Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Don't know what it is, but I much prefer the Crazy Frog remix, and have always enjoyed it.

Just in general, while Queen is still good, I think they're overrated whereas I also think Crazy Frog gets too much flak.

Not trying to rage-bait, being genuine when I say it's the exact opposite for me.

Like, I can see why people like Queen, don't get me wrong, but honestly it's just been the case that their music has been so overplayed. I know Bohemian Rhapsody is a low blow, but I personally get that same vibe with the rest of their music library.

On the other hand, I've heard from a lot of people that they find Crazy Frog annoying, and I still personally don't "get it" as to why they feel that way.

"Crazy Frog (originally known as The Annoying Thing) is a Swedish CGI-animated character and Eurodance musician created in 2003 by actor and playwright Erik Wernquist. Marketed by the ringtone provider Jamba!, the character was originally created to accompany a sound effect produced by Daniel Malmedahl while attempting to imitate the sound of a two-stroke engine. "

Back when this was new, many people in my circle had this ringtone, hated it then, hate it now. But as long as you don't try to put it on the stereo at my house, we will get along just fine.
