I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

    yes, it does. to say something is overrated is to acknowledge that the consensus is x and that you don't believe that it should be because you think that the majority of people have misjudged the thing in question as being better than it is. in other words, that you don't like it as much as most people.

    just because you don't like the word "overrated' doesn't mean you can just define it out of existence lol

        in what context would you find it applicable to call something "overrated" if you don't believe that word is applicable when you're saying that you think a thing that is broadly considered to be good is actually bad? because I genuinely cannot conceive of another context in which the word "overrated' could be accurately used. from my perspective you sound like you've invented a completely incomprehensible topic to argue about because you think the word "overrated" sucks and it makes you feel superior to people who use it. it would be like if i suddenly decided that your use of the word "negative" is invalid, actually the only valid use of the word "negative" is the photography related noun, the word you mean to use is "bad"

                Wait so I wrote out a long, thorough, serious comment laying out in good faith everything I understood about the conversation, our inability to understand each other, and what I was trying to get across in the first place and then went to bed. And then you come buy and go "I'm not reading all that, touch grass smuglord" and apparently I'm the one who gets my comment removed for "bad faith" lmao

                god the mods on this site fucking suck dude
