There are philosophical as well as cultural answers to this question. Philosophically it was originally a question of living a harmonious life by avoiding excesses and accepting what you are clearly not able to change: the easy life of the mind. Utilitarianism has been termed hedonistic because it stresses that pleasure is not only worth striving for, but the ONLY thing worth striving for (giving a second priority to values such as justice and truthfulness). Today hedonism has the popular connotations of seeking to have as good a time as possible without being led astray by social norms, bourgesois morality or conscience. I believe it is a misunderstanding of the word, but most footage on YouTube with 'hedonism', 'hedonist' and 'hedonistic' in the titles are X-rated.

No, Kant does not agree with hedonism. Kant's ethical theory is based on the idea of duty and moral law, rather than seeking pleasure or avoiding pain as hedonism suggests.

He argued that a life devoted to seeking pleasure is shallow and fails to achieve true happiness or fulfillment. Plato believed that the sophists' emphasis on hedonism detracted from the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom, which he considered essential for leading a good and meaningful life.
