That stupid "To be continued" meme I keep seeing. I don't get it. Why post a "To be continued" on a clip if there's footage after it that actually shows what happens. I can't believe how many notes those stupid posts get.
How dare you.

My first thoughts were clothing trends. I don't understand rompers or crop tops. I also don't understand somewhat recent makeup trends of overdrawing eyebrows and wearing bright or dark lipstick. The two together just scream hooker to me.
There's so many dumb trends but I can't remember most of them since these days a trend only lasts for like a week at most before plummeting into obscurity.
Everybody was suddenly into scooters for a short period in the 90's though. My grandparents got me one because it was the new hip thing and I used it like twice out of obligation...Scooters suck.
And Digimon cards. They didn't last long, but it was pretty much a necessity that every monster based anime had a card game to accompany it.
Is that not the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure thing?
I don't watch the show, but I kinda 'get it' from what a friend described.

there's been a lot, back when i was young everybody was obsessed with these "scoobies" in around 2004 or something, they're kind of similar to loom bands (another trend), except they're long strings. also uggs & tracksuit combination in the 2000s and in 2008/9 or something when everyone here was obsessed with luminous clothing and wore bright luminous tutu's and leggings like something from the 80's. "heelies" are another one that were popular in the early 2000's but i've seen them quite often lately (why?)
also a really awful one, back in like 2005-ish when all the boys would get nike ticks shaved into their hair... like this, just why? people got stars and stuff to but the nike ticks . really? also around the same time when everyone was obsessed with playboy merch but nobody knew what playboy was, like when we were 8 one of my friends had her whole room in playboy merch; bed-sheets, pillows, school bag? and obviously all the weird viral trends recently too, the kyile jenner lip challenge and the don't judge me challenge and whatever else.

Drawing your lips on way bigger than they actually are... I mean come on... We can still see what your natural lips look like! No amount of lip liner, lip stick and concealer will hide that. You look like a drag queen new to wearing makeup.
Also 71 genders jesus christ people.

#cutsforbieber and hashtags in general. I get like labeling something #art or #music and genres etc. but I don't understand when people start making a million hashtags for random stuff and put them on their selfies. Like.. what are you doing.. >.< is it suppose to get your picture more views??

agreed with the 71 genders things, there should only be a handful of genders: Femal, Male, Trans, Nonbinary, fluid, and maybe a few more. Other than those it just puts those people into the "Special Snowflake" category.

That's actually exactly what a million hashtags does. Your pictures are more likely to pop up on a wider range of searches if they're labeled a million different things. Gotta get their daily dose of attention somehow.

Trans isn't really a gender, though. The whole point of being trans is to transition from being male to being female or vice versa. And non-binary shouldn't really be counted as a gender, either. You're basically saying you don't want to be seen as either male or female. You're androgynous and lacking any definitive gender traits. And genderfluid... You change from being male to female depending on how you feel that day? Sorry but that screams "I need attention" because you can't actually expect people to be able to keep up and use your proper gender pronouns when they can change so frequently.

trans isn't a gender but yeah i agree to some extent, like when people are labeling themselves "stargirlflux" “nanogender” "magigender" "aesthegender" and things it kind of upsets me (nothing against nb people at all, you're all cool, this isn't directed at you) and I understand why people do it but as a trans person i get lumped into this category and it actually affects our treatment because nobody will believe us and if you ever mention being trans it's likely you'll get people pop in like "yeah, I sexually identify as an attack helicopter too!" like sure, thanks, thanks a lot, I can imagine that it's even worse for nb people too. People can do what they want, but when people do this **** and put it over the internet, stating that it doesn't hurt anyone, they should be aware that it does in fact negatively affect people (said people who are already highly discriminated against) but I don't really at all get why this affects cis people and why they get so invested in it.

I was literally just watching some on FB lmao. It's a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure joke
As for trends I don't like, probably the dog filter people use when they take pictures. Idk it annoys me. Also the whole 'swag' thing that was really dumb.

I've always wondered, is genderfluid an actual thing? Like people unhappy with their gender do legit exist but are there actually people who feel like their gender changes on a daily basis, like is it scientifically acknowledged?
I guess another trend is that stuff that some small minority of weirdos did at some point on tumblr, like the whole headmates thing or whatever it was. Wonder if it died out.
Oh and dumb words like yolo and swag, ew

Tattoo chokers. I remember those being in 25 cent capsule machines growing up and now they're trendy again? Ew? Also like other people said: huge overdrawn eyebrows. You look ridiculous. Please stop.
