Are there still emos?just vamps, actually.
Snap music.
Also how being a thin feminine nerd with square framed glasses and fappy hair who wears girls jeans is somehow considered cool.
I don't know why emo's make you angry, dude. Trends are trends, I think you're jealous that you'll continue to be a virgin until the fall of mankind while some emo kid is banging your sister. Honestly, I don't see how it makes you angry unless you have friends who are into that sort of thing or you see some guy with 4 chicks and you wish it was you, but then you wake up on gw with baby drool and one single tear falls from your eye.
It's like taking something that you wear, or that you're into, and then ranting about it like it's some big deal.
:welp:
HAAHA DONT TRY JUSTIFY EMO CULTURE its retarded and makes you look like crybaby dork.
im not jealous because every emo i know is universally hated! I dont know one cool emo, not one!
crocs = yes.How could anyone like crocs? They looked SHIT.
crocs = yes.crocs, uggs, and CRUGGS are the fucking worst. i dont know which i hate more.
whinnie the poo... eugh hate so much. is this a fad?
these threads make me so angry- addictions, bad fads, vidoes that piss you off... we need happier threads. i think i'll start one that is "what other than rainbows and bunnies make you feel warm and fluffy inside?".
ps. is it just me but i always thought tft is an emo (i dont really know why but i always got this picture)... explains him defending themhes definitely a hipster!
ps. is it just me but i always thought tft is an emo (i dont really know why but i always got this picture)... explains him defending themI agree. That's what I thought too.

I think we're lucky enough not to have crocs here, at least I've never seen (nor heard of) them anywhere at all in the country.Have you not been to the coast in like ten years? Have you not been out in summer at all? Crocs are really really common dude.
ps. is it just me but i always thought tft is an emo (i dont really know why but i always got this picture)... explains him defending themYeah, same, actually... Must be the avatar or something? Or maybe he just plain is? I don't know...
jesus christ did i fall into 2004 and suddenly emo hate is relevant again?yeah i hadn't heard this shit brought up recently
their music and clothes and attitude sucks, but most of you have shitty music clothes and attitude FOR FUCKS SAKE IM WEARING SWEATPANTS.
plus emo shit isn't even relevant past the age of 21 and if you're going to bitch about kids take a step back and realize kids ok.
lolI think we still have a few people around here complaining about the athiest fad. Didn't Marcus start something up about it recently?
also you're kidding about the 'green movement'. yeah some people get kind of ridiculous with it but really can you find something more benign to hate
and now I remember 2003 when you'd have people coming in here (this is the type of thread people would create back then) and trying to start a fight about the 'atheist fad'
I thought emo music was stuff like fallout boy and blink 182, not porcupine tree
steel i don't get that post. what are you trying to say there that we shouldnt criticize fads because were all dirty hypocrites or something?
you're wrong in two ways in this post, that's not emo and the point is gw saying UGH EMOS when we're not five years removed from being furious dream theater fans and whenever panda makes a topic it falls to the bottom but NEW PORCUPINE TREE gets like 10 replies in a day is pretty stupid.
none of this shit is worth a second thought. crocs? okay, college kids are aggressively stupid retards who will buy a stick with chewed gum on it if you can convince them it's cool, this has never been different. the green movement? really? the fact people are trying to be environmentally conscious, however misguided in their efforts, is something you hate? EMOS? who runs into a fucking emo kid anymore? are you all just hanging out at the mall with a pack of cigarettes in one sleeve of your t shirt with a handlebar mustache going "heh, kids these damn days"?
the whole point of fads is how fleeting they are, and unless they have a longlasting negative impact, like Ayn Rand's objectivist institutes that to this day give schools free books to indoctrinate kids into libertarianism or how hiphop's gangster culture has been coopted from a legitimate identity to a character made for album sales, I don't hold an opinion on POGS and the like.
fads are by nature defined both for a generic idiot customer and to be fleeting. I don't walk around with HATRED for anything so transitory unless it directly affects me and like TFT said unless an emo kid jacked your girlfriend, they aren't doing anything and all kids are stupid trash anyways.
