  1. Hmm…I don’t care about:
    what constitutes a “hipster”
    “Eat, Pray, Love.”
    Jackson Pollock
    the military look

    I do, however, care about:
    gay rights
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (we all need some frivolity, right?)
    ethical journalism
    my cat

  2. Sister Wolf says:

    OH GOD! eat pray love, ugh, make it stop.

  3. sketch42 says:

    I fucking love you…

    SPORTS
    news
    anything in vogue
    Sea of shoes
    tavi
    madmen
    the office
    facebook

    there must be more….

  4. sonja says:

    baby bump alerts
    jennifers, in general
    twitter
    conspiracy theories

  5. Hortense says:

    New York
    the “Elaine of Seinfeld” fashion trend
    Paris Hilton’s arrest
    Sarah Palin
    Megan Fox
    Inception
    Impending S/S 2011 RTW
    Anime
    Garance Dore’s stupid, tone-deaf fash scribbles (not to mention her pet cock)
    Facebook
    The Tea Party
    The Prep Revival
    Glee

    American Israel/Palestine Activism (I know that sounds awful, but if Americans had any solutions we wouldn’t have fucked up Iraq).

    Mad Men (seconded!) and my friends’ irritating justifications as to why they watch it: “it’s ironic”/”it’s a mirrored commentary of today’s culture”…meaning: that redhead’s rack.

  6. Aja says:

    I agree with pretty much everything on here (except Rick Owens . . .I LURVE HIM). And yes, people in DC are pretty bad about the triathlon nonsense. I never feel athletic enough for this city. I fuggin’ hate the gym.

  7. Aja says:

    Oh and I still love Michelle O. She can do no wrong. And she’s probably sick of people talking about her style as well. As a matter of fact, I’d bet money on it.

  8. Liz!! says:

    Eat, Pray, Love YES! But that’s already crossed into “giving a fuck” territory for me, because I will probably strangle the next person who suggests the “spiritually enlightening” novel for my reading list.

  9. Anna-Maria says:

    I’d say pretentious people.
    Lady Gaga is also on the top of my list.

    But Rick Owens? Really? I can’t say one bad word about him!!!

  10. Mary says:

    Agree except for 70s punk bands, Rick Owens and Mad Men.
    Totally disagree. I am pretty much over fashion blogs, oh and fuckwits.

  11. Liz!! How can you hate our Carey? She’s just so inoffensive.
    I care so little about the Biebs that I left him from my first list.
    I also don’t give a fuck about:
    The ‘alternative’ band genre – fucking lazy.
    Olivia Palermo
    Urban Outfitters – overpriced beyond belief
    The Supermodels, especially Kate Moss. FUCK OFF!
    Jane Austen
    Glee – it makes mah skin crawl
    Cold callers – though I was one at one point, hellish
    Signing a petition to send to our PM to stop stoning in Iran – yes it’s grim and vile, but what’s he gonna do about it? We should petition God.
    Vogue – because this month UK Vogue has Cheryl on the cover and I want her dead.

  12. And I meant that the ‘alternative’ genre is lazy because it just lumps loads of non-related artists together so it doesn’t have to bother classifying them. I’m sure the bands are great. I just wish that they would think a little harder.
    Oh, and bands that call their debut albums after themselves. It shows even less creativity.

  13. Lauren.. I understand and more than agree with you.

    But morality is about what we human beings allow ourselves to do.

    Biology is about what we WANT to do.

  14. Dru says:

    More I don’t give a shit about:

    Dan Brown books
    the Oscars, the Grammies, or other pointless American award ceremonies
    marshmallows
    Jonathan Safran Foer
    whoever Vogue puts on the cover (unless they are Marion Cotillard or Penelope Cruz, who are phenomenal actresses)
    Facebook
    the John Hughes/Molly Ringwald movies
    The New Yorker fiction
    My (obtained two weeks ago) law degree
    Most It-Girls
    American football (“football” to me= what Americans call “soccer”)
    whatever the hell Roman Abramovich is up to
    Camel coats (I’m amazed no one has cracked a camel toe joke yet)
    Gossip Girl
    Bollywood
    The third Hunger Games book (seriously, what a bunch of suck the ending was)
    Fur- real or fake
    WAGs
    All “streetstyle” photographers who are not Bill Cunningham or the guys from FRUiTS/DropTokyo
    Eat Pray Love
    whether Angelina Jolie is a man-eating husband-stealer or not (seriously, it’s been five fucking years, people need to get over it)
    Coffee
    Fashion’s Night Out
    Cricket

