Describe your ideas for each climate classifications, do not confuse with explaining favorable/dislikes, this is about considering how they get reputed in weather conversations and if you agree them to be deserved in a general image.
Overrated
Tropical(Af, Am, Aw) - Tropical paradise. I think some people are over-fantasize how wonderful to have a hot sunny weather all year round. In reality, you can't avoid the rainy season and high humidity unless it's shielded by mountains like Honolulu.
Hot Desert/Subtropical Desert(BWh) - The same hype for the people who glamorize continuous sunny, hence rainless conditions. Enduring 35~45ยฐC during every summer would be commonplace and it sounds crazy to live there for a long period as a pure desire.
Neutral
Humid Subtropical(Cfa, Cwa) - Summers are definitely bugging and stretches well outside the traditional three-month calendar season especially in more southerly locations but somewhat bearable or at least not the worst type. Pretty acceptable to see there is a reason why it's one of the most populated regions in the world for naturally advantaged in agriculture society.
Mediterranean(Csa) - They get a quite fair reputation and deserved. It is neither greatly spotlighted or neglected.
Humid Continental(Dfa, Dwa, Dfb, Dwb) - Four season lovers love them, cold haters hate them in general.
Subpolar Oceanic(Cfc) - Too chilly summer in the world standard and strong winds are pretty harsh although it's the best climate for late-autumn lovers.
Underrated
Oceanic(Cfb) - I don't really understand why most people depicted the climate as boring or often negatively complained. Cool winters, mild summers(occasional heatwave but tend to last shortly), distributed precipitation are the main characteristics of the climate and less likely to happen in any weather-related natural disaster(relatively speaking about the severe weather; of course flood and gale are not unusual in winter, there's no perfect place) compare to the other climate zones.
Semi-arid(BSh, BSk) - The environment isn't remarkably extreme, often neglected because it's under the same category with desert.

I know hardly anyone (in my country mostly) who hypes up tropical or desert climates. Most hate them. Most people in this country either seem to prefer a Mediterranean type climate or a four season continental type when the topic has come up.
I do think oceanic climates aren't as boring as people in other climates make them out to be, just because they have a narrower temperature range. The weather can certainly be changeable and interesting, as I think the UK's is.

Cfa is underrated. it's notorious for humid summers, but this climate group incorporates some of the nicest climates in the world! Like Buenos Aires, the Pampas, Southern Brazil, Sydney, some parts of South Africa, as well as some places in coastal Japan and Korea

Overrated - Mediterranean, Tropical, or any variation of subtropical.
Underrated - Continental and warmer subarctic climates, but especially continental. People seem to think Chicago or Minneapolis is bitter cold with 9 feet of snow for six months and 110 F with 100% humidity the other six months. Truth is, continental climates do get pleasant weather for a lot of the year. Also, I think highland climates like Breckenridge are underrated as well.
Neutral - Arctic/Tundra climates. They get the bad reputation they deserve. Though, would be interesting to live in one of these types for a year or so.

The general consensus with "normies" tends to be warm/hot climate = good, cool/cold climate = bad. You always see tropical/subtropical climates being glorified by the media and people themselves. |

Overrated:
-Wet climates.
-Boring climatesโtropical, Mediterranean etc.
Underrated:
-Semi-arid
I think thereโs a lot of people who enjoy snow and distinct seasons of continental climates so I wouldnโt say their underrated.
Of course this is based off my preferences so unless you like a stupidly extreme climateโand you actually think you would enjoy those conditions, not just because itโs interesting, I donโt give a fuck if you like rainy climates or boring climates or cold climates or dry climates etc.

I feel like most people in the general population probably prefer something like San Diego or some tropical climate. |

Lots of whiners about summers in places like NYC or Buenos Aires tho. People make it sound like summers in these places are 95F with 90% humidity the entire time. Seems like the climates that are glorified the most are the ones that are 70-75F the entire time |

Continental Cfa/Oceanic Cfa, or something? |

Still, lots of people do glorify climates like Florida (subtropical) or something like Jamaica (tropical). Tbh, I think a lot of people romanticize these type of climates because they have fun whenever they go on vacation there. They associate hot and warmth with "fun". Of course, there's people who genuinely enjoy hot weather, but loads of people move down here because they had fun on some vacation they came down here 15 years ago and think living here will be like that, and are in for a harsh reality check. |

I feel like most people in the general population probably prefer something like San Diego or some tropical climate. I know itโs anecdotal, but my dad isnโt particularly interested in weather but loves our seasons. Also, what a bunch of people who do winter sports and stuff want a snowy winter and a bunch of my friends enjoy the fall colors and the snow. I think a majority of people do prefer a mild climate, but I wouldnโt say continental climate lovers are a large minority of weather enthusiasts. Most of the time here, I notice people complaining about the length of the winter but they enjoy the cold and snow at least in December. |

At least Memphis has a decent cool off for winter though. Much better than down here, that's for sure lol. Memphis can get quite brutal in summer though, and some insane heat waves and warm overnight lows.

Yeah like MIami would be fun for a week in February or March, but having to spend nearly an entire year in humid 85F weather? That sounds like a nightmare. Honestly I wonder why those climates are romanticized so much, while New York and Philly are criticized for hot summers |

In Upstate NY it's not really the severity of the winter that gets you, it's the length. The clouds and the monstrous seasonal lag is what makes it feel so dreadful |

Most of the time here, I notice people complaining about the length of the winter but they enjoy the cold and snow at least in December. True, but people into winter sports do have to somewhat pay attention to what the weather conditions are doing (snow conditions, snow depth, temperature, etc) so I wouldn't necessarily call them the average person. I think the "average person" probably wants the least disruptive weather possible, which would probably be something like San Diego. I would agree among weather enthusiasts liking continental climates isn't a huge minority, but average people seem to think a climate like Chicago, Des Moines, or Minneapolis is a "brutal" climate, mostly because of media hype. |

Many people up here like snow, especially those that know how to ski. Get some here that say they love winter but by the time it's March, they're whining. No one really likes extreme cold, like what we end of December, early January
