What do boy bands, short skirts, emo kids, and MySpace all have in common? They are all trends.
Trend: (trěnd) n.
1. The general direction in which something tends to move.
2. A general tendency or inclination.
3. Current style; vogue: the latest trend in fashion.
intr.v. trend·ed, trend·ing, trends
Today we will be using dictionary definition number three. Yeah, point blank, trends are stupid, but just because it's a trend doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Yes, I think Fall Out Boy is a trendy- teenybopper-sellout band but they still have a few good songs. Short skirts are fine with leggings underneath, some of my best friends are "emo" kids, and I also have a MySpace. Just because I follow a trend doesn't make me some mindless zombie. Just like most people I think trends are stupid, but I don't like things because other people like them. I have a brain and I like what I like. If everyone started liking AFI I'm still gonna like them. Whether or not the "cool kids" think it's lame. If everyone became a Christian I'm NOT going to convert to atheism.
Basically, this has no point at all, I just wanted to say that, anti-conformity is also a trend, and by you thinking that trends are stupid you are being a hypocrite because you have become a trend yourself.
Urban dictionary definition:
"2. Trend- A religon that attention-seeking highschoolers worship as an effort to mask the fact that they are worthless nobodys that will never have a life."
F.Y.I. for posting that, you have become a follower of anti-conformity, join the club, not only are you a mindless zombie, but you are now a wannabe trendsetter.