I don't know why emo's make you angry, dude. Trends are trends, I think you're jealous that you'll continue to be a virgin until the fall of mankind while some emo kid is banging your sister. Honestly, I don't see how it makes you angry unless you have friends who are into that sort of thing or you see some guy with 4 chicks and you wish it was you, but then you wake up on gw with baby drool and one single tear falls from your eye.Spoken like..AN EMO!!!!! Why the fuck does every problem in my life have to do with jealousy? Does everyone think I'm just jealous that i'm not a little rat who could die from a heart attack if you poked them with a marshmellow? Seriously ever think I just hate them because there annoying?
It's like taking something that you wear, or that you're into(welp, he's wearing a button up with flames on it, talk about a total faggot), and then ranting about it like it's some big deal.
:welp:
ok but some fads are more abhorent then othersThey're all useless wastes of time/whatever and I don't really see any being worse than others, and quite a bit of the shit people will complain about aren't exactly fads.
I hate trains that arrive late and the connecting train leaves before they arrive at the station causing me to wait another hour due to their shoddy service. What a terrible fad that is.
probably the same minority as the very few people who don't hate peta (it was proven by Dr. Vermeer Bush in the 1995 study into animal cruelty that Peta are in actual fact a race of troll-like creatures, and are therefore not people!)Why haven't the authorities put a stop to Peta, there orginization as they called it have killed people to save animal lifes, which they have no authority to do. I'm going to go find a Peta petition forum and post a vid of me eating steak.
How about Yo-yos that made a comeback in the early 00's for about six months. That kinda thing is a fad.
Hahaha, oh god. I bought a new yo-yo like every week! And then went to my friends CHECK OUT MY NEW YO-YO and never used them ever again.Oh man those digimon things were awsome.
Also of this era: Tamagotchis. They were like the FUCKING AWESOME Digimon things, except you couldn't do crazy battles or use 'cheat codes' to get a teddybearmon. Those digimon battling things pretty much took over my school for well over a year, and quite rightly so. If I left it at home my mum would go crazy trying to keep it alive (knowing I would tantrum for weeks if it died!)
I thought emo music was stuff like fallout boy and blink 182, not porcupine tree
No you didn't. BLINK-182 IS NOT FUCKING EMO.you should visit the music forum we have lots of open-minded members there
Thank you. It's punk rock/rock/alternative/a million other things but it's not emo.
Blink-182 ROCKS. :fogetrockon:
Spoken like..AN EMO!!!!! :argh: Why the fuck does every problem in my life have to do with jealousy? Does everyone think I'm just jealous that i'm not a little rat who could die from a heart attack if you poked them with a marshmellow? Seriously ever think I just hate them because there annoying?
speaking of emos, steel let's do a gw fashion swat 2008. it's been a while!!that shit was really gay and made you look like dicks btw
What the fuck is a croc and a ugg? And a college brah?
You caught me. I follow the EMO coven.
Oh god, remember the 'Converse' craze. Especially pink ones, or more specifically pink laced ones.i don't think converse have been out of style since like the 70s
No you didn't. BLINK-182 IS NOT FUCKING EMO.
Thank you. It's punk rock/rock/alternative/a million other things but it's not emo.
Blink-182 ROCKS. :fogetrockon:
the NES (what was with that new one that was on sale a couple years ago?
Not sure if this is a fad, but I just hate fucking Chuck Norris jokes. "wow he can do every impossible act in the world now lets tell all my friends all my hilarious jokes!"It's one of the longest running and lame fads ever. I wish people would get over Chuck Norris, it was funny at first...
I haven't heard a Chuck Norris joke in about a year, I thought that shit was done with?dont you live with friends
Although when I told my dumb fucking roommates that I hated Dodgeball they said "EVEN THE CHUCK NORRIS PART???"
