White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I'll include Eminem and I don't care if he's been given the pass.

Adults saying "poop"

Am British where it's what kids call it. For adults it's poo or shit.

Diva covers of songs that don't fit the emotional tone of the song because they're too busy showing off their vocal cords.
And people who love these songs.

I can't currently think of any particular women responsible for this,
or particular songs, but I'm quite sure it must have been Christmas song covers,
turning "Jingle Bells" into Aretha Franklin's "Dr. Feelgood".
The only particular song I can come up with, is Michael Bublé's "cry me a river"
and whoever plays the instruments during his version,
so this is not just a mostly female phenomena.

[edit] I'm pretty sure it's Ariane Grande now.
Great singer but not very adaptable.
And probably missing the point of Mariah Carey's christmas song popularity,
the original one as I've just seen newer Hallmark music video
where the video theme no longer matches the song.

Pants that hang so low that all of your ass is above the waistline. Nobody can ever convince me it can be even remotely cool

The worst is Quentin Tarantino shoehorning his characters saying that in all of his movies.

People talking about their suicidal feelings on the internet. Not sure why you'd want the whole world to know you're feeling vulnerable, or what you think it can do to help. And people are so casual about saying it.

I think I know what you're talking about. I do believe there's a time and place for anything, but just trauma dumping your life's woes somewhere like on a YouTube comment section, is probably not one of those places.

If you feel like there's nobody to talk to about it - write a blog or a journal entry. Dump your feelings and experiences there, then share them whenever someone asks you what's wrong. There are places and sites that are open for one to talk about these sensitive subjects to.

But there's just no reason to randomly do it on like YouTube comment sections for example. I see it nearly all of the time.
