I thought the other thread said "Popular brands you hate" and I was all set to weigh in on what I think of the craze for pricey handbags...but then it turned out it was about bands.

So, as Sebastian the Crab would say, "You want something done, you got to do it yo'self." Tell me about some popular brands you hate.

The Gap. How I hate the Gap.

Pretty much every single one of them. :)

All of the above. Especially Budweiser.

I think if the word "popular" is used, I don't like it. Especially clothing-wise.

thanks... for a moment, I thought I was seeing double. So I went to the first one and was wondering how Led Zepplin was considered a BRAND... :p


Macintosh... just for their stupid commercials.

Geico... Hate the Caveman stuff... love the gecko tho...

All the Cig brands. hate the stuff.

The Gap. How I hate the Gap.

Yeah, why are they popular? Their clothes are bland and too expensive.

Macintosh... just for their stupid commercials.

As a someone who worships John Hodgman, I cannot agree with you.

I actually like the cavemen and I'm sick and tired of the gecko. Funny!

Yeah, my boyfriend does too. First I'd heard of him...

The Areas of My Expertise, Which Include: Matters Historical, Matters literary, matters cryptozoological, hobo matters, food, drink, and cheese (A kind of food), squirrels and lobsters and eels, haircuts, utopia, what will happen in the future, and most other subjects.

Everything you need to know. From the supernatural powers of hobos and their symbols (An "H" with a bunch of lines coming from it means "It is time for the hobos to overthrow the United States federal government"), the changing time of various lycanthropes and their weaknesses, the history and politics of squirrels, how Bob Dole lost the use of his arm (He tried to control The Center, and it's power was to much for him.), and the lost state of Hohoq and it's residents, the powerful, sentient Thunderbirds.

Yeah. It's an awesome book.

Crocs........those stupid looking foam sandals.

not into Brands
all i care is if my shirt and jacket look good with my camo pants

I don't tend to care about brands either way.

Edit:
not into Brands
:cool:

:eek:

Sweet! I'll check it out. Thanks for the link. <3

BLARGH yes, they are ugly. As are Uggs.

Apple, Nintendo, Sony.

Macintosh. God I hate Macintosh.

Windows works so much better.

Abercrombie, those dumb shirts with the aligators/crocodiles on them, Motorola Razzors, Lexus, Mercedes, Porsche, essentially non-American fancy ass cars for rich people. Oh, and Apple, the commercils got really old really fast.

I could think of more but I choose not to.

Abercrombie

Gah. I don't know that much about the brand, but people who wear their stuff tend to be annoying. And I've met one of their models, and he was one of the most annoying people I've ever met. So, yeah, I'll amend my statement and say I dislike that brand.

Abercrombie and Fitch, and their faux-goth/emo counterpart, Hot Topic.

I hate both of those stores.

Porsche, essentially non-American fancy ass cars for rich, short people.

At Six feet and one inch (a bit under two meters) I cannot fold myself into the drivers seat of a Porsche. My knees do not find underneath the steering wheel.

aaaah men brother, oooh ooooh also those damn bug eye sunglasses, usually worn by girls who worship Paris Hilton, and i know this is not a brand.. but valley girls.. oooh who i loath them

Aerosmith sucks balls. nuff said.

iPod.

Apples and Microsoft, I hate them for their stupid commercials.

I hate Duracell batteries.

I also hate Apple and their idiotic commercials for everything and their insistance on grabbing a monopoly on the MP3 Player market as direct hypocrisy of their criticism of Microsoft for doing the same with the OS market.

The concept of brand loyalty annoys me far more than brands themselves, though I do try to avoid them at every turn as well...

News Corporation.

Uniden (personal reasons; they make crap cordless phones)

Trump.

Anything written in Comic Sans.

not into Brands

Ditto.

Crocs........those stupid looking foam sandals.

i think they're designed to be comfortable instead of looking good.

I hate comic sans too!

I despise Macintosh for hiding the same glitches as other brands behind a pretense of being "hip".

I hate Ikea. Catalogue shopping for people who are impressed by soulless flat-pack goods with silly names. I'd rather make my furniture from bits and pieces I found in a scrapyard, quite frankly.

Pretty much every single one of them. :)
yeah, with very few exceptions like RedHat, certain ISPs and ALDI :)

Dickies.
Dickies aren't 'the shit', they are just shit!

Macintosh. God I hate Macintosh.

Windows works so much better.
Apple and MS are both crappy.

I prefer any windows because you can actualy play games and do work on it, wheras any Apple stuff is only playing games.

I thought this thread was going to be about cattle brands . . .

I was about to reply to something else...

I thought this thread was going to be about cattle brands . . .
In Soviet Russia, it is!
Happy now?

Apple, Nintendo, Sony.

I agree with you on points 1 and 3.
Nintendo is the best though.

You have no taste.

I think if the word "popular" is used, I don't like it. Especially clothing-wise.

Same here.

I do wear some "popular" brands though, but very sparingly. Many girls I know get all their stuff from Macy's or Aeropostale (or Roxy/Billabong/sk8r brandz), but I get some stuff from other stores and I wear very little of the already-mentioned brands. :)

I hate the "popular" clothing brands... why can't people just have their own styles... stupid American capitalism... :headbang:

I alos have to say Apple, Axe (spray-on deodarant for those not in the know... dig up a commercial and you'll know why!), and and celebrity-inspired brand.

Microsoft, Apple, Sony, HP, the GAP, EA, IKEA, Chevrolet, Ford, Tommy Jeans. Um, all I can think of off the top of my head.

Thank heavens that you didn't mention Nintendo.
If you had then I would have had to kill you.

I loathe apple with a passion, especially their alleged 'alternative hipness' image. I especially hate how the media seems to refer to ipods as a seperate entity to mp3 plyers when they're one and the same. :mad: But apart from that, Sony, always Sony.

I think I dislike any brand which puts profit ahead of any sort of quality. For example, Budweiser. Shitty, tasteless blad beer who is only there to make shit loads of cash. Same with McDonalds etc etc.

For some reason (don't ask me why), I find Hollister extremely irksome.
