Saying 'Overrated' is overrated, or at least overused. How do you prove that something's objectively not that great rather than you just not liking it?

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

Even though I've fallen out of love with Gaiman in a big way since hitting my 20s, and was going to agree with the OP, I agree with this comment more.

I still love Sandman, and Good Omens. American Gods is good too. But the rest of his novels... they're all a bit blah really.

[arcadiaego.livejournal.com]

I love Sandman and the short stories. Everything else not so much. (Even though I do have a Good Omen's icon. :-P) But I wouldn't say they're "overrated" though; I'm not even sure what that means.

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

I suppose that in fandom and online, there's a whole lot of enthusiasm for his work and he has many die-hard fans. But out in the 'real' world, most people won't have heard of him. So it is pretty hard to say if he's over-rated.

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, basically. I mean, saying something is underrated makes a certain amount of sense because you can take into account the fact that it might not be very well known, etc. But 90% of the time I see something called overrated, it's basically shorthand for "I didn't like it so I don't think other people should either!"

That said, I'm a fan of Neil Gaiman, but I don't think everything he's done is brilliant (far from it; about half his stuff bores me, and some of it was okay but not GENIUS). Still, if what he's writing appeals to and resonates with a lot of people, who am I to argue with that?
