      A word which recently has been used liberally as a way of discrediting something without having to give a proper justification, most often when someone finds they have a disliking for a popular phenomenom and is resentful of those who embrace it. Often used by anti-trendies.

        A term used to describe something that gets more hype and credit than its actually worth.

        So due to personal opinion and anyone who hates anything thats well known, No matter how brilliant something is, if it gets a lot of media attention then theres always someone who will think its overrated.

                          A word that means something is given more hype or credit than it deserves. [Oversensitive] people take [overrated] to mean something is bad. No matter how much you explain that it doesnt mean that, they will continue to continue on their [rampage].

                                      Overrated is a term used to describe something that has been exaggerated or made up in order to be more impressive. For example, if a teenager were to say that they can run faster than Usain Bolt, it might be considered overrated because the teenager has not actually run a race with Usain Bolt. Similarly, if someone were to say that they have a lot of friends, it might be considered overrated because the person has not actually made many new friends recently. In these cases, the term overrated is used to describe something that has been exaggerated or made up in order to impress others.
