One of the most important lessons I've learned in recent years is that you do not need to have an opinion on everything in the world. Not everything needs some kind of take from you. You don't have to justify not liking something. You don't need to judge everything based on its apparent relationship to the current cultural zeitgeist.
Like, for your sake, you are permitted to just leave things be, let them play out how they'll play out. Don't overestimate the power of your opinions, because chances are they aren't going to change anything regarding the given topic. Like, I promise you your take about how bad of a genre hyperpop is isn't going to have any effect on its popularity no matter how loud you are about it. And that's fine! It's a relief, even, to not have to worry about your sense of responsibility to sway society.
Humans weren't built for constant exposure to everything going on ever. There's only so much information we can process at a time, and trying to exceed that is ultimately unhealthy for your mind. I'm not saying you should just drop out from everything and never talk about anything presently going on in the world ever again. Just, give yourself some room to breathe and just let things be. No pressure.
I think there's also something to be said for treating opinions as "takes." I feel like it necessarily frames them as shock value, and people then use them that way. You can't just have a thought, it has to be something profound or contrarian that Everybody Needs To Hear. It's not about passionately discussing a piece of media, for example, it's about offering "hot takes" to signal what opinion groups you belong to. It probably feeds into the compulsion to treat principles as optics as well - it's not about e.g. being an actual trans ally, it's about broadcasting the right takes to everyone. Not to suggest that's a problem caused by this or exclusive to it, but I don't think "takes" are helping matters
I really really do not like "takes," it gives the same vibes as CONTENT to me. A sickly version of something effectively canonized in broader vernacular
(this may well be overly bitter and I shouldn't be bothered by this as much as I am [almost definitely true] but I dunno, I just. think about this stuff sometimes >.<)
