You should specify on which openings you believe are garbage.

Garbage openings are fun
Why should anyone stop playing garbage openings? It makes it much easier to win a game if somebody plays something foolish like 1. f4... 
Seriously though, just relax about it, it doesn't matter if people play useless openings, they will eventually learn better.
why would u play f4 to get the dutch as white lol
They are only garbage if you lose while playing it. Unless you lost to a "garbage opening," there is nothing for you to lose when you play a garbage opening. So you should want these openings to be played against you if you can beat them. But if you lose to them, they aren't garbage.
f4 is called the bird's opening noob

I disagree about garbage openings. A person studys his entire life for d4 openings. How is c3 for white so bad when that person has never seen it before.
People read too much into masters games and in openings in general.

The person who mentioned f4 was presumably jesting with those who play it. It is actually a respectable opening.

Would you consider Alekhine's defense a garbage opening? I use it all the time in blitz games because people don't know how to counter it.
I thought he was talking about Gararbe's set of openings, which came about at the introduction of algebraic notation. Herbert Gararbe realized that the chess board was not limited to real squares but could be placed on imaginary, and even complex, squares. Here is one of his openings:
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4i

Slight correction - Herbert Gararbe (04/01/1922 - 02/15/1953) created the opening that now bears his name: 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4i#, thus solving the game of chess. Only days after the publication of his amazing find, Gararbe disappeared and was never seen or heard from again. After an extensive search, Gararbe was presumed dead with speculation of foul play. Indeed, after two years without a trace, Herbert Gararbe was pronounced legally dead, leaving only the chess opening as testament to his genius.
2 Bc4 is not mate. That's my correction.

I had someone make 12 pawn moves in the first 14 moves. That is a garbage opening.
I had another opponent try to mirror every move I made. Must have thought he was being cute. Also garbage.
I beat both players. But it was like I was playing some different kind of silly game -- not chess. These were not recognized opening systems (like Bird's).

Playing against so-called garbage openings is fun. It leads to original positions and, oddly enough, simply following sound principles generally isn't enough to ensure a win. Rather than just making rote moves, usually I have to think and plan more and earlier, and not always successfully.