I'm tired of seeing people abbreviating modifiers. It's p. painful to read.
Well, fuck you, too. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck this whole city and everyone in it. Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back. Fuck the squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking job! Fuck the Sikhs and the Pakistanis bombing down the avenues in decrepit cabs, curry steaming out their pores, stinking up my day. Terrorists in fucking training. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! Fuck the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped up biceps. Going down on each other in my parks and on my piers, jingling their dicks on my Channel 35. Fuck the Korean grocers with their pyramids of overpriced fruit and their tulips and roses wrapped in plastic. Ten years in the country, still no speaky English? Fuck the Russians in Brighton Beach. Mobster thugs sitting in cafés, sipping tea in little glasses, sugar cubes between their teeth. Wheelin' and dealin' and schemin'. Go back where you fucking came from! Fuck the black-hatted Chassidim, strolling up and down 47th street in their dirty gabardine with their dandruff. Selling South African apartheid diamonds! Fuck the Wall Street brokers. Self-styled masters of the universe. Michael Douglas, Gordon Gekko wannabe mother fuckers, figuring out new ways to rob hard working people blind. Send those Enron assholes to jail for FUCKING LIFE! You think Bush and Cheney didn't know about that shit? Give me a fucking break! Tyco! Worldcom! Fuck the Puerto Ricans. 20 to a car, swelling up the welfare rolls, worst fuckin' parade in the city. And don't even get me started on the Dom-in-i-cans, 'cause they make the Puerto Ricans look good. Fuck the Bensonhurst Italians with their pomaded hair, their nylon warm-up suits, their St. Anthony medallions, swinging their, Jason Giambi, Louisville slugger, baseball bats, trying to audition for the Sopranos. Fuck the Upper East Side wives with their Hermes scarves and their fifty-dollar Balducci artichokes. Overfed faces getting pulled and lifted and stretched, all taut and shiny. You're not fooling anybody, sweetheart! Fuck the uptown brothers. They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take five steps on every lay-up to the hoop. And then they want to turn around and blame everything on the white man. Slavery ended one hundred and thirty seven years ago. Move the fuck on! Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus violating plungers and their 41 shots, standing behind a blue wall of silence. You betray our trust! Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants. Fuck the church that protects them, delivering us into evil. And while you're at it, fuck JC! He got off easy! A day on the cross, a weekend in hell, and all the hallelujahs of the legioned angels for eternity! Try seven years in fuckin' Otisville, J! Fuck Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and backward-ass, cave-dwelling, fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fuel fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal Irish ass! Fuck Jacob Elinsky, whining malcontent. Fuck Francis Xavier Slaughtery my best friend, judging me while he stares at my girlfriend's ass. Fuck Naturelle Riviera, I gave her my trust and she stabbed me in the back, sold me up the river, fucking bitch. Fuck my father with his endless grief, standing behind that bar sipping on club sodas, selling whisky to firemen, cheering the Bronx bombers. Fuck this whole city and everyone in it. From the row-houses of Astoria to the penthouses on Park Avenue, from the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho. From the tenements in Alphabet City to the brownstones in Park slope to the split-levels in Staten Island. Let an earthquake crumble it, let the fires rage, let it burn to fucking ash and then let the waters rise and submerge this whole rat-infested place.
I HAVE TO ESCORT MY WIFE TO HER FRIENDS HOUSE FOR BRIDGE NIGHT BECAUSE SHE"S AFRAID SHE'LL GET RAPED BY THOSE WILD JUNGLE PEOPLE
dont you live with friends
Do you guys remember crocs?My GF wears pink Crocs and she's a hot stick :woop:
I mean, I really don't have a reason for hating them except I associate them with fat ass people and they look really really really really reaally bad.
