Guys should I watch the Fate series? It looks like edgelord garbage to me but I'm open to your thoughts.

It is edgelord garbage, but it's worth a watch like Re:Zero to learn all the memes and waifu bait or else you won't be able to hang with the cool kids.

It has some pretty cringeworthy lines.

Yes! It's one of my favorites in the dark fantasy genre.
I actually rewatched it all recently after seeing the original Fate/stay night for the first time.
I'd recommend watching in this order:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/10087/Fate_Zero
https://myanimelist.net/anime/11741/Fate_Zero_2nd_Season
https://myanimelist.net/anime/27821/Fate_stay_night__Unlimited_Blade_Works_-_Prologue
https://myanimelist.net/anime/22297/Fate_stay_night__Unlimited_Blade_Works
https://myanimelist.net/anime/28701/Fate_stay_night__Unlimited_Blade_Works_2nd_Season
https://myanimelist.net/anime/6922/Fate_stay_night_Movie__Unlimited_Blade_Works
https://myanimelist.net/anime/356/Fate_stay_night
I haven't seen Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, so I can't comment on that one.
There's also Carnival Phantasm, a parody series I would only recommend to Fate fans.
Incidentally:
Thank you kind sir, this has really explained things and I will be staying far, far away from this rubbish.

Dude, really? You're going to disregard something just because you saw a few links? Fate/Zero is especially awesome. I increased my rating to 9/10 upon watching it again recently because I enjoyed it so much. The others aren't quite as good but still have so many epic moments.

Is Fate that type/moon franchise with all the weird ass lines comparing sex to mollusks or some ****? Cause yeah, that's some whacked, whacked **** LOL. I watched an ep of Fate/Zero awhile back but couldn't get more than 20 minutes in. It looked nice but I was honestly bored out of my mind.
Seems like it. I'm down for comparing sex to mollusks but not if it's pretentious edgy garbage.

*sigh* Fate/Zero is one of the best anime I have ever seen. I'm sick of people who have never seen it writing it off. And I don't remember any lines like that. Perhaps it was in the visual novels, not the anime.
Always a pleasure!
I see it as my duty to protect this world from bad series like this (gathering these links took me almost an hour...copy/paste links from google is not something many are capable of!).
I could tell, that was so kind of you to go through all of that trouble. Head-fi's post editor can be a pain too with long posts or lots of links so I know much effort was put in and I appreciate it!

For those who are paying attention to others' opinions, here are the MAL rankings.
Fate/Zero 1st season: ranked #94; popularity #42
Fate/Zero 2nd season: ranked #39; popularity #73
Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] 1st season: ranked #138; popularity #132
Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] 2nd season: ranked #132; popularity #213
Fate/stay night: ranked #1,325; popularity #61
With the exception of the oldest one, that's all fairly high, out of thousands of other anime.
