Something (Whether it be a Movie, Band, Song, etc.) that gets more credit and fame than it necessary. I find it sad when someone uses this website to trashtalk a band (Master Shake and GnR). It's even sadder when he and his friend are the only people to give his definition thumbs up.
Nirvana is an overrated band.
Gangsta Rap is an overrated music genre.
Master Shake is an overrated human being.

Slash is NOT overrated.
Guns N' Roses are NOT overrated.

adj: said of a person, work of art, or phenomenon that recieves undeserved credit or popularity.
Note: lately, the word has been abused in popular culture to label something popular that the speaker simply dislikes or has an objection to on principle. Among fans of hip-hop, said speaker is often deemed a hater. In extreme cases, he/she is labeled a punk bitch.
Also note, there is no such thing as "overrated" in indie culture. When the word is uttered in the presence of an indie kid, it is often followed by disembodied moans and howls and said person melting like a snowball in Hell.

A word used (often incorrectly) by pretentious hipster snot bags to describe something or someone they don't care for, especially when they are describing something that is extremely popular or well known (such as The Beatles or Batman). Usually they use the word to sound cool and edgy, when really they sound like a giant asshole.
What "overrated" actually means is something is more highly appraised than it should be, which isn't necessarily bad.

Garret: Man, I hate the fucking Beatles! They're so fucking overrated!
Sam: Really? Are you saying that just because you don't like their music? I don't think you understand what that word means.

When something becomes overly popular and attains a fandom or fanboys/girls, who proceed to claim it is better than it actually is, to the point of utter retardation. A certain way to make something overrated is to have ignorant people embrace it, who will then employ all their ignorant and illogical might to defend it being questioned by anyone with a logical sense.
Examples of tings that have become Overrated as a cause of extreme and unjust popularity:
-Naruto
-Jesus
-Tyrannosaurus rex
-Starcraft
-Blizzard
-Muhammed
-Mother Theresa
