Germans Share Their Unpopular Opinions | Easy German 654

I would like to know today what opinions people don't necessarily share with everyone. and which current trends are completely overrated. Here we go! What do all the others like, but you don't like at all? Avocado Toast Oh man, is this delicious! No, I'm not allowed to at all. Why not? It gives me absolutely nothing. I find it just tastes like nothing. Also, there are just a few spices on it, but no, I completely don't get the hype. Therefore. Why? Because it is so healthy. Yes, it's healthy, but not for me. What do all the others like, but you don't like at all? Barefoot shoes I have to be honest with you, I'm loyal to barefoot shoes, but now I want to hear from you Know why you don't like them? I've worn barefoot shoes for the first time today, and my feet are already quite sore. What do all the others like, but you don't like at all? Everyone else likes oranges, but I don't like oranges at all. I hate her. You even hate her, that's a strong word. Dance above all. Also, personally, I think it would be bagels for me. Why don't you like bagels? Also, it's not that I don't like bagels per se—I find them quite delicious—and Also well documented and stuff, but I don't understand this hole in the middle, and these ones then also often more expensive than regular filled buns, and I don't understand why I get less Buy bread, but pay more for it. That is very efficiently thought out. What do all the others like, but she doesn't like at all? Football. Super answer. Why don't they like football? I don't like such loud events, and I also dislike this macho behavior. and even the entire surrounding environment is not mine. The techno culture in Berlin. Super answer. Why, what don't you like about it? Also, I'm from Berlin and techno is part of it, and that everyone should be allowed to do whatever he wants or what she wants, but all the drug use and the withholding of any DJs, I don't know, who could have done something better instead In life, yes, that actually annoys me, and it's ruining the city. What do all the others like, but you don't like at all? Campfire You don't like campfires? I'm sorry. Of all the answers I've heard today, this one surprises me the most. Why don't you like campfires? I don't really like the vibe that guy's campfire gives off. Also, I like it when all people talk to each other and gather around the campfire always. the people who then play a guitar and must have everyone listening. I don't like that very much, unfortunately. I say, have firm opinions. I'd say it's currently very popular to have a very clear-cut stance on everything. and I have the feeling that sometimes a little ambiguity and vagueness can be beneficial perhaps even do us all a little good. Is there any trend that you think is totally overrated? Labubus. What is this? Accessories that you hang on your pockets or on various other things that look like that those little, very ugly monsters with button eyes. Is there still a trend you think is totally overrated? Low-waist jeans Why? Because you need to be quite slim for it to look good, that's the whole point of the skinny trend. Yes, just dangerous. One trend I find greatly overrated is these down jackets that everyone is wearing. And in winter there is no person who doesn't have such a down jacket, such a more blooming one Wears a down jacket. Also, I've noticed that. That's a trend; I don't have to join in. A trend, yes, getting your lips injected. That actually seems very strange to me. Yes, that's correct. Yes, there are currently tons of such beauty trends, which aren't really, well, perhaps somewhat understandable are Also, something immediately comes to mind—E-scooters. I don't know, for some reason I just can't get used to them. Not clear at all, and I actually find them annoying rather than helpful. But perhaps I'm the only one with this opinion; I don't know. No, you aren't. I must be honest with you—I've never bought an electric scooter for myself before. I've actually stood on one before, just to try it out, but yes, No, that is a good answer. Oh my God, so Labubus and all that, totally didn't get it at all. Didn't realize at all. That is not, that is not at all, but that is true, that is not it at all. What was the name of the monster from last summer, Lulu, Labubu? Not another one, I've already heard this three times now, I can't take this anymore I can no longer hear Labubu. It's just overrated, that's true, they're quite right about that. It's just a monster that people find awesome, and I'm not one of them. Maybe the trend of wearing joggers, putting a skirt over them, and then adding a coat as well. One more dress, and then somehow still pull on a pair of leggings over everything, that's it I cannot find a trend. Layers. Yes, so too easy, I don't check it, I simply don't check it. Well, I just don't think it's nice when people, you can see me, all in black circles Leiden Also if this is now a trend and these shoes have those thick soles, then I like it Not to me. Right here in Prenzlauer Berg, we used to have a very colorful scene back in the day, what has already changed quite a bit, well, become very uniform now. Is there any trend that you think is greatly overrated? Tattoos are also included, and I don't understand that. That strikes me as interesting. Yes, what bothers you about it, or what do you think is overrated about it? People do it anyway because they want to express something, and I can just say I don't know what they're trying to express, that one would make such a decision It doesn't really apply to the tattoo, which as a practical matter cannot be undone. to undo is something you carry with you for a lifetime, on your skin, like that I don't understand a decision. But we were just in a second-hand store, and there were these cowboy boots that were just Somewhat currently very much in demand, and I don't see it that way at all. Of course, in the end, fashion allows everyone to express themselves however they wish. She would like to, but it never really reaches me. Have you tried them on? No. Maybe, if I were to wear them, maybe they'd look good on me, that could be Of course also his. The current trend here at my university is exactly that—using Chat-GPT to do an incredible amount of work. Having them generate model solutions and stuff like that is absolute crap, those people... They no longer think independently, on their own. I wouldn't want to deny you that at all, but I have the feeling that one is making it too easy on oneself too easy right now, you don't need to ask Chat-GPT what this word and that word mean, when you can simply google it. Sometimes it's precisely the beautiful thing about it—doing things differently from everyone else, then it becomes It is often interesting and unique, and so is our partner app SeedLink.

