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.