Not sure if this is a fad, but I just hate fucking Chuck Norris jokes. "wow he can do every impossible act in the world now lets tell all my friends all my hilarious jokes!"Chuck Norris does not Blend.
Custom ring tones bother me too.My ringtones are from ancient games nobody has ever heard of. I take pride knowing nobody knows but me :rolleyes:
-Homosexualism (I respect homosexuals, in almost every possible way. But being homosexual just for pure fashion it's way too fucked up)
i find it hard to translate my standards into real life conversation, too. like, when i say i've got problems with judd apatow films even if they can be funny people assume it's cos i don't like all that swearing and sex talk. and apart from that it's just weird when i discover someone who i moments before thought was a savvy and witty person has the entire series boxset of friends. i generally just ignore it cos who wants to live like that? but it's weird having stuff i've been like puking all over pop up in real life where people haven't spent far too much time thinking about itgod I know the feeling. Its amazing and also disappointing how uninteresting some people really are when you take a little time to get to know them lol
god I know the feeling. Its amazing and also disappointing how uninteresting some people really are when you take a little time to get to know them lolYou're gay. Those shows are pretty awesome...."Two and a half men" is, anyhow. I haven't seen the other two in a while.
its like when I discovered that one of my suitemates's evenings revolve around what television shows are on, but I'm not talking about someone who has a pet obsession with a show on the food network or something, this guy religiously watches Everybody Loves Raymond, 2 and a Half Men, King of Queens etc. just absolute garbage. and he sits there and laughs his ass off at these shows. It is really an incredible thing to observe. I really want to know what his deal is and how someone would get to the point where they think this shit is hilarious.
I agree, they always seem to come back in some manner; things like Transformers, the NES (what was with that new one that was on sale a couple years ago?), this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI), etc.
two and a half men is the worst shit ever, moving on,
two and a half men is the worst shit ever, moving on,You're also gay. You could at least say why you think so.
i've never heard so many laugh tracks before in my life, seriouslyThis doesn't really mean that the show is bad, anyway.
if a show were composed entirely of laugh tracks i could see your pointDo you seriously think that someone laughs at a part in a show BECAUSE of a laugh track? Unless you can't think for yourself, then you know when to laugh at something and when not to; i.e. when you think something is funny or not.
however any show that needs laugh tracks to tell the audience when something is funny is probably not that great
having said that you have the average american sense of humor i guess since those shows continue to exist
good job being average and not iconoclastic like me
I haven't heard a Chuck Norris joke in about a year, I thought that shit was done with?
Although when I told my dumb fucking roommates that I hated Dodgeball they said "EVEN THE CHUCK NORRIS PART???"
then why do they use laugh tracks.
however any show that needs laugh tracks to tell the audience when something is funny is probably not that greatHow many really need it, as opposed to the producers or w/e wanting to put them in there because they feel that they have to tell the audience when to laugh and when not to, even though it's not at all neccessary rendering their existance as completely useless?
Laugh tracks are magical, they make everything you add them to funnyThis is certainly not true at all.
So, there is a great chance that most shows that use them aren't really funny
Yes but it was a joke so it doesn't countYeah, you say that now...
The laugh tracks are the only way you know that the show is even suppose to be funny. You take them away and it just looks really cheesy.Two and Half Men, or any show? Because you do know that movies do not use laugh tracks...
The laugh track was a big debate, they (the Kroffts) said they didn't want to do it, but with my experience with night-timers, night-time started using laugh tracks, and it becomes a staple, because the viewer watches the program and there's a big laugh every time because of the laugh track, and then when you see a show that's funny and there's no laugh because of no laugh track, it becomes a handicap, so I convinced them of that. Good or bad.
"Why a laugh track?" Scheimer asked. "Because you feel that you are watching the program with a group of people instead of being alone"
anyone remember yomega?holy shit i forgot all about these
i was like thirteen and i begged my mom to buy me this yo-yo, this...yomega. it had like BOOST STABILIZERS and TRANSAXLE ROTOR CLUTCHING or some shit and was way too expensive for a yo-yo.
here, learn how to do the cat's cradle, kid. don't worry, this rope will never twist ever because each yomega rope is sprayed with anti-snarling starch.
