Worst fad of all time

[Ante Bellum]

I want to take the time to mention Jaws 3D. Not that I've seen it, but I've seen a review...
How about Webkinz? Oh yeah, buy an expensive stuffed animal for a limited membership to a website!
Also, when they bring BACK fads. Mom pointed out that a store was now selling leg warmers...

It seems that I misunderstood your statement. I thought that you were saying that it was bad for movies in the collective sense. As in, "3D makes all movies terrible", not "3D is ruining specific movies".

I did mean it in a collective sense. Though I suppose I probably shouldn't, admittedly. I guess 3D won't become standard for ALL movies any more than CG has become standard for all movies. I can't imagine that say, they'd make a movie like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 3D, because there'd really be no need for it, same as there wouldn't be any need to put CG in it.

I'm still worried about it becoming standard for action movies though.

I hate the current emo/goth/scene fad going on. I hope to high heaven that people will see how stupid they look before they're adults.

ummmmmmmmm

True goths never "grow out of it." Those that have been and "grew out of it" are/were nothing but posers and make it appear a fad. They also flock to every goth stereotype ever invented and exploit and flaunt them. Those people are the ones that look stupid being goth.

One can be a goth without piercings and having metaled up pants and purplish hair and the whiteface with dark mascara and lipstick. It's all a state of mind.

(and there's goths of every belief and faith out there too)

Never been born in East Germany and sacked Rome in 238 AD?

Then you don't know jack about being a Goth.

not that type of Goth silly Nate

....silly silly silly silly......

[Htom Sirveaux]

Nate, I think it's safe to say we pretty much all share your sentiment on the movie thing. Though I actually would be rather interested in seeing One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 3D. I just wanna see the scene towards the end where the big Indian guy chucks the drinking fountain out the window. It'd be great to see that thing thrown at the audience.

Silly Bandz I don't really have anything against, since I rarely even see them. In fact I think the only time I have is one Sunday morning when I played with my church's worship band and the leader passed out Silly Bandz for the band (I guess there was a pun in there somewhere). So that was just good fun, really.

Speaking of Webkinz, there was a point in my little stepsister's life...ohhh, I'd say a year or two ago (three at the max) where she had seventy of them. Seriously. It still mildly upsets me thinking about it.

Yeah... that was my point...

What the is a "true" goth even supposed to be? I dunno. Labels like that are kinda silly. I don't want to be known as a "true" not-goth- just as me.

[Mithrandir]

This thread makes me feel old. The first thing I thought of was Disco, followed by Greasers and roller-rinks. >.>

[Blacklight]

I realy had forgotton about Webkinz... or Scamkinz may be a better name for it, or maybe Webconz... not to mention the billion other stuffed animals being sold that do about the exact same thing.
My sisters are obsessed with them.

Also, why is EVERYONE wearing low rise skinny jeans?

I find gladiator sandals very... weird-looking.

So many popular things today that prove everyone's insane.

Really, the worst fad is trying to follow fads... trendiness just blinds me now. 0_0

(Side note: I am in total agreement with Shao Feng-Li and Psycho Molos' point.)

[Cognitive Gear]

Most of these will speak for themselves.



Hammer Pants.



Leg warmers.



Shutter glasses.

And the king of terrible fads:



Mullets.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Yeah, mullets were pretty bad. Rat-tail mullets were the worst and the sad thing is you still see them creepy around, sucking on the life-essence of some poor kid's head.
MC Hammer pants are both ugly and hilarious fun.

[Radical Dreamer]

Mullets.

Ah, yes. Mullets. XD Well, I see you your mullet and raise you...


...this.

[ShiroiHikari]

What is that thing on her head?

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

A striped marmot maybe?

[PrincessZelda]

Hey, don't knock striped marmots. I wear those all the time.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

They exist? I just pulled that out of thin air. I thought marmots were similar to lemurs, but smaller and creepy looking. Must've mixed them up.

[Bobtheduck]

The scene look is... It's the terrible '80s come to life again. Only one good thing to come from the '80s...




Me.

[firestorm]

I remember when going outside was popular, then that quickly got trumped by another fad... I think they called it the innernet or something. Geez I'm glad those things went out of style.. Oh the mail came through the door yay! *goes to get mail*

[TheSubtleDoctor]

I think girls believe that these make any outfit better. They don't.

Also, all the Crocs haters, you simply fail to recognize their cultural significance (see 2:15).

[Nate]

Also, why is EVERYONE wearing low rise skinny jeans?

I don't know but that's one fad that can stay as far as I'm concerned!

[Shao Feng-Li]

I don't know but that's one fad that can stay as far as I'm concerned!

Even when the "guys" are wearing them?

Oh man, that chick makes me rage inside. If you have to work at being unique and edgy and whatnot, then you've just failed. Who needs personality when you can buy one at the mall.

/rage

[ShiroiHikari]

Low-rise skinny jeans are the bane of my existence. I have a big lower body, so to speak, and they make me look and feel terrible. Unfortunately they're the only freaking jeans I can find anywhere so I'm still wearing old beat-up jeans until this fad passes.

[Makachop^^128]

Also, why is EVERYONE wearing low rise skinny jeans?

I like skinnys >.> I like the crazy colored ones :3

[goldenspines]

Also, why is EVERYONE wearing low rise skinny jeans?

I find gladiator sandals very... weird-looking.

*is not EVERYONE* O:
I share the same trouble Shiroi does concerning jeans. Plus, skinny jeans just fit and feel weird. Like overly heavy tights. o.O I don't mind them being in stores for people who like them, but for them to be the majority choice, that's not cool. :\

Also, some types of gladiator sandals are cool.

I want to save this quote and use it later. <3

Shutter glasses.

I saw these in Thailand a few years back and was tempted to buy them because I thought they were only popular over there. But then it turns out people are wearing them in the US too. I was disappointed. 8(
And in those bright colors, they are terrifying. XD

Where I live no one wears them >.> To be honest I find skinnys really comfortable :3 I'm not really in to baggier pants because they don't fit me well at all, But I must say I HATE normal or skinny blue jeans. They are boring. I like color or something other then just normal blue jeans.

XD I don't know, I was just joking

Whatever it is, it's not moving now!

Ugg boots were never designed to be worn in public. They were designed to keep your feet warm within the privacy of your own home, or that of friend's. Please don't blame Australians for fashions mistakes.

Ugg. Short for Ugly!