Is there anything that's typical for your generation but doesn't at all fit you, or where you You're stepping a little out of line? Perhaps that I read relatively a lot and watch few series. What's typical for your age group, but you don't identify with it? Good question. So at 30 you kind of start a bit, what do you actually do in terms of leisure activities? Many are cycling in that direction. I only do that when I need to get from A to B, but not for fun now. With me, it's very personal, but I don't think I can relate to it all that much. Identify internet memes. I usually don't understand it, and I usually don't notice it either. Just now. That is, I think that although I spend a lot of time on Instagram and so on, That is, I think, something I don't really identify with. Currently having children. For example. Yes, many people my age do it. I don't yet, but maybe it will come along at some point too. Does that bother you? No, I find that acceptable. I also identify with this entire very fast-paced dating culture. Not at all. Although I believe my generation is also currently trying again to do something like that TikTok. I've already heard that today. I hate TikTok. Seriously though. So once in a while, check what's for food. Cool, but actually not at all. No, TikTok. Absolutely. I find this app utterly pointless. Also, I am, in fact, interested in countries where it is forbidden. That's a very difficult question for my age. You can't say that like that, because what is age? Everyone experiences their age differently. For example, I dance a lot, I do a lot of sports. Maybe others don't do that. They'd rather sit in a café and read a book or something like that. I am very active. What's totally typical for your generation or your age? But don't you identify with it? Probably traveled for about a year after high school, somehow, yes to have seen the world, just once. That's kind of weird, somehow. Culture. What bothers you about it? Well, I'll be very political again. Okay, okay, that people from privileged households, travel from a privileged country to Asia and then say I have seen poverty, and now I understand the world. That bothers me then, actually. Not at all, that doesn't mean one shouldn't travel. Of course, I don't really identify with that. But that's very Gen Y. Yes, could you please tell me about the situation? swimming against the current or thought so, Ah, no, I won't do that. Joa, there are always situations like that, related to racism. Then, as a person of color, I feel that way there so to speak, called up, to open my mouth and speak to people with a migration background or people of color to come to help. So, I'd say, maybe here in Berlin Not so uncommon, but I originally come from the Rhineland. And that was already rather unusual, that, that someone said something. Could you tell me about another situation? Have you ever been treated very differently than your surroundings? I'm no hero, but I once saw a woman I was hit by a car and then I rushed to help And then I also helped. Although I did take the first first-aid course decades ago, But I believe I have managed to stabilize her. And therefore I found that quite good. Of course I didn't save anyone's life. She was only injured. But I just noticed that many people were standing around outside and no one has helped. At school we had Often, one or two kids were hacked to pieces. They were also greatly excluded. And I was often in the situation where I then ended up being the only one, who approached it and said, Hey, let's get out of here, it's not that cool here. Exactly, something like that. Also there, I always had It has always come very easily to me to help people. those that fail to connect and then somehow get them involved in it a bit. The only thing that immediately comes to mind is my hobby. I do all sorts of tricks with a scooter like this one. No electric scooter. But I'm asked this all the time, Hey, why don't you ride a skateboard? That's much cooler, or something like that. But I do my tricks and all that stuff with it too. What I do, for example, is I pick up these electric scooters. If they are lying somewhere at the edge, I pick her up and put her back down. Because then they would look functional again. It's garbage, looks like trash. In principle, I think it's good that something like this exists. And every scooter I come across, I pick up again. That is a nice habit. Sure, one should somehow just do one's own thing. I think that's great. I have always done it in some form as well. But always wanting to stand out in cramp from the entire mass, I also find myself wanting to be different just for the sake of being contrary. I also find that regrettable in principle. Just as when one says, for example, I am not like other women. Then I always think to myself, yet, I am like other women. Because I simply think women are great in general. Also, to put it very dramatically. But it is precisely this balance between recognizing Okay, we are special and yet not special at the same time. I wanted to do something different today as well. That's why I thought I'd just make the outro from a playground. Now I'm curious. What do you do differently from everyone else? Write it down in the comments below.
