Oh and I don't get country music either. Sounds like something right out of my dog's howling.And, yes, I grew up in Nashville. I went to school with the children of country music stars; lived around the corner from one of the pioneers of the form of music and I still hate it.I don't get the Kardashians, legalized marijuana and Illinois' propensity to tax anything that moves. The Kardashians impress me as a bunch of spoiled brats who leveraged their Dad's OJ fame.

Some of these things that people get or don't get are because they are of an era. Take Dumb and Dumber, that movie was on near constant rotation in our apartment when we stumbled back home on the weekends (along with the South Park movie and Billy Madison). Those movies are hilarious and nostalgic to me but I also get why people don't get them because they saw them once or something and just think they are silly.Things I don't get:Youtube viral videosSlimePeople who enjoy yard workAnything by U2Quentin Terintino filmsJudging something retro-actively
This is a fun thread.I love Neil Young, especially 70s era but he made a lot of great stuff much later, too.
I don't really like country music, either, but I should. Anybody can sing country. You don't need a voice at all. Much of it is just talkin'.
And not you but ...Surprised by the level of dislike for the Stones. Crazy.
I'm with you on Amy Schumer. She wasn't bad in her acting roles but I don't think her standup is particularly strong. Your comedian selection has a certain pattern though...I do not get:Facebook for your newborn childrenPosting hundreds of pictures in the middle of a vacationCleansesBeing rude to service workersBig Bang TheoryAversion to advanced statistics
Coffee.I tried it once, 25 years ago. Awful. So I put some sugar in it. It was 3% less awful. So I put some more sugar in it, and it was 5% less awful. Thinking about others I've seen, I dumped 4-5 more spoons of sugar in there and it was almost OK, but it was too much work.
This is a great list except for Neil Young
I actually have a playlist I made on Spotify called "Good Stones" It's 13 songs.
