They don't dislike U2, they DESPISE U2. The most common argument I hear is that "All their music sounds the same."
My English teacher wanted to use an example of Orwellian ideas in music (we were reading 1984), and played "Zooropa," maybe U2's most alternative song. Everyone at that moment agreed that my musical taste had gone to hell. That was the only time I was embarassed about being a U2 fan, more just because I felt U2 hadn't been given a chance. Really, that's all it is in general.
The objective music fans I know (you know, that don't follow the shitty rap trends) mostly believe that U2 has good music. Unfortunately, I'm really the only "fan" around.
