Something that is important to many people. But, similar to the telephone game- “something” starts as a simple idea, but transforms into something different, or new. Many people are involved; the thing has lost its originality. What began as a simple idea has changed and now it’s just overrated.

Get the Overrated mug.
Ironically enough, the most overrated adjective ever! Used by bitter snobs who hate on people who are interested in different tastes like a bunch of children. Usually a sign of immaturity, insecurity, unabashed racism, emasculating tendencies to nerd rage, and a life so unfulfilling that they actually give a shit about meaningless dichotomy.
Music elitist: Rap Music is overrated garbage, I wish people would listen to Metal instead!
Video game elitist: Fortnite is overrated garbage, I wish people would play Final Fantasy like I do!
Anime elitist: Dragonball Z is overrated garbage, I wish people would watch Fullmetal Alchemist as I do!
Normal person: Cock jousting is overrated garbage, I wish people would shut the fuck up, enjoy what makes them happy, and stop fighting like a bunch of crack-addicted 5th graders!
All elitists: Shuht uhp, Joofaggit, wea nohw yoo suhk marksuhst dik!
My faith in humanity: I Just can't seem to get happy, maybe this will help. *pulls out noose

Get the Overrated mug.
Something that earns too much merit despite not being as great as other people claim it is. (Usually has a very nerdy social reject fanbase who will criticize you for not liking it.)

Examples:
Undertale
Christopher Nolan
Game of Thrones
The Walking Dead
Nintendo 64
PlayStation 1
'90s nostalgia
Modern indie rock/pop
Tom Brady
Michael Brown

ALL of these things are highly overrated.

Get the overrated mug.
A term used to describe something that gets more hype and credit than it's actually worth.

So due to personal opinion and anyone who hates anything that's well known, No matter how brilliant something is, if it gets a lot of media attention then there's always someone who will think it's overrated.
Person A) "I'm gonna watch my TV..."
