It's not really overrated though, it's more of a personal preference than anything. I'd prefer to watch a band play passionately at the pub than a group go through the same stuff they've been doing since their New York show 5 months ago.

It seems understanding what the term overrated means is itself overrated.

You don't need to go that far. South Pacific is good.
Going to Bali for my fifth time in seven years in March. I hate Kuta.

Bali is only overrated by people who think it's an exotic holiday destination, a cultural experience etc.
I've only been there once and had a reasonable time. Stayed in Seminyak, visited Legian regularly and Kuta once. Also checked out Ubud and a few other spots along the coast.
It's got a lot going for it. Good snorkelling, surfing etc. if you know where to look. Tropical climate, SE Asian food, nice hotels. But let's be honest there are two reasons minor reasons Aussies go there: it's close and it's easy (everyone in the tourist parts speaks English, the path is well and truly worn). And there's the major one: it's cheap. You can work an average job here earning an average wage and when you go there you can live like (and be treated like) a king. If Bali was like Switzerland (ie 20 hours away and expensive) Aussies wouldn't go there.

I haven't been to Bali before so can't comment too much. As I said above though, I like the South Pacific. Many of the countries aren't too expensive and it can be a fun cultural experience too.

Bands still play passionately no matter if it's at the RSL or Wembley.

Ha! I knew it!!
In-n-Out burger. It's just a standard burger, read on facebook people were queuing at 4am for it in Sydney. I've had it in LA and it wasn't even that good.
Credit to the organisers though, great marketing.

But maybe it's justly rated that way. I mean, bands get older, less enthusiastic possibly; they release a difficult second album, therefore play worse material as they progress; you're actually somewhere in the same postcode as the band on stage.
A great example of a band who became progressively shitter as they aimed for stadium success is Kings Of Leon.
I'd always prefer a sweaty little room to Rod Laver etc, every time!

Nailed it.
Ubud was the best part of Bali for me, and it's probably the last thing that comes to the average Aussie's mind when they're associating things with Bali.

I enjoyed my time in Kuta.
But I still prefer other places in SE Asia other than Bali.

Had it in Fresno in California. From memory the chips were nice but the burgers were shithouse.

The In'n'Out hype was ridiculous. Their burgers are above average for a super fast food chain, but they're not worth queuing up for any length of time, let alone 6+ hours. They are marketing it very well, if they opened up a proper store it'd have some novelty value at first and then die off completely.

I didn't even know they were coming to Australia until I read that post.