    I still love Mad Men though, Sister, ditto with Rick Owens and Margiela- a bunch of label-obsessed morons are NOT going to ruin them for me. Also, I have a question for you- what on earth is Frassy, is it a new kind of milkshake or something?
    As for vampires, please, if they’re not from the Buffyverse, Dracula, Noseferatu or Anne Rice, TAKE THEM AWAY (and shove them in sunlight, fire, whatever, while you’re at it).

    PS: HelonWheels, you might want to check this one out- http://vagabondiana.blogspot.com/. She doesn’t comment here, and she’s been a contributor to Lula among others, but I really like this blog- she’s intelligent, hasn’t swallowed the industry Kool-Aid and hardly does any outfit posts (her words are enough).

  15. Dru says:

    Oh, and iPads. I really don’t give a shit.

  16. sonja says:

    playoff seasons
    iPads

  17. arline says:

    Lately, and sadly, I don’t care about ANYTHING.

    I am doing my best not succumb to the September sorrow, that often engulfs me.

  18. Devin says:

    – Every “fashionisto/a” in NYC wearing the same god-awful black drapey look accompanied by a harness, ugly “geometric” haircut and harem pants
    -mad men (I thought I was alone for so long!)
    -Rush Limbaugh
    -it bags
    -coconut water in a juice box
    -most fashion blogs
    -Fashion’s night out
    -the new iphone 4
    -fur
    -that asshole who said they don’t care about the trapped miners

  19. sketch42 says:

    Hortense what is

    the “Elaine of Seinfeld” fashion trend?

    Thats a fashion trend? Obviously I dont give a fuck about it if I never even knew it existed.

    I also dont give a fuck about the obamas. Especially Michelle’s arms and decorating choices.

  20. Braindance says:

    Facebook
    Twitter (Halfway between twat & shitter)
    Fair weather friends
    Alpha mums with pointless points to prove
    Prince William choosing a wife
    Passive agressive behaviour (man up and say what you mean dicksplash)
    New York fashion week
    Any fashion week
    Fashion seasons (Fuck you, I will wear what I what, when I want, and many times too)
    expensive make up
    Kate Moss (who knew being a crack head could be so chic?)
    Outdoor festivals
    People who use the baby pram with the baby in it to stop traffic so they can cross the road
    People who say like after every other word
    Diets

    I could go on and on, but my crank o meter is in danger of tipping into full on hate fest. I blame the moon.

  21. AmandaMichele says:

    -Hammer toes
    -Juicy Couture
    -Being taller than my boyfriend when I wear heels
    -The zit on my cheek
    -The Tea Party (Hortense you are very wise)
    -Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, anyone branded and sold by Disney
    -American Vogue
    -People who think they have the answer to the Iran/Iraq troubles
    -Mom of Shoes
    -Clients who make huge sums of money and give nothing to charity (I disallow their meal expenses, pay for that shit yourself, jerk)

  22. Laura says:

    Aviator Jackets
    “Fashion’s Night Out” – yuck
    Facebook chat
    Robert Pattinson and his vampire alter ego
    Anyone from The Hills
    People who go running before and/or after work
    The Daily Mail (ridiculous UK newspaper)
    When fashion bloggers quote from literature in a really affected, self-conscious way

    … however these are erring on the side of hatred rather than apathy

  23. patni says:

    Eat Pray Love

    Yet another stupid actress who found a reason to live by having a child

    Mad Men. watch the tv show… but do we have to have a whole fucking issue of vogue full of scrawny models stuffed into faux 50s dresses?

    The big boobed chick from mad men.

    The latest acttress to stuff cocaine up her nose for a couple of months, lose 15lbs and claim it was pilates.

    Tom Cruise
    Sports
    Brad and Angie etc etc
    jersey shores or house wives or what ever.
    Lindsey Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Paris hilton, etc.
    Rich peoples drug problems
    There is a whole lot more.