:words:What i'm really trying to say is that even though a show has them, doesn't mean that it really needs it and is actually bad because of it.
two and a half men is so terrible that my brother watches it. He has the worst taste in TV and films ever.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369179/awards
awardds...Since when does just calling something terrible without something supporting it really mean anything at all?
since when has popular meant good? *listens to blink182
What i'm really trying to say is that even though a show has them, doesn't mean that it really needs it and is actually bad because of it.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369179/awards
Look at some of the awards it's been nominated for and won. It can't be too bad after all.
EDIT: Anyways...moving on. Can't shit up the whole topic with this debate.
Here are the only Two and a Half Men jokes:Uhh....not at all. Anyways, I think we can drop this now.
Charlie Sheen is a whore.
The other guy is a pathetic loser.
The kid is fat and dumb.
Repeat for 200 episodes.
I am not exaggerating when I say that 99% of the lines of dialogue in Two and a Half men are followed by laugh tracks. And for that 1%, the very next line will be followed by a loud enough laugh track to make up for the loss.That doesn't prove it's an awful show, what don't you understand? Laugh tracks are nuisances, but they don't make a show terrible. Oh, and you still aren't giving any reasons why it's bad besides "laugh tracks".
I don't know how this isn't proof by itself that its' an awful show. Even if there was something vaguely appealing about that show, it would be ruined by the laugh track. Luckily it's bad enough on its own.
how does one define something as bad when every aspect of it is horrible? it operates on completely unrealistic characters like a child who is JUST SO DAMN PRECOCIOUS and a jingle writer who lives with his brother who is a chiropractor (did they have a wheel in which they had WACKY CAREERS and rolled those two, a maid who is mean and spiteful and yet is somehow lovable, a woman who jumps from her patio to theirs and is stalking the jingle writer, the whole thing reeks of "if it's random enough, we can make people think it's funny". dialogue is stilted and exactly like the sample I gave above, per all shitty sitcoms nothing real ever happens to any of these characters, and all the laughter is from not so witty dialogue or funny faces, why don't you tell us why it's not like a hundred other shitty sitcoms instead of asking us repeatedly to retread why it is.First of all, I don't really watch other sitcoms so I can't COMPARE IT. The woman doesn't stalk him anymore, she's no longer in the episodes. There was an episode that featured her a little while after she moved, which was pretty good. I don't know why you think that the show is trying to sell off randomness, but the characters each have their own place in the show and this isn't an example of actually being truly random. Also, people never really watch sitcoms for character development, where have you been? If this is what you meant by "nothing real ever happens to these characters", then you can watch over time how the lives of the characters do in fact change a little bit? Either way, sitcoms aren't notorious for their intricate storylines but their ability to set the characters into quirky situations, and I think the show does a good job of this. Each episode has it's own interesting scenario that's written out in a witty way.
*walks out wearing some kind of QUIRKY underpants*What are you talking about? You're example isn't funny, neither are you, and I don't see any sort of correlation at all.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
so we've got one guy arguing that a garbage sitcom is somehow defensible and another one arguing that smoking (5000 BC), drinking (7000 BC) and drug abuse (8000 BC) are all fads.That's right....i've got you speechless sucker. :fogetfingerwag:
I know what a fad is.. its something you do because everyone else is. And your point is?No, a fad is something that's temporarily fashionable. You're talking about peer pressure.
