I think it's supposed to be cool to not care about anything, so everyone says that everything is overrated. I think some of them might not know what it means.

It probably is overused BUT I think this detracts attention from more serious word abuse, such as:

Like. God. Gay. Totally. Whatever. Suck. Cool. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon iosis, etc.

This is all very sad.

It is a little bit abused but its not being abused the way the phrase "it is what it is" is being abused

I think it's a silly word, and usually completely irrelevant. If the only reason you dislike something is because other people like it a whole lot, then you're a pretentious dick. And if you dislike it for other reasons, say them instead.

Yes and I tend to abuse it.

Yeah sometimes I get sick of everyone using it to describe everything
