Personally, I think they're just fads. Nothing really different about them when you compare to other fads. It's just that they're fads that you don't find appealing. | |
Fads are like flowers new ones pop up every so often and if you don't pay any attention to them they wither and die. So just ignore them or scream at anyone whom indulges in said fads. | |
The fads today are the same as the fads of yesterday. Stop caring so much. | |
Ponder this: At one point, a lot of the people writing on the escapist were utterly fascinated with the idea, that either: A) There was a school of witches and wizards out there named hogwarts B) New species of creatures existed that could be trained to fight in sanctioned UFC style battles, with elemental powers, psychic powers and more. They were captivated I tells ya! Captivated! | |
At least the second one is still going | |
Not where I live. | |
Well, I don't have much to say about 'lolspeak' in actual conversations, but... Why is it necessary for almost every person in my school to dress with their pants like this?! I mean, his back pockets are almost past his thighs! | |
It's so it's easier to stick their hands in their boxers. I wish I was kidding. I was walking around town and I saw a guy dressed like the above picture with both his hands just stuck down his trousers. If you hands are that cold, wear some fucking gloves. | |
I think they're like pet rocks, except not cool. | |
The good thing(s) about fads is: 1) If you don't want to partake, it'll be gone next year (usually). The bad thing about fads is: 1) Some of them never go away. | |
nd you can't kill a pet rock, the jonas brothers are open game. | |
If you ignore them they will eventually go away, or become so obscure and lame people will cease to acknowledge them. | |
True, but I'm kinda lazy. I will allow their existence as long as they don't preform on my front lawn. | |
I couldn't care less about fads, I only want something that I know will be around for a long time. Like AC/DC or Aerosmith, twilight may not be a fad, it could be around for a long time but we'll see. | |
Perform? That's the word you use for it? | |
Obviously I meant hurl feces. | |
Oh, I should have known. My mistake. | |
All kids have fads. you had them when you were growing up. | |
I'm growing up now. I don't get this shit. | |
I think these modern fads might just be what we call, a fad (look it up if you don't know the defenition). | |
When I was 10-12 it was all about Pokemon for the guys and the girls all loved N*SYNC and the Backstreet Boys. I never understood what was so amazing about some group of guys singing, but then again they never understood what was so "cool" about Pokemon. As for right now, Twilight will fade due to the epic fail that will be the movie coming out in theaters tomorrow. The books are supposedly fantastic reads, however, when my girlfriend tried reading them, she told me they were nothing but carbon copies of other books with vampires thrown in. The Jonas Brothers are the equivalent of the boy bands of my generation, no comment on it really. They're "hot", or so the ladies say, and by ladies I mean 12 year olds. They're just fads, you don't have to understand them or take part in them. Let them have their fun and be on their way. | |
well, most of the fads you listed seem to be chiefly girl fads. you're not really supposed to find them enthralling if you're a guy. it's certainly a girl fad era | |
I normally don't notice fads until they're almost gone. No lie. I'm also the last person to know anything about anything. I didn't exactly know who Hannah Montana was until last month. Not saying she's nearly finished or anything (not that I would mind), I'm just illustrating my point. | |
"So then I was like, lol, twilight is even better when you read it to the jonas brothers playing in the backround, then I suddenenly loled!!!"
"I know, right?"
Allright, I know the acual(cant spell) saying of internet acronyms is old, but shit, what is with all these annoying new fads? The jonas brothers, I know right, and twilight(to an extent high school musical, but not so much in my age group), What the hell? Is this what the world has come to? Is this really all we have to do anymore? listen to horrible music and read horrible books? It makes me sick. What do you all thing of these modern fads?
