Overrated
A word used to demonize someone or something(usually related to popular culture) when the time or brain capacity needed to define the person/thing isn't present.
Commonly used as a way to show superiority to it, fans of it, or simply people talking about it.
The more popular one of things becomes, the more it loses its artistic integrity with the masses, especially those who group themselves in the 'sophisticated underground culture'.


The funny thing is, so many people are calling things "overrated" left and right today that that term itself is becoming overrated, and so are they.