What are you talking about? You're example isn't funny, neither are you, and I don't see any sort of correlation at all.
no way people were abusing drugs before they were drinking?man no one wants to argue with you about your dumb sitcom, everyone's just making jokes and you're all *raises eyebrows* "well, heh, not necessarily"
No, a fad is something that's temporarily fashionable. You're talking about peer pressure.
man no one wants to argue with you about your dumb sitcom, everyone's just making jokes and you're all *raises eyebrows* "well, heh, not necessarily"
idk hoping for a lock in the near future :)
Yea your right, its still really similar though.No while not mutually exclusive they're kinda really different.
*edit
don't lock this, there are more fads to hate on
no way people were abusing drugs before they were drinking?
Brewing drinks requires a long process, doing drugs just requires you eating some plants.yeah i guess but brewing alcohol was originally for killing bacteria or something right?
hey you guys should check out erowid trip reports for alcoholMan erowid is hilarious because of all the pretend scientists
There are guys there who are like "I've done 300 LSD trips and done ecstasy over 20 times. This night, I decided to try alcohol. I carefully measured up 200 ml whiskey which I attempted to take orally in one go." etc.
I am completely amazed each time I read one of those, about people who are so wildly experienced with a lot of different drugs and completely naive about alcohol and treat them as they would any other substance they're trying for the first time.
It usually ends up with them taking too much and puke and say GHB is a better substitute or something of the likes...

think you quoted the wrong person bub (its cool we all do it)shit!!! my bad alec.
shit!!! my bad alec.but i wanted to argue with you about bad sitcoms :(
achiro did you make that sig yourself it's not funny
EDIT: It's just true.
And thank's to emo, we have Scene and Vampiesuntrue, hipsters and vampires were around before emo.
vamps ripped off scenes which ripped off emos which ripped off goths which ripped off satanistsuntrue, scenes doesn't mean anything and goths did not rip off satanists.
I also hate pop culturenot a fad, its the larger set fads belong to
The green movement.important political movement not a fad
whinnie the poonot a fad above age of 12
'House programmes'the only house program in the state features hugh laurie and I have heard nothing about a sudden construction craze in britain.
Hip hop, hookah, ipod and other apple products, gay marriagenone are fads in many cultures but inri
Oh god. Sandals. Why is it when men hit like 45 they sell all their trainers(sneakers) and replace them with SANDALS!? I hate seeing scabby old man toes, put on some bloody socks at least!not a fad, been around forever
Also the gangster word "bruh" as a lazy form of the word "bro".not gangster and linguistic movement within certain subcultures barely constitutes a fad
Pokemons, and I don't mean the videogame, but the group of people we call like that, seriously it's an emo gone bad.ACTUALLY A FAD AND FOR SOME FUCKING REASON NO ONE REPLIED TO THIS ITS FASCINATING THEY HAVE SEX IN PARKS
I hate the fake bisexual fadbeen around forever not a fad
Does the fucking hip-hop/thug whatever culture count?no it's been around since before you were born.
Omcifer is completely right as to why the hip-hop culture is just plain wrong, it's people trying to be thugs, when they're not and they end up being a terror to society. I can totally respect REAL hip-hop cultures, from poor areas where the going is tough, but no these wannabes.I've got a black friend I'm not a racist check it out my ipod has the Roots and Common on it, also Wu Tang.
internet, global warming and emos mostlynone are fads
is anti-intellectualism a fadno
Edit: If someone actually did anime/DBZ style to a tee that'd impress me to be honest, but nobody ever gets any part of it right other than SPIKY and BIG EYES
Wait, the fake bisexual fad has been around forever? I'd love to see some straight eye for the queer guy wannabe's in the 30's and 40's
also there's one fad i really hate and it is hipsters wearing those stupid kanye shades which have become really popular in the past two months
Black empowerment by way of turning to Islam.
Black empowerment by way of turning to Islam.
Black empowerment by way of turning to Islam.Yeah, I mean, Obama did it, so everyone basically just copied him.
also there's one fad i really hate and it is hipsters wearing those stupid kanye shades which have become really popular in the past two monthsIf you mean those horrible, cheap plastic sunglasses that cover half your face, I fucking hate those things. Especially since that Corey douchebag got into the (Australian) public spotlight.
