Way too often I'll see a video that's like "this genre sucks" and it's a made up genre that essentially means "bad music/movies/etc". Like, sure, this new genre where the only commonality between the works is that they're personally annoying to you is something the entire world needs to know about. Upload that video essay prompto!
I think the most popular example of this is the term "grimdark" where barring its usage in very niche communities, is almost exclusively used as an insult. And when those people try to "analyze" the genre they get confused at how contradictory it is and I'm like "yeah, because you just give the label to everything you don't like."
