon post-rock from listening to the xx on Pandora so I’m still quite new to it :^)

Adding to the list:
I absolutely hate receiving and sending texts. It annoys me so much I’d rather someone call me instead.
I think ketchup is the best condiment ever. I use maybe 10+ packets for every burger/fries meal I get. :smiley:
I can’t stand shopping for more than a few hours. Idk it makes me dizzy LOL
I think long showers are over-rated. It takes me 5 tops. B-)

English and History are the best subjects by far
I have absolutely no interest in STEM majors
If it were up to me, admissions to college would be purely academic
The reading sections of standardized tests are fun
I don’t want to go to a super competitive college, it would be too much pressure
Ketchup on rice is delicious
Gum is the worst thing ever and if you chew it with your mouth open you’re dead to me

@leopardfire yesss I love those especially paragraph comparison sections

What would Abraham Lincoln say about ___, you ask?

‘why yes Mr. President I’ll make sure to pass that along’

it’s just like watching ERBoH

I hate melted cheese, except on pizza. Salad dressing is gross to me too, I prefer just the vegetables and other stuff.

If you’re looking for new genres of music, may I suggest electroswing or jazzhop? Basically electronic 20s swing and jazz, really upbeat and fun, especially good party music. And jazzhop is cool piano riffs with some bass and vocals/rap over it. It’s the perfect study music.

I’ve been getting into a lot more instrumental stuff this year too. Anyone else listen to tomppabeats?

Spinach is some good stuff right there

English class should be taught differently or not at all

The best music is screamo and math rock playing at the same time (that’s my sending music-If Nothing Breaks, Nothing Moves by Arcane Roots and then literally anything by She the Killer)

Not all liberals are idiots

Not all conservatives are idiots

The thicker the yogurt, the better

I’m super liberal.
I love vegetables.

FDR was one of the worst presidents

Bacon is awful

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable.
I love, love, love reading.
Learning is so much fun–it’s just that I suck at understanding and applying most of it.
I love baroque pop, synthpop, indie folk, alternative, and other similar genres of music.
Dark chocolate is delicious.
I’ve always wanted to wear bad pun shirts.

I love climbing trees
I think the internet has done a lot of harm to society
I’m an obsessively healthy eater (organic…)
I’m very religious and extremely liberal
I’m semi vegetarian
I love reading

i think arts & humanities are just as important, if not more so, as science & tech, for humanity
(i wrote about puns in my uc essay & almost used the pun “not every applicant “UC” is as in love with puns as me” but refrained yikes oops)
i think there’s still good in the world no matter how terrible things appear to get
asian women are not submissive and cute and there for people to stereotype as small and meek
grated parmesan, eaten by itself, is one of the world’s greatest joys and i’ll probably talk about my love for cheese in my common app essay oooop

YAS cheese is amazing.
Playing music = not my thing
3 musketeers and milky ways = disgusting
Math is annoying, and geometry proofs are very very very unhelpful
Harvard is not the best college
Bacon is horrible, SALT is horrible (if used in excessive amounts), and Green Machine Naked smoothies are yum

@IAmNotCreativ @greenteen17 Same here!

Have a good day!

I hate football

@AnxiousHam Me too. It’s ridiculous, in my opinion.

Bacon is not good and Pumpkin Spice Lattés are overrated af.
