It's funny how you find some irrelevant trends overrated and mind-blowing ones underrated. You keep hearing of a particular trend or thing being overrated only to take a closer look and discover it's overrated and stupid to a fault.
This week, we want you to tell us 3 things you feel are so overrated on today’s world.
There are so many things and trends I find overrated
The first on my list is worshiping celebrities or simply put idolizing celebrities.
Who made it a rule that I must have a particular celebrity that I love or I must have a particular celebrity that I am a die-hard fan of?
Loving these celebrities is one thing but worshiping them and seeing them as demi-gods is another thing! And you know what is worse? Tagging people who are not crazy about celebrities as boring is crap.
Reverencing these people and seeing them as perfection is what causes most of these celebrities to go crazy as some of them try so hard to please their fans and to maintain the status quo. People have failed to understand that these celebrities are first humans before they are celebrities. People worship the ground they walk on and do so many crazy things all in the name of being "die-hard fans". Don't get it twisted, I love some celebrities and I also draw inspiration from some of them but the one thing I wouldn't do is go bonkers for them.
What pisses me off the most is how people tend to make you feel if you don't have any fave(favorite), you ask me who my fave is and I say I don't have any and you look at me like I am a weirdo or old school but hey!! I am not, some of us don't give so much attention to such things and these are not a prerequisite to being a good human being or living a decent life.
Another overrated trend is having a complicated skincare routine.
Unwritten rules are formed unconsciously every day and we just don’t know when we begin to go with the flow.
Skincare routine have taken a new form as we are forced to see people with complicated skincare routines as the main people in the skincare game while people with simple skincare routines are seen as not doing anything or not doing enough and it's crazy. Why do I need to lay my face with so many products before it feels like I’m taking good care of my skin? Just because a certain person started a trend and now we all should follow suit? Having a complicated skincare routine is overrated and the risk of endangering one’s skin is high, don’t get me started with how expensive it is! Simply put there’s nothing special about having a complicated skincare routine.
Furthermore, I find social media overrated. People are so crazy about social media, people want to update us on everything happening in their lives, some want to go viral others are so lonely, and as such derive joy in trolling others on social media.
People have made it look like there’s no life outside of social media and this amazes me. I mean what were we before the invention of social media?
People now use the amount of followers, likes, and comments you have as a yardstick for measuring how cool you are, which is totally insane to me. You are not just judged by your appearance or intellect but also by your various accounts on different social media platforms.
People who are not addicted to social media are seen as boring people which still surprises me to date. Remove social media and so many people would be screwed while the non addicts will carry on with their lives like nothing ever happened.
These and many more are the things and trends I find overrated.
