The entirety of Austen's run, but especially anything he wrote involving women, Northstar, wolves, religion or Abyss.
Murder at the Mansion was a real low point of Morrison's very up-and-down run (the ups were wonderful though)
The Princess Diana arc of X-Statix (I accept that wasn't all the writer's fault though)
Sad to say it, but Claremont's run on The Incredible Amazing Psylocke and Five Other Idiots Fix Broken Realities and Say What The Devil(might have been called Exiles, actually)
Anything by Bendis, bar one good Magneto issue.
Victor Grishler's "Vampires are currently the hotness" X-Men book. Loathed every excruciating minute of it.
Mark Millar's Ultimate X-Men.
I'll quote those that have hit the same notes as I
I'll throw in that I didn't enjoy most of the Morrison work except for the building of Jean's character
A good chunk of Claremont's return with Rachel's dino story hitting the hardest
Anything on West Coast X-Men. The art was sometimes the only good points when not Land.
Tischman's Cable (mostly because I hated how they dropped Weinberg)
The 1st volume of Excalibur. Hated it, Warpies, Warwolves, Saturnyne/Sat Ur nine/Coutney, so much annoyance. Still do not understand why people say it was better than the current volume. As it was crap.

IIRC, Young X-Men happened because Kyost could only take on so much comic work in addition to their screenwriting jobs, and they chose to do X-Force alone and drop NXM. NXM was successful enough that editorial wanted to keep a young X-Book going after the Divided We Stand fallout, and Guggs got the gig. I've got no clue why he went with the cast he did, except maybe the fact that they had less following than the spotlight kids from the Weir/ DeFilipis and Kyle/Yost runs meant it was easier to get permission to wreck them (a la Dust and Wolf Cub).
I would never say I hate Excalibur vol. 1, but I do resent it for being the reason Claremont left New Mutants, leading to that series going downhill very fast. The fact that I prefer his work on Uncanny and New Mutants to his work on Excalibur doesn't help.
...there is so much. Don't know where to start. There is so much mediocre bullshit happening in X-Men comics in the last 20 years or so.......
From the top of my head:
Chuck Austen's "Draco" storyline in Uncanny X-Men. Horrible, absolutely horrible!
Most of the stuff Bendis has written for the X-Men...
The Excalibur and Marauders comic books during the Hickman launch last year. Uff, really hated those.

Avengers vs X-Men gives me a new level of cringe every day.
Gold makes me want to punch people. Absolute drivel.
Anything by Bendis, Austen, or Claremont after his initial run.
