What Trend Died So Fast, That You Can Hardly Call It a Trend?
It seems like there are constantly new "trends" that are supposedly happening everywhere . . . and they're spreading like WILDFIRE thanks to social media.
But some of those trends seem to disappear just as quickly as they arrived, and are less like a wildfire and more like a MATCH when you're trying to light birthday candles. (???)
Someone recently asked the internet, "What 'trend' died so fast, that you can hardly call it a trend?" Here are some of the best responses:
1. Back in the '90s, when some kids were walking around with pacifiers in their mouths and hanging around their necks.
2. When the poo emoji was on everything . . . clothes, toys, and even treats.
3. (And) when there were mustaches on everything.
4. "Gangnam Style" by Psy. Sure, there will ALWAYS be one-hit wonders . . . but this one seems to have completely disappeared.
5. Flash mobs.
6. Anything from Spencer's . . . selfie sticks, fidget spinners, and salt lamps.
7. Backwards clothes a-la Kris Kross.
8. Planking. Also, "Tebowing."
9. Segways. And "hover" boards.
10. The Flappy Bird game.
11. The '90s had some unexpected music trends . . . there was swing music . . . and the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos were rock stars for a minute.
12. NFTs.
13. Google Glass. And Google+.
14. LiveStrong bracelets.
15. Whatever that "very mindful, very demure" thing was a few weeks ago.
