Is there any particular hate against 'live, laugh, love' that I am missing, besides the phrase just being a bit cheesy?

It reeks of toxic positivity, its associated with privileged, usually white, usually christian, suburban and boomer wives/moms who get to sit around at home all day, in a home, whilst doing nothing, who often admonish their own children for not being positive and grateful enough, and also invent tons of problems about meaningless bs, while said children have worked far harder than they have, and are more educated than them, but will likely never own a home.

It's plastered all over painted blocks of wood for $40 at mildly up-scale places (or places trying to appear up scale), along with other "gems" of wisdom.

It's not so much the cornyness, but the posh posturing and sheer stupidity of having vapid expressions on expensive blocks of wood.
