I also think another part of the reason people hate U2 is a lack of understanding of how good JT and AB were and as a live act they were then at their top. For the past 20 years the only memorable songs that they have come out with that younger fans may recognize are Beautiful Day and Vertigo.
To many people that haven't been on this earth for very long look at U2 and Bono strutting around calling themselves the "Biggest Band on the Planet" but have two real radio hits to their name in the past 20 years, I can see how people that don't understand them and hate their guts. It makes perfect sense to me.
I think people feel they are very over-rated and are sick of hearing about them. The hype doesn't equal the out-put to many people out there. If they weren't so vocal about themselves and refering to themselves as such great artists there wouldn't be such a push back.
