Social media is buzzing with complaints about the trends that people can’t stand anymore, and let’s just say, some of the responses are pretty relatable. From subscription services invading every aspect of life—like who wants to pay to read a newspaper?—to the cringe-worthy family vlog channels exploiting kids for views, it seems there’s a consensus on what needs to go. Seriously, are we really still okay with watching strangers raise their children on the internet for clicks? It’s like a modern-day circus, but without the popcorn.
Then there are the beauty and fashion trends sparking outrage, like lip fillers and the dreaded “broccoli haircut.” Believe it or not, some folks are calling for the end to over-inflated lips and mop-top hairstyles that make it impossible to tell if you’re looking at a person or an alpaca. If anyone’s had enough of overpriced specialty desserts like those almost-sickeningly rich cookies from trendy shops, they’re not alone. Are we really dropping six bucks for a cookie that’s 700 calories? Talk about a calorie crime!
While some trends might have seemed harmless in their inception, the opinionated internet is making it clear: trends are fickle, and they can vanish just as quickly as they arrive. The real question is, what will make the chopping block next? A fellow user alluded to how AI-generated art is kind of ruining creativity—maybe it’s high time we take a collective stand and remind ourselves what authentic expression really looks like.
So, if you’re feeling frustrated or just plain amused by what’s happening in the world of trends, you’re not alone. The great trend fast-track maybe just needs a reboot, because at this rate, the only trend we actually need is simply keeping our sanity intact.
