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.
