I've noticed that people pretend to like things that they find annoying. I guess they're trying to be ironic? I think that's where much of the success for shitty things comes from, like Jersey Shores, crappy music, and bad internet memes. (I've lost friends to Jersey Shores, that's why I singled it out. It's close to my heart, sigh.)
It's starts off a joke. "Hey let's listen to that Waka Flaka song, it's so dumb!" No harm, right? Then it turns into, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if I bought the box set of Jersey Shore and started fist pumping like a guido?--Haha, totally dude!" It's a sneaky spiral that people constantly fall for.
People are becoming what they hate.
But it doesn't have to happen. When you don't like something, just don't listen to/watch/read it. There's no point in subjecting yourself to something terrible just because you can make fun of it. It's a fact that the more you subject yourself to something annoying, the more your brain enjoys it. Even starts to crave it. Remember those Head-On commercials? That is something you will never forget in your entire life.
Not only does indulging in terrible things degrade your soul, it also makes producers want to make more terrible things. The advertisers don't care why you watch/listen, the fact is that when you do, you're giving them money and telling them that what they're doing is ok. It's not.