Some sitcoms are just plain garbage cause of the lame actors(e.g. full house)You bastard! Full House was the SHIT! Like that episode when one of the girls lost her bike and Joey, Jesse and Danny went around town stealing people's bikes :fogetlaugh:
I don't see how this is socially damaging anyone or degrading society in any degree at all. It's just sunglasses. What's wrong with being stylish? :fogetcool:
*raises hand* i do. (wear skinny jeans, not the homosexual thing)
I don't think its cool to hate upon how people dress, or anything regarding the exterior. Sure we tend to meet idiots who dress in a certain way, but I think it makes more sense to only pass judgement upon a person once we've actually come to realise who they are. I think its more sensible to hate certain attitudes rather than making sweeping statements upon people simply for the way they dress.
kanye glasses just really annoy me.
steel, house programmes are things where the presenters go around with a couple and say HEY THIS HOUSE IS REALLY NICE YOU SHOULD BUY IT and then offer like 4 different houses and then the couple says THESE ARE ALL SHIT WE BOUGHT THIS INSTEAD. or they are 'doing up' their house to sell it and they always look really terrible. i dunno if you guys get these crocks of shit over there, but it's not 'house' the comedy
Sadly, winnie the poo is a fad. I seen people wear winnie the poo clothes in high school.
Pokemons, and I don't mean the videogame, but the group of people we call like that, seriously it's an emo gone bad. The dress like emos, only even more exageratted stuff, listen to raeggeton (or whatever it is written) music all day long, and seem to have a culture of the ugly. The uglier you look the better it seems to be. I wouldn't care too much about it, but in Chile MOST people between 12-20 years is going Pokemon, (i think they are called like that exacly because there's so many of them).
EDIT: also I hate the fake bisexual fad, many people say that just to hve others think they're tolerant, but wouldn't kiss a dude without puking, or many girls who say they're bi just to look cool. I respect REAL bisexuals, but not the fake ones.
Not a fad dude, they were doing it even when I was in high school and I graduated over a decade ago.
holy shit... they're...they're....pokemones!
http://www.newsweek.com/id/124098
this is just insane
What would you call it then? Maybe they are making a comeback like those converse shoes.
Converse never went out of style to make a "comeback"
I'm talking about these things. As far as I know people have not been wearing them since the first time they came out in like the 90s or something.Yeah, you need to maybe leave your PC once in a while and get out. They've never dropped out of fashion.

Look, I don't know when the fuck they came out but I do know that nobody was wearing those until I got to high school.
holy shit... they're...they're....pokemones!
http://www.newsweek.com/id/124098
this is just insane
probably because they are popular amongst high school kids
Not really, plenty of little kids wear them now too.hmmm ahh yes what is easily the most popular tennis shoe of all time is worn by many people of varying age ranges... how odd. arcan you have spent this entire topic being astoundingly stupid, please stop.

Not really, plenty of little kids wear them now too.
ps for that to even be a fad it has to GO AWAY QUICKLY which it has not because they've been consistently worn for over fifty years at this point. again it is coming off like you really cannot process what a fad is.
I already realized that it isn't a fad... do you know what we are even arguing?
I already realized that it isn't a fad... do you know what we are even arguing?whelp an article on some random dumb site said it, i guess it must be true
*edit: I know exactly what a fad is now so shut the hell up about it. Look, this article even calls the shoes a fad so you can't fully blame me for not understanding your shoes.

guys i know these shoes arent a fad, i just CAME INTO A TOPIC ABOUT FADS and listed them as a...clever troll.... a "social experiment" if you will heh
Haha this topic is like half horrible half hilarious.
I was reading that Pokemones thing and I was like "wow teenagers having anonymous oral sex that's new" but then there's the whole anime element and that just makes it weird.
