In my case I've hated Harry Potter, skinny jeans and Tesla long before that became popular to do.

I moved to the bay area in 2012, absolutely hated Musk back then and thought all of his success was hanging onto other's coattails and good timing (which fair enough, is a skill + huge privilege in and of itself, but isn't the same as inventing/engineering) but he was really popular here. He continued to reveal himself to be more and more of a shitheel over the years and I got to slowly see everybody I knew and worked with eventually come around to the same opinion I had held for more than a decade.
