We all enjoy a good rant or quip about what's over rated. Shall we here indulge?
Over-rated: Nietzsche & Pink Floyd -- like acne, body piercings, and mac & cheese, Nietzsche and Pink Floyd seemed so important when I was angst-y teen and, later, a cliche-ish intellectual. But, upon further review, they just seem so overrated.

Indeed we shall: Cooking Shows are OVER-RATED...
Rant coming up: They seem to have spread over all channels to such an extent that changing channels no longer help, and I am so fed up with them that if I see just one more I may (insert proper smilie here). Come up with something new, someone... Please. If I want cooking I can go to the kitchen, for crying out loud.

I was all about the first few seasons of the Real World where they actually did something other then go to the bar.

TV in general is overrated, in my opinion. After living for five months without one, I surprised myself last Christmas and bought one. But I turn it on only twice a week.

The word overated is overated.
While I like movies, I feel that the act of going to the movies is overrated. There is little point to it since the darn thing is just going to come out on DVD later, plus it's always so expensive. My hubby loves it but I really don't get it.

I'm so offended haha.
I think Kant is overrated by far. I think Schopenhauer would appeal to angsty teenagers more than Nietzsche. Nietzsche & Schopenhauer influenced Freuds theories, especially Schopenhauer... Freud was also overrated.
Nietzsche probably is overrated in a way... Too many people have been inspired by his philosophy, and the inspirations at times are at odds with each other. Too many people have "rated him" and been influenced by his books when they were not meant to be that massively read.. He referred to his books as for the few. I think he'd rather be underrated. You know too many people are reading him and misinterpreting him when Zionists and Nazis both lay claim to him as an inspiration.

Guess what? Edgar Allan Poe? Yeah. Overrated.

Jersey Shore is the sh*t - it is genius stuff
Eating out is overrated. Most restaurant food is just OK at best - even the more expensive restaurants
I have found one really great mom-and-pop restaurant that really serves delicious food where I live - one
Name Brands (especially clothing Logos) are overrated...
