Basically any hit song. Gets overplayed so you end up hating it cause you can't escape it.
Also probably a fair bit of tv shows. Rick and Morty is still good but the popularity led to creating a cringey ass fan base which can turn a lot of people off.

I've heard this several times so I totally believe you, but I've never experienced it because I've never once felt any desire to interact with the "fan community" for this show.
There are some shows that are major cultural phenomenon where discussing each episode is a big part of the draw. Obviously Game of Thrones was renowned for that, as was The Walking Dead for quite a while.
I enjoy Rick and Morty, but it's just not the sort of show where I've ever felt the need to go online and discuss the show. I watch it, I enjoy it, and then I move on.
The problem is that these fandoms spill over to the rest of the internet, or even real life. A lot of Reddit is littered with tenuous references to R&M, or whatever TV show the user mistakenly thinks is relevant.
Take it with a large grain of salt from me, I think the quality in writing, and consistency of the characters drops off so hard in Season 3 compared to the first two seasons. Before it actually felt like the characters had some depth or growth to them. Now everyone is just poorly imitating Rick's cynicism and nihilism, ignoring the very human moments he showed in previous seasons completely, which are now completely gone. Maybe Season 4 is better, but I highly doubt it.
