Things that were once in trend but now we snigger at.

bodhi085

A few years ago everyone had one of those Bluetooth ear pieces and would be walking in the street/shopping centres etc talking away on them,but now you don't see it as much and it looks quite sad really. They should have been the new way in technology but do we snigger at seeing people wearing them now.

I can see the e cigarettes going the same way. I saw a woman today puffing on one like she had to get the final desperate drag out of it,and I thought do we snigger at the sight of people using them also. Will they become a trend we will laugh at in years to come?

So what was really in trend once that was the next big thing,but now we snigger at the sight of if we do happen to see people doing/wearing?

Back in the day, I would always see men stick their hands in the backside of their gf whenever I went to the shopping mall.
Now I never see it.

I seem to remember a strange time about ten years ago where grown adults were going around on scooters. I might be mad though.

Remember the Blackberry craze? People would look at me as if I had ten heads when they would see me with no blackberry. I would reply. "I had a Blackberry once, but then I ate it."

I have a very small mobile phone and mortgage.

But I've got a very big...Leylandii tree. I think people snigger at it.

So...you came back from America?

Things don't stay trendy for long these days, It's amazing how quickly the herd moves on to their next obsession.

generalmental

Paying for minutes and texts on mobile phone bills.

In fact if the likes of Google and Facebook manage to get their own way I would say most telecommunications companies could be gone in 10 years

Anything that really flaunted its Americanness?

America used to be fierce cool when I was little, all the cool things would be all American and they'd be using their Americanness to get you to want them and you would want them because America was crazy cool. I don't see things selling themselves as being "American Style" as much anymore or nothing.
Someone wearing a shirt that's all based on the american flag or whatever generally looks super lame.



This could all be in my head though, I thought America was the be all and end all of coolness ...possibly still do.:o

Yes, holding their butt I suppose, why else would a hand be there?, but what you mentioned is a whole new level.

I was just seeking clarity, thought I slept through a whole new interesting phase there for awhile or something. Would have been unfortunate to miss that

Plenty of them around though the current fashion does seem to be RS4 badges and stupid bodykits on all the diesel ones.

Aren't most jeans 'boot cut'? Unless you specifically buy skinny jeans they are all reasonably wide around the ankle.

The Eminem inspired blonde hair dye. You'd still see the odd plonker at a GAA match rocking it. Bonus points for an eye brow piercing.
