UK garage and nu-metal in the form of Deftones and System of a Down. I'd like to think I don't do it anymore, but you can never be sure until after the event.

I've been guilty of it in the past for some higher profile hip hop stuff (Missy Elliot, Outkast) but it was probably more from media overkill than being unfashionable.

Nearly everyone in my peer group hates Spears and Aguilera,
and have since the beginning. I followed suit, but
"I'm A Slave 4 U" gave me pause. Now I've come to realize
that most of their uptempo singles are dang good
(especially Spears).

Never cared about what is trendy or fashionable anyway, except I have hoped for my favourite genres to become fashionable (which they did in the mid 90s with Britpop)

not exactly a case like Dan I. outlines it upthread, but more of an occasion of someone else (a good pal of mine, actually, a classmate back in secondary school) doing their passionate best trying to
make me feel guilty because i preferred "this worthless" - and "unfashionable", yes, at least in our neck o' da woods - "primitive rawk garbage" to the "really cool stuff". for i'd just said to him that in my opinion Lou Reed's
Rock And Roll Animal (the first Reed rekkid i'd heard then) sounded much more exciting than Yes's
Fragile and
Close To The Edge put together (which were the only Yes albums i'd heard at that time, around '75-'77)
he was puzzled; i remained unconvinced. and vice versa.
(eventually, for me, the situation sort of changed over the years. tho never becoming a true Yes man, i've by now lost nearly all love for ol' L'uRe'd)
somewhat strangely (or perhaps not) amongst my circle of friends there was at the same time a solid consensus concerning "those German guys" - Tangerine Dream'ers were firmly believed to be the real deal whereas Kraftwerk were "yo kno, just jokers"
(-- haha?)

These days it's buy the cool stuff, steal the uncool, honestly. In the past, whether something is fashionable or not has played a big part in whether I'm willing to give it more listening time after the initial judgment (i'm a big believer in listening to something you don't like until you listen right).

There's probably a bunch of these but none come to mind. However, I was definitely guilty of linking some bad music just because it was fashionable. I found two reviews I wrote in high school where I inexplicably praised Soundgarden because they're were authentic, not because I actually enjoyed anything of theirs.
