I was thinking about this the other day.. some are unarguably better than others, but I've never had a bad one. Do they exist?
If so, what made it bad to you?

oh my gosh yes. I hate about 50% of IPAs. They can be really way too bitter hoppy that leaves an awful pukey aftertaste, or make your soul cringe.
Too bitter is the main problem for me.

All the time. Hops do cover up flaws and infections pretty well though.
Most bad ones are poorly fermented and are worty tasting with super high finishing gravities. Lots of small breweries lie about abv no one checks it or tests it

Elysian Space Dust IPA is the first one that comes to my mind, and it's widely available in the US. I guess it's still being bought due to being cheaper and strong.

What an ironic title 
I hate all IPAs cause they are bitter and gross! I guess some are better than others (but still gross). But if i had to choose the worst out of all of them, I would go with the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale IPA.
Its fuckin disgusting https://sierranevada.com/beer/pale-ale/
If i had a choice between an IPA and water at a bar, im choosing the water everytime.

You build up a tolerance to the bitterness over time, and actual begin to get a kind of craving for it, similair to spicy food. I think the muscle relaxation of the hops also gets associated with that taste, so more reason to crave it.
I was big into IPAs back when they were hard to find, it was like a 45 minute drive to the nearest bar that had a selection of them. I got into them first for the high ABV, then started really liking the hoppyness. Rarely drink them now, I'm more into heavier brown ales and lagers. IPAs all just taste bitter since Im no longer used to them.
Had lots of bad ones even back when I liked them. Never was a fan of Dogfish 60 minute, the 90 minute was always a go to for me though

I like the bitterness. That was an acquired taste, but I already had a tolerance to it cuz of coffee. What really made me like IPAs is the hoppyness. Really fond of the piney and citrusy ones.

You're weird. Do you drink bud light? Cuz that's basically water. When I went to monster jam, all they served was light beer. I was in hell... I'm at the most red neck sport event ever and my choices are bud light, Miller light and Michelob ultra.. what the fuck.

Is it bitter?
I can tolerant a little bitter but IPAs take it waaaay too far.
Shroomslip. I am weird. Cliantro and parsley tastes like poison to me. My favorite beer is Blue Moon hands down. And Widmer Brothers Hefewiezen on draft.
Light beers are the prefered beer of Monster Truck Fans! Light beers are OK. They taste too much like water.

Its all good. Im a bit of a loner anywayz 
I would theorize that people who hate cilantro also probably hate IPAs as well.
