I like how you mentioned Nickelback but then decided that that was too gross and awful even for a thread about things that people find gross and awful.

Rupi Kaur and her awful poetry readings. Joss Whedon and his quippy dialogue.

That's partly because artists are seeing their work being ripped off and (presumably) losing work over it, too.

Everything I've mentioned is stuff large groups of people have ranted about for years on the basis of aesthetics.

Unfortunately it probably is, but that tends to be the case with threads like these.
I think those days are probably, for the most part, well behind us. People still get fired up over the specific ideological content of images - the Jyllands Post Mohammed cartoons and stuff like that - but that's completely orthogonal to finding an aesthetic repulsive in itself. And people getting angry over bad language is closer to the former than the latter, anyway.