Maybe that's what they should call the plethora of STDs they're going to carry, "Gotta Catch 'Em All~!" (tm)
You know what fad I hate? Marbles. You guys remember Marbles?
what the fuck is reggaetron? It sounds like some gay 80's cartoon targeted towards black youth about a robot from jamaica.
reggaeton*
You guys remember stickball? Yeah, stickball...hated that fad...
[/quote
no but stickball is a game people play a lot still as far as I know. For me and my area of growing up Marbles was a fad.
(I am assuming the point of that post was pointing out that marbles isn't a fad? I did explain in that same post that marbles might not actually be a fad, but in my experience it was. If you authentically are saying you hated stickball as a fad then i'm a jackass ignore this post)

Did anyone ever experience "Gives"? Now THAT was the most obnoxious "fad" ever in middle school. Basically, anyone who said anything obvious or downright stupid would be subjected to this. Followed by someone saying "THATS A GIVEN", someone would smack their hand on the back of your head and swipe it to the side. The whole act is so indignant, you just want to punch that person in the face.Is that where "No shit, Sherlock!" came from?
Wait a sec. I think you guys have been interpretting this wrong. How long ago something was created doesn't matter in the slightest bit. Just because it's there doesn't mean that anybody cares about it.
WELL THEN EVERYTHING EVER IS A FAD BECAUSE NOTHING HAS BEEN POPULAR SINCE FOREVERjesus has
jesus has
i think you guys are a little mixed up. something is defined as a fad when it becomes really popular (usually out of nowhere). It doesn't require the "fad" being OVER before you can claim it is a fad. It also doesn't have to do with the item itself but more the extreme popularity of it at a given time. If everyone started playing marbles all the time right now, then there would be a "marble fad". Just because marbles have been around FOREVER and have had varying degrees of popularity throughout time, does not exclude it from being able to be a fad.
also marbles are NOT a fad and were not ever a fad. Everyone played marbles in elementary school (who else had marble month???). Just because you played marbles in 3rd grade but no long play marbles in 4th grade, does not mean marbles were a fad.
Also, there is such a thing as a LOCALIZED fad. Ie, if everyone at your school played marbles hardcore for a month, then it would be a fad at your school, regardless of anyone else in the world.
Reggaeton is a mixture between rap, hiphop, reggae, merenge, and some other shit... in spanish. It's all about gettin in dat ass. You know. Fuckin dem bitches. Oh, and life in the gutter. At least.... this is the shit my mom listens to. I never sought to listen to it on my own, so I don't know much about it. It sounds awful though.
Personal hygiene is a normality and a necessity. Being a smelly hippie was the fad.well people survived for a long time with little to no personal hygiene and it didn't become the normality until probably the early 1900s, rising up until then, but in the dark ages religious leaders considered bathing sacrilegious.

im probably gonna lock this topic unless the next few posts are really... EPIC:welp:
electricity is v popular but no one is calling it a fad i wonder why??Because it's not a fashion of any kind.
Because it's not a fashion of any kind.fads do not need to be a fashion btw. why would you think this. it can be any type of OCCURRENCE and this includes usage of a particular tool/utility. so yeaaaah pretty dumb post guy!
new topic: Fag's that you hate most.wanda sykes
fucking everyone from Project Runway GREEN IS NOT A DARING COLOR.
I don't think it was that dumb, headphonics. The definition clearly states "a temporary fashion, notion, manner of conduct, etc." so I don't think breathing air counts, do you?it wasn't as dumb as this one, no! this is a laughable parallel to draw because electricity was an innovation that skyrocketed in popularity instantaneously MUCH LIKE A FAD except for the part where it did not go away (had it done this it would have qualified as one though!!) which was kind of the point because people are naming things that aren't temporary at all, whereas breathing is actually jesus christ why am i even bothering. thank you 2beers for reinforcing the image of you as an incredibly big moron in everyone's minds