  24. patni says:

    and eeeeew Garance, and her irritating breathless writing, or her stupid boyfriend, and or any picture he posts.
    Tiger Woods.
    Any other cheating asshole.
    Obamas penis
    blogging ethics
    yet another fashion week
    yet another designer collection
    how much money people earn

  25. JK says:

    Holy Shit !!! I never realized how much stuff there is to not give a fuck about. I guess now this means I’m finally beginning to understand why my Mom is always telling me I “should feel chastened” (or however the fuck it’s supposed to be spelled).

    Now that I think about it – I don’t give a fuck that somebody else is trying to tell me how I should feel, nor for that matter, if I spelled the word correctly or not.

    Fuck it.

    Thank you Sister Wolf. I feel much better now.

  26. JK says:

    One thing though… what is/was it about Singapore?

    Not that I give a fuck about it in 2010, but between ’79 through ’86, that’s where friends lived I could visit, without having to transit another place I didn’t then nor now give a fuck about – the bar at the Dallas/Ft Worth airport (except to the extent whether Marsha of TWA would be sipping rum and tonics in the timeframe). [Not now HelOnWheels it was a long time ago].

    Any explanatory input would greatly assist me in determining whether (as Sister Wolf seems interested too) I should consider placing it on my list of things I don’t give a fuck about either.

  27. Alicia says:

    This place…I love this place.

    My list:

    pregnant celebrities
    celebrity affairs
    celebrities in prison
    Jersey Shore
    religious facism
    Palin (who i include in the above)
    “Alex” Wang
    award shows
    fashion week
    vogue/elle/
    the new hot shit that is wearing
    facebook
    shaving my legs
    the economy
    people who are disappointed that Obama isn’t a “magic negro”
    Beyonce
    93% of twitter
    rich people who get attention for no other reason than being rich
    Nostradamus’s predictions/the Mayan calendar

  28. Esme Green says:

    Garance Dore
    she is a bore

  29. Esme Green says:

    The Daily Mail, what utter bloody crap

  30. Esme Green says:

    My neighbours

  31. Hortense says:

    The Tragically Misinterpreted “Elaine Look”:

    http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2010/08/some_people_in_this_town_are_t.html

    http://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/fashionista-blog/elaine-from-seinfeld-fashion

    And you know what? I love Elaine! She was one of my first lesbian crushes of childhood but this was precisely because she was so un-fashion.

    My heart is slain by the desperation of the invention of this “trend” and the quickness to posit the 90s as a fashion treasure trove.

  32. Ann says:

    Aw Devin. I admitted it was awful of me not to care heavily about the trapped miners in Chile, but I’m not an asshole. There are myriad other injustices and woes to humankind on my mind that take place right here at home, that’s all.

  33. Liz!! says:

    “Liz!! How can you hate our Carey? She’s just so inoffensive.”

    Strangely, her inoffensiveness offends me. She reminds me of Renee Zellwegger, who has this signature look on her face in red carpet photos. Carey Mulligan’s face is all pinched. To me, it looks like she’s saying “Aren’t I darling? Aren’t I twee?” I don’t know why it irritates me, but it does.

    Oh, and the way that beauty magazines talk, her pixie cut started the trend. And I hate pixie cuts. And I don’t like the way it looks on her.

    It’s just a weird thing, I guess. I don’t hate her acting too much, so she is in my “things I don’t care about” list rather than my haaaaaate list.

    While I’m here, to add more:

    Katy Perry
    The DC Housewives incarnation
    MAC makeup
    Zooey Deschanel (I actually think she’s gorgeous, but I wanted to shoot myself after hearing her talk off-camera on Top Chef Masters.)
    Michael Cera (STOP PLAYING GEEKS)
    Erin Wasson
    Jizz nail polish
    Anything Rumi wears
    The Hunger Games
    Fad books in general
    Oprah
    Anderson Cooper (I couldn’t possibly be more neutral about a person.)

