    Ok thanks for that, I know what a trend is.

    I was actually just continuing a joke that the poster before me set up. You probably didn't get the reference. That's ok though. It's actually made by a senile old character called Grandpa.

    Aw man. Miss Sixty and Susst jeans, do they still exist even?

    Susst shoes - everyone used to wear these chucky platforms to school until those loafer type shoes (doobs as D4s called them) took over.

    Bootcut jeans.

    Although a, large, no pun intended, cohort of “men” in their 30s and early 40s won’t let it die.
    Bootcut jeans are timeless. What kind of psychopath would want jeans that don't sit over your shoes?

    Knacker taches, once ubiquitous among feral kids in inner city Dublin.
    Celtic tops, way rarer then back in the day,
    That short haircut with the fringe brushed over the forehead in distinct strands,
    Tacky car modifications and the culture around them, dead AF in Dublin where it once reigned, lingers on in parts of rural Ireland and among middle aged types who should know better (a guy convicted of drifting in Kerry yesterday was 33 FFS)

    NeckNominations. I think there were 2 deaths in Ireland from morons trying to out do each other.

    Imagine somebody looking up their family tree and seeing your great great uncle died in some sort of accident. Then finding out it was over downing a pint of vodka and jumping into a river for some internet fad that lasted a month. Unreal.

    Literally nobody ever says "d'ya remember your NeckNomination? That really solidified your legendary status"

    The yoof of today should really work to bring that back. There’d be far more riding, and far less of the old identity politics stuff. Plus Chris De Burgh would get paid royalties.

    Cabbage Pack Dolls, I had one and I was a guy. Remember every kid had one in the mid to late 80's. My mom got my two sisters one, and me to hohoho. I remember it's ugly face to. One time on a road trip I was feeling sick and I took my sisters cabbage pack doll and puked in the cabbage pack. She went nuts, my mother emptied the vomit out the window and the whole side of our Datsun got cover in a streak of puke. Good times lol.

    Le Coq Sportif tracksuits

    The huge zip pockets on the front/stomach of tracksuits

    Nike watches when you'd collect a certain number of Coca Cola bottle labels

    Tying your shoelace behind the tongue of the shoe and the leg of your trousers would be stuck behind it

    Frosted tips

    Spikey hair

    Doc Martins

    Yo-Yos - this craze even led to some YoYo "champion" visiting our primary school

    Luminous orange/lime Nike t-shirts - not cotton but some kind of slightly plastic material

    Using and wearing down a hurley on tar and chip school playground for so long it would end up looking like a hockey stick
