A pathetic term used by idiots to describe anyone who has a different opinion to them.

The people who tend to be considered 'haters' are people who express somewhat of a distaste to an object or person, usually justified by their own views fairly and accordingly.

However, fans of said object or person will often take this the wrong way and resort to abuse (usually over the internet) and call them a 'hater'.

The term 'hater' is most commonly used among pre-teen and teenage girls who go out of their way to 'defend' their teen-pop sensations i.e. Justin Bieber, One Direction, Lady GaGa, Rihanna, etc. They can't handle the fact that their 'idols' are generally considered repulsive and distasteful amongst the majority of people with taste and simply can't grasp why. Therefore they all jump to the conclusion that we're all 'haters' and we are jealous of their fame. Which is complete bull shit.

If you have any brain cells, do not use this word, because you will look like a fool. It's not even a word any way.
I think Queen are overrated. I got called a hater for that.

I don't like Justin Bieber. Or One Direction. Or Lady GaGa. Or Rihanna. Or Cher Lloyd. In fact, I don't like any chart music. This therefore means I am obviously a hater -_-

Get the Hater mug.
A person who hates something with no constructive reason. If a person has reasons to hate somethings, then he/she is not a hater.
A non-hater: Lil Wayne is garbage because 1. He's lyrics sucks (EX: I bulletproof the ride, now I feel like armadillas), 2. He sounds like a nerdy hobo, 3. He never raps about his expressions, just money, cars, and bitches.

a hater: Immortal Technique sucks because he is garbage.

A word used by the common herd(idiots) who can not think of any other way of defending something questionable(idiotic). Hater is commonly used against fellow humans that have their own opinion differing from the words user's opinion or the common herd's.

A person that develops a strong dislike for another, solely basing their own opinion on personal judgment rather than objective merit. The formation of a hater's contempt commonly arises from jealously and/or resentment. Individuals that make fun of, or "hate," others for justified reasons cannot be legitimately classified as "haters;" although many faggots attempt to rationalize their own situations by doing so. Additionally, the word "hater" is frequently overused, mainly by members of the rap and hip-hop communities.
John is a hater of the 'Jersey Shore' MTV cast because they have more money than him, not because they are incredibly fucking annoying.

A word used by stupid people. Roughly translated it means:

"What you just said reflected badly on me/somebody that I like and I have no argument whatsoever to defend them. This, however, will not stop me from trying."
"Hey Hitler, what the fuck is this Genocide all about? You sick cunt!"
"Hey man, you're just a hater!"

"Chris Brown is a woman beater!"
"Hey, his music is great! You're just a hater!"

A word that contradicts itself because you're accusing someone of ''hating'' what you like then go off and say you hate them. Therefore, you're a hypocrite. It's also overused by most people (dumb asses) who listen to mainstream rap & pop.
7th Grader: Hey did you listen to that new song all the 7th graders are talking about?!

Smart guy: Yes, and it sucks horribly!

7th Grader: You're just a hater!

Smart guy: And you're a ignorant little kid...

"Hater" is an insult often used by people who are too emotionally attached to a celebrity to accept any criticism of that celebrity no matter how true the criticism is. It is also often used even if the "hater" qualifies their criticism with a positive statement that far outweighs any negative statement made. To call someone a "hater" is an implicit accusation of jealousy, bitterness, and (in some cases) racism. In situations where the "hater" is actually more financially, academically, or socially successful than the accuser, the irony of that fact will always fly over the accuser's head.
Example 1:

A Miami Heat fan: "Steve Nash is one of the best point guards to ever play the game of basketball, but I think that Shaquille O'Neal deserved the 2005 Most Valuable Player award more than Nash."

A Phoenix Suns fan: "You're just a hater".

Example 2:

Me: "Eminem is possibly the best white rapper to ever live, but he is not the greatest rapper of all time."

An Eminem fan: "Shut the #@!$ up, hater."
