Who Here Likes/Dislikes 'YOLO'

I hate it... I'm totally with you on this one. That statement makes me cringe every time that I hear it...

It usually means some terrible thing is happening/going to happen.

 

It's just carpe diem for stupid people.

 

Hate it besides what if you become a zombie then you come back lol

 

I like the phrase "you only live once". To say YOLO is to ruin it. It just makes it sound so dumb.

 

Well I guess it would depend on the context. I personally dont use it, although I'm sure everyone who does isnt using it for illogical actions. I just saw a poster on here use it, and theirs was pointed towards a postive ideal so I wouldnt jump the gun on it.

 

I could care less either way?

 

I wasn't going to post in this thread, but then I figured, what the heck, yolo.

I like it for what it is, and that's a silly expression that tries to validate stupid behaviour.

Sure, I think it's dumb that people justify foolhardy behavior with catchphrases. Mainly I just think saying "yolo!" sounds aesthetically stupid. It's like making a heart with your hands to tell someone you love them: it is such a silly gesture that I cannot take it very seriously.

If you're encouraging someone to try something new, just say "you only live once." You don't have to shorten it to make a word that sounds like a character on a children's TV show.

 

I don't like it, it seems to me that most people use it to try to justify doing something stupid.

 

Basically, when people say YOLO... I pretend to pull out a gun and I say, 'sadly.'

 

I'm annoyed by it and what it has become, but in the end I couldn't care less. If you want to scream "YOLO" and jump off a cliff the go right ahead. I won't stop you.

 

It started as something good (the idea that you only live once), but as it does with so many things, popular culture has ruined it, and it has become something bro-douches and sorostitutes shout before making a terrible decision. I can't possibly like the acronym now.

I can't lie, the fact that that town exists is pretty spectacular. :lol:

I really don't like it. Funnily enough, I use it jokingly a whole lot around my friends. Never seriously though. As others have said, it's a stupid excuse to do things that completely contradict what it means.

"Gettin' wasted! #Yolo!"

-.-

 

that's someone's calling card to do something stupid. you'll never hear someone that has nothing to lose living like that.

yesterday, i saw someone elsewhere say when are people going to catch up with YODO. i agree. somehow people forget that they only have one life.
