The internet.
In all seriousness though, the World Wide Web.
Ok for reals, there was a time where cool kids wore their pants backwards.

Pogs, I think.
I have to admit, I did buy a nice fidget spinner. ;)
Mid-20s today? Yeah. Ok.
In your 40s today? Welp…
I’m 48 and just bought a fancy one from Etsy.
It still makes a great cat toy!
Ok, that I haven’t considered. Old unsold cat toys should be repackaged as cat toys!
The new packaging could say “Remember these stupid things? Well cats still LOVE them! Watch your cat lose their fucking mind! It’s hilarious seeing their little fur brains try to comprehend these simple toys!”
I’d buy a spinner toy like that. Planking however was ALWAYS stupid, and everyone who did it should feel shame.
I’m 40+ and still love spinners :)
I recently bought a nice hand machined metal one. It helps me focus when doing email
Got one after the craze had died down and they’re surprisingly fun - just a good quality desk toy
I was so furious that my fidget spinner started to graze insanely after 3 days. I liked that trend ngl.
I did not buy any, but got one as a gift. Was embarrassed to use it in public, but genuinely enjoyed. All because since earlier than I can remember, I require keeping my hands busy with something.
I had 6, and today I have 0. Yep, I lost all my fidget spinners.
Five Nights at Freddy’s. So much wasted brainpower.
My little cousin was 10 during the height of the craze. I have been regaled with hours of FNAF lore that now lives rent free in my head. My YouTube recommendations were cursed for years. I still tease him about it nowadays and he cringes hard.
I used to wear a short-sleeve shirt over a long-sleeve shirt
I mean… I still do in the winter…
Is this not cool anymore??
People still do this and it was never a trend. It’s classical style.
gasps Stupid trend?!?
Laundry detergent economy is more efficient if your bottom-layer clothing items have lower mass. You can fit more short-sleeve shirts in the washer than long-sleeve shirts. So it’s better to have thin, short-sleeve t-shirts as the bottom layer and thick sweatshirts for the outer layer.
I had a WWJD bracelet at one point in time. The late 90s were weird like that.

JNCO
YOU TAKE THAT BACK

I’ll go one even further. Before JNCO existed we’d just go to the thrift store and buy the largest size pants we could find. Pair a 48" waist pant with a XXL tshirt when you were 28" and youth large and you were at the height of skate fashion.
those old Harlem Shake videos from 2013… and I was in two of em
Found the HR woman from 2013 who thought she was being cool…or possibly someone employed by a minor league hockey team.

Atkins. The 00s low carb diet. How did people do it?
When I finally broke, I put steamed rice and French fries on a cheese pizza and rolled it up and ate it.
There’s a “modern” version of the Atkins diet, the keto diet. Same rules as far as I can tell, just rebranded. I went nuts. I couldn’t stop thinking about bread. Sound of it, smell of it, taste of it… It haunted me day and night. I’d often find myself looking up bread maker reviews, comparing different bread makers on Amazon… Don’t remember what I had when I finally gave up, wasn’t nearly as awesome what you did. But I can tell you I did not buy a bread maker afterwards.
Jams shorts in the 80s. A friend and I wore them after a wedding, with tuxedos.
The CCTV trend on imageai. Different celebrities or fictional characters stealing from target is just funny for some reason

When I was younger I fell for two - baggy jeans and llamas.
I remember in 5th grade I tried to joke about llamas with one kid and show him the llama song (because he loved llamas) and he said I was just copying him. In hindsight fuck you Hans, you didn’t invent llamas, you were just copying others too, you tool!
Baggy pants were regrettable too…
