Underrated and Overrated Products and Brands

[Elliot]

Underrated: Samsung
Overrated: Apple

I dislike it when people say the above the other way around. Everyone but myself in my family has an iphone, and almost everyone I see in my normal day has one too. Samsung is not nearly as popular (or at least in my area) so how is it overrated?

I love samsung more than apple, but i wouldn't say it's underrated.

All the shooter games are overrated. Battlefield, CoD, Halo, Gears of War, etc.

Underrated...hmmm.... Good tv channels like national geographic and discovery.

 

[Psydye]

Underrated: Theresia, a psychological horror/dungeon crawler game for the DS, micro brews/craft brews/certain imports(..Dogfish Head, Stone, Rogue, Harpoon, Magic Hat, Samuel Smith's, BBC[Berkshire Brewing Company, not the media station!], etc.), a good amount of metal bands outside of the nu metal/metalcore spectrum(a.k.a. power, thrash, death, black, doom, sludge, gothic, etc.)

Overrated: Anything by Michael Bay, domestic beers(i.e. Budweiser, Coors, PBR, etc.), most pop music LOL(i.e. Lady Gaga, 1D, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, etc., the works!)

...sorry to anyone who likes those, that's just my opinion on the matter. >w<

 

[pepperini]

Overrated: Abercromie & Fitch, Hollister, etc...(you can find better clothes in a store that doesn't look or feel like a maze yo), NGE, Ancient Aliens (even though I do like the series...P: ), T-shirts with internet memes on them (TACKY, old, and not attractive)
Underrated: Older movies, classical music, and some of the clothes at walmart aren't bad yet people will judge the hell out of you for getting a couple of t-shirts there. But perhaps I'm just cheap.

If I'm looking for sweatpants or t-shirts for around the house, I'll always go to Walmart first because they're cheap. But I would never buy any "cute" clothes from Walmart.

Of course you're not gonna get any nice/dressy clothes from walmart but as far as buying a couple of cheap graphic tees, why not. P:

I know. The sad thing is... I know people who do.

Pffft forget Wallyworld, I'll even go far as to get clothes from a thrift store...at least pants, jeans, generic shirts, and coats. For my psychedelic tees and band shirts though I usually have to go on-line...

Overrated: Nickelback. Soccer mom music UCH!!!

 

[SecondSider]

Underrated: Any movie available on the Criterion Collection (except for the Michael Bay titles).

Overrated: Any movie the average teenager is interested in (ie. Fast and the Furious, Scary Movie, Twilight).

I know people might like these, but I just can't stand it when these teens tend to shove these movies down our throats as the "best movies ever".

I agree with this! All those movies listed are mediocre at best.

 

[Toffee]

Overrated: Books such as twilight and divergent (don't get me wrong, I like divergent and twilight is ok but they're getting so overrated), garnier shampoos, eos lipbalms, league of legends, sword art online/naruto/free!, contact lenses & false lashes, snsd, pixar movies

Underrated: epik high and most nujabes-like artists, arabic foods, mabinogi, raisin bran, once upon a time (the show), ponyo

 

[Coexist]

Overrated:
Mainstream music - I don't want to sound like a hipster but mainstream music is the bane of ACTUAL music and creativity.
Beats By Dr. Dre - Overpriced headphones that aren't good compared to most established headphone companies such as AudioTechnica, Bose, Sennheiser, etc, etc.
Call of Duty Games - All the games they make are basically the same thing just with different actual weapons, setting, and so on. No new gameplay innovation and people still keep buying it like it's the best shooter out there, UGH. :K

Underrated:
Classical music instruments - You know like cello's, violins, trumpets, all that stuff, there are very few people who would go see an orchestra in today's society.
-Insert a bunch of musical artists that aren't getting the fame and/or recognition they deserve- (Rhye, Toro Y Moi, Andrew Belle, City and Colour, Daughter, London Grammar, and so many more)

I badly wanted to put 1D/Justin Bieber! Thank you for someone agreeing xD
I don't really have anything against them, some of their music is ok, but I get annoyed when I walk into Claire's (the accessories shop) and just see a whole wall of 1D EVERYTHING. I mean, can't you at least just build another shop for 1D stuff so we can have our nail polish back?!
Also, will.i.am. He is so popular now he can sing all sorts of rubbish and still earn millions! (Sorry to all will.i.am fans out there, I have nothing against him!)

 

[SecondSider]

Overrated: Twilight, my thoughts on the film can be summed up by Julianne Moore's quote from Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Underrated: Classic, entertaining vampire films (e.g. Nosferatu, which I watched at Lauren Bacall's recommendation).

 

[EpicGamer12]

Really? Music? o: Some of it is definitely overrated but not all of it... But you're entitled to your opinions. I agree with you about farmers markets being underrated. I haven't gone to a regular grocery store in so long because even though they do sell fruits and vegetables, everything just isn't quite as fresh.

As for something that's overrated for me... Hmm, there's lots... Just a few: Hersheys (That chocolate isn't worth putting in my mouth), most insanely popular artists (Autotune. 'Nuff said), and Apple products. (I do own apple products, but I get so annoyed by people who think they're "all that" just because they own an Apple device.)

Hershey's has really gone downhill through the years, though. It used to be a lot better.
