      its complete trash and dont understand why people seem to love it so much but its huge.

      back when we stil cared, the fact that it was complete trash was why we loved it.
      We looked forward to a bunch of people wearing tinfoil suits performing the most eurodance song you could imagine.
      Or polish girls pointlessly churning butter and washing clothes on stage in an oversexualized fashion.
      Or one of the most epic sax performances.
      Or just Lordi being Lordi

      Particularly, because the ESC was always commented by a radio moderator named Peter Urban who would make the snarkiest remarks about any perfomers.
      No one I know cares about the “serious” performances. Every year, we wait for the ridiculous, over-the-top, pointless performances. Very rarely does the ESC produce an actually good song.
