‘Everything getting a live action remake. It’s stale as hell now.’

‘As soon as I finished reading the question, I knew my answer – Lotus Biscoff. It’s now freaking everywhere, and in everything! And that’s sad. Initially, Biscoff was like crack to me… I was fascinated by the spice-laden sweet biscuits, and the cookie butter.
But as soon as it went viral, every Tom, Dick and Harry started making everything out of it… cheesecakes, cupcakes, pastries, tiramisus, french toasts and what not. And now it’s also locally manufactured, which tastes different from the OG. I’m soooo over it. I wish I could taste Lotus Biscoff for the first time, once again, when it was relatively unknown.’

‘Formula 1. It’s great that there are so many new fans, but going to a race is now unreasonable for most of us. It’s always been a sport for the wealthy. At least in the past the fans didn’t have to be. I miss going with my dad and my brothers.’

‘Fully prepared for the downvotes, but Star Wars. I love so much of what they’ve done over the years, but the fanbase is just utterly intolerable.’

‘Mt. Everest. John Oliver did a piece about how it’s become a giant trash pile since it went viral on Instagram as being a popular selfie spot.’

‘Marvel, DND, all the fun nerdy stuff I was bullied for enjoying as a kid is being commoditized, watered down, and packaged for sale. Kinda blows.’

‘Therapy words. No someone saying no to you isn’t then crossing a boundary, no you aren’t being triggered by someone cutting down a tree. I get that some words make it into the common vernacular but you don’t have ADHD because you look at your phone and watch TV at the same time. And you certainly aren’t OCD because you do the dishes before bed.’

‘Streaming services. It was nice when every show you could ever want was available on like, two services. Now each show is on its own streaming service and you have to debate if it’s worth getting another subscription just for one show, or if you should just miss out on the thing everyone is talking about.’

‘Holidaying and retiring to Spain. So many people bought second homes at low prices, pushing up the prices and driving locals out of the market. Then there’s the badly behaved tourists who cause mayhem wherever they go and caused a huge anti tourist sentiment.’

‘Beanie Babies. They were cheap little throw-away $5 stuffed animals that you bought for your daughter at Target instead of the more expensive teddy bears and the like. Then they became collectible, then became scarce, then prices shot up, then they became ‘investments’, then everyone associated with them became insane.’
