Fads? So we have a thread for the "fads" we just don't get, but what about the ones we secretly love? Those guilty (or not so guilty) pleasures.

I bet you planked!

Nerd glasses, Bop-It, those Korean hula hoops of doom dieting, Tamagotchis, man buns? Dip dye hair? Drop crotches? What about twerking? A dozen phone straps way back when? Did you get on the hipster bandwagon? Or maybe the selfie revolution? PEZ dispensers, super-duper-ridiculously tight skinny jeans, temp tatts? Confess your sins.

I say fads, but really some things are just a way of life and need to be mentioned here regardless.

Spoiler

What's yours? Loud and proud!

Slap bracelets.  Mind-blowing as a child, and as a result, broken in 20 minutes.

STICKERS!!!!, but, not the Facebook ones~

The thing is I do not like pasting them on my stuff, I just like having them there.... Maybe paste one or two on a notebook or something, but that's it!

And God only knows what would I have if I lay my hands on... sticker paper? and a laser printer! 0w0  

I even have stickers for numbers and letters ;w;


"I swim through a sea of stars                         "That's no good. Was I asleep?                         "Zu'u Alduin. Zok sahrot do naan ko Lein!"
without looking back to shore.                           No matter how much I sleep,                             -"I am Alduin. Most mighty of any in the world!"
Faster than light, bending time                          the exhaustion doesn't go away..."                              —Alduin, (Elder Scrolls V, The)
                                                                                   —Kenjirou (Kagerou Project)

That is filth. You are a disgusting creature.

I totally digged (dug?) those weird youtube challenges. I never did it myself, but it cracked me up seeing all those other idiots people do them.
Milk and OJ challenge? Cinnamon challenge? Salt and ice challenge? Bring on the boys.

Drop crotches

Just why......

 

I like Crocs too, it's a really nice sandal, it cover your feet and easy to slip in/out, althrough it's much more annoying if it got wet (by rain, etc) than normal sandals.

 

My guilty pleasure is this kind of emo(?) hair:

Spoiler

 

I just like the way it looks, I mean, I'm far away for being an "Emo" (like why the f they use that torturing "super-duper-ridiculously tight skinny jeans"? It's hard to put it in+out, no wonder they got depressed) and I like that hair ever since I'm on my middle/highschool (around 2004+) and that's because some kind of manga/anime character, and about 2 years ago I decided to do that, well I'm fine my lecturer in univ makes joke about "I can't see shit, etc" but what annoys me when my friend saying I look like sasuke? I know sasuke is an edgy kid, but wow,

 

And the other thing that made me like that hair is this profile picture of mine (at that moments):

Spoiler

My hair is short now (like a "Normal" one), but I still like that hair~

 

And I really love "Cutbray" jeans (don't know what they say in english), but it was fad like 40-50 years ago...

And please, get on my level. I don't do drop crotches, I go for sarouels *spoken in a bitchy rich american white girl accent* (think super comfy pants you get in thailand and bali, now imagine it in black, with huge pockets and better fabric. Tadah)

(And actually, Yohji did a collab with Evangelion back in... '13? '14? Some cool stuff.)

I do!

> and also, another fad of mine may be that when am watching anime I have this thing that I take a screenshot whenever a notable or strong expression is drawn or showed by any character, even to faces they make.

"I swim through a sea of stars                         "That's no good. Was I asleep?                         "Zu'u Alduin. Zok sahrot do naan ko Lein!"

You mean as reference to draw? I do that too. But for... humans. Burberry acoustic artists have some great facial expressions!

I feel the need to say this even if it's obvious.
Those small tattoos that were everywhere in 2011~2012 ish.
It got people open to the idea that tatts aren't just for the really hardcore peeps. A small one by your ankle, on your ribs, your wrist, behind your ear. You don't have to start with a sleeve. So yes. That fad.

Well...... Not every single time as reference, some are much more for.... my own amusement, if I may say.

And yeah little tattoos look nice, like small phrases or creatures!

i was a victim of the "rad cool marina edits aliens goop pizza dogs with sunglasses" kind of thing that came out of tumblr going early 00s/90s kids in like 2012

I was a victim of fishnet arm sleeves and taking photos of myself crying with a sorrowful message like "today, i remembered the days we shared. why did you leave me like this? well i dont care anymore. I'm going to find someone better than you, I don't need a background character like you to be in my story anymore. Thsi is not the end, this is The And."

Currently I am a victim of only wearing high waisted anythings, and chokers. Thank god I'm not doing the jesus sandals though. those are 2 much.

wtf are those? Sounds rad. Aliens are totally my thing.

I wear chokers. My friends make them for me, because they know I'll wear literally anything. I didn't know they were a fad though!