  34. Aja says:

    I guess I should list mine:

    facebook
    nyc hipsters
    dc hipsters
    hipsters in general
    most starlets
    all the trendy blogs
    reality television
    people slamming Obama
    gyms
    overly tan people
    tumblrs which all look alike
    exercise trends
    the Tea Party (the most un fun party of all)
    it girls
    most magazines
    clogs
    Lady Gaga
    Beyonce (I don’t blame Etta James for being annoyed)
    cupcakes

    I think that about sums it up.

  35. Cricket9 says:

    I absolutely couldn’t give a fuck about Rick Owens (and his older French lover What’sHerName) after seeing pictures from their parisian apartment hideously decorated with furniture made from various dead animal body parts and skins. A real animal cemetery, oh-la-la, c’est tellement chic, so French, oh mon Dieu, couldn’t be more pretentious.

  36. kt says:

    Since I’m pretty sure everyone has covered most of the bases, here are a few more that I’d like to add:

    Pyramid studs on everything
    Judd Apatow movies
    The Sartorialist
    Dov Charney/American Apparel
    Mark of The Cobrasnake
    TOMS shoes
    Prius cars

  38. Sister Wolf says:

    Judd Apatow movies = HATE!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!
    Mui Mui anything, could not care less.

    Lara – Hatred is different. Don’t care about is like, eh, I don’t give a shit, just take it way. Katy Perry is a good example of don’t-care-about, I forgot to list her. Celebrity cellulite, too. Although I LOVE celebrity plastic surgery.

  39. cheraya says:

    Fuck I must be really out of it as I don’t even know who or what half of these people/things are….. Anyway, I certainly don’t give a fuck about lots of things these days, but particularly:

    most magazines
    the latest ‘must-have’ item
    how to prevent ageing
    my alcohol consumption
    religion

    must google this eat pray love thing to find out what it is….

  42. JK says:

    You forgot one thing kt, or were never aware of it:

    Comments Awaiting Moderation

    There was a time, not unlike the female version of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table that a “Cunt Of The Week” nominee was contesting a virtual gold ribbon. “Tell me it ain’t so Joe” ,um, well nicely put (given or not given the Sister Wolf Swang) still remained cognizant that while not in competition for being awarded the title of “COTW” s/he must’ve been in the sorts of company more normal people would make attempts to avoid.

    That sort of person, undeniably would have known the “strange feeling in the nether parts” was not something easily assigned to another. That person requires the best of the soon-to-be-unaffordable of California’s capable too stupid, and clinically recognized, must come to realize, as far as the prestigiously and merit-based “Cunt Of The Week Award” is concerned – has STANDARDS.

    As far as that feeling in the nether parts goes, my prescription is an OTC purchase of Benadryl. The cream will do, but if the ointment form is available, squirt onto fingers, apply generously to affected area, then explain the difference between your shit and bullshit.

  43. tobilynne says:

    Ack! I don’t know what many of those are on your list, but I assume I should be grateful for that. Those I do know, however, I must agree I’m sick of hearing about. Except I love 70’s punk and Jane Birkin. Mine:

    Celebrity couples.
    Shitty bubblegum pop stars.
    99% of reality television shows.
    Shitgaze.
    “Share the road!!” bicyclists that don’t obey traffic laws.
    Self-help / positive thought books.
    People who think the U.S. is “A Christian Nation”
    Non-scary vampires (what’s the point?).
    People who cannot perform very basic computer functions in 2010.
    Racist old white men.
    Skinny girls who complain constantly about their weight.
    Every book Dan Brown has ever written.
    Anyone who says “I like all types of music except ____ .”
    People who don’t READ on a regular basis.
    Food snobs.

    Wow. I think I feel better now.

  44. Eliza says:

    Also don’t care about Keith Haring. Have you seen the inspired heels Nicholas Kirkwood designed? Or all the wall decals on Karmaloop? I never got it.

  45. duckalicious says:

    oh fuck yeah!!!
    first off, I’m totally stealing the gif for my tumblog. (http://duckalicious.tumblr.com/)

    now to my additions to your lovely list (the most loathed ones from the top of my head):
    Miu Miu SS2010 shoes (you know, those ugly ass birds or whatever)
    LV bags

    if I think of more (which I surely will), I know where to find you!

  46. duckalicious says:

    damn, I didn’t even suspect I’d be back so soon!
