anti-status quo

I hate people who feel like they have to be against the status quo. It's like, can't people make their own decisions anymore? For example, Twilight. I'm not saying Twilight is the best series of books in the universe, and although I've read the books and seen the movies, they aren't really my favorite. But is it necessary to hate them and make fun of them like you have nothing else better to do? If you didn't read the books then you can't hate them, or think they're stupid, or anything like that because YOU DIDN'T READ THEM. So stop saying "ew" when you hear the word Twilight, or refusing to read/watch anything vampire related, or making fun of Kristen Stewart because you don't know what you're talking about. And I'm not saying you have to like Twilight, or even read the books. But stop hating them just because a million people happen to like them, or because you think its somehow "cool" to not like them. Because that's stupid.

And it doesn't just go for Twilight. What about Justin Bieber? Now, I don't personally like Justin Bieber's songs, but give the kid a break for once. He didn't do anything to anyone. He's not like Miley Cyrus, who can't even sing, and smokes who knows what when she's supposed to be a role model for 10 year olds. I'm not saying I don't make fun of him occasionally, but why do people hate this kid so much?

I guess it just annoys me when people are so immature that they just don't like things because they're popular (especially when these things are popular with teenage girls). Just make your own opinions about things. Don't not watch the movie because Zac Efron is in it, or refuse to read a book because it stars vampires, and vampires are in Twilight. If you don't like vampires as a subject matter, that's fine, but I hope you've at least attempted to read a book about vampires before you make your judgments.

And stop saying hating Abercrombie & Fitch. Unless you have a specific reason for hating it. If you hate the clothes, fine. But don't hate it just because it's "cool."

So that is my conclusion. Stop trying to be anti-status quo because it's stupid and immature.
