Fads You Hated.

Myspace, People had thousands and even tens or hundreds of thousands of friends just to brag about.

Although I don't wear them, I hate the fact men wear skinny jeans (Jeggings) because it just looks so wrong.

I have another! American punks. They're not even real punks for $|-|!75 sake! The 90's must have been a horrible time for such things.

[QUOTE="Buttons1990"] hot, clean feet Silverbond

There are some weird fetishes out there.

After reading all of these comments, another annoying fad that came up is kids acting like "conformists" is a disease. If you are saying that other people are "conformists" you are probably one of those pansies who turned to goth or emo because you just think everyone else is lame for not acting like a vampire. I was raised well before the "vamp" and "emo" scene caught on with kids, but, holy horsecrap, this generation of suburban pansies really gets my goat. Just act like a man regardless of if you use books or brawn to do it. I was never a big dude, but I didn't take crap from anybody, and I got along with pretty much all different kids at my school. If you are calling people "conformists", it is most likely you won't get laid until after college unless it's by some trampy fat chick who gives blow jobs to emo kids to prove she doesn't care about her sexuality.

Now that the rant is over, I just have to say, I like this topic, but seriously I am sick of SOME of these 15-year olds acting like metrosexual GLEEtards. It's not that I'm hating on effeminate gays or gay people. I am hating on effeminate hetero people for acting effeminate because TV shows are making it seem cool. Not cool. Be your damn self. End.

Okay, I think we need to post the definition of fad. Some people are not clear it seems.

From MW: a practice or interest followed for a time with exaggerated zeal

From Dictionary.com: a temporary fashion, notion, manner of conduct, etc., especially one followed enthusiastically by a group.

So... some of the answers here might be more fitting for another word. Like for examples people have said:

Facebook/Social Networking (lol, why would anyone hate that anyway?)

Kinect

Trading cards (in general, there are many who still play)

Skinny jeans (even though it might become one eventually)

Call of Duty

Pop (been around for centuries... even if you don't like it, it won't die.. ever lol now you could say a old pop singer)

Emo/Punk/etc styles

And it goes on. It is only a fad when it dies. But my answer is jersey dresses.

There's a pretty big hardcore punk scene here in the US that's also much more true than bulls*** "punk" bands like The Sex Pistols. Fads I hated: Skateboarding/longboarding (as a fad, not as a hobby), animes, and Call Of Duty. DmadFearmonger

Facebook

cigarette jeans on men and COD,

and the recent (in the past few years) fad of every guy suddenly becoming a ufc fanboy and their favourite fighter being a UFC champion because thats one of the only ones they know (not that your fav fighter cant be one but you guys get what i mean).

like one guy at my uni was going on about how crap wanderlei silva andwhat has he ever done for mma?

Bravo sir, bravo !

Thank God I never had to deal with that crap when I was a kid. In our school nobody joined these fads, we were all just normal kids dressed however the hell we wanted and everybody got along fine. Same goes for high school really.

Hating on Obama, I'll be glad when it passes.

Palantas

Hating on Presidents in general is a fad.

No kidding. I doubt there's ever been a president that somebody wasn't b****ing about in a ridiculous, exagerrated fashion.

William Henry Harrison maybe... He was only in office for 32 days before he died lol :P

Not enough time for him to really do anything worth complaining about...

Crocs, Uggs, "Sex bracelets"...that's pretty much it for old fads. Now, as for fads that are ongoing...sweet Jesus. I hate them all. This whole craze with wearing oversized, non-prescription black plastic glasses? Really? I was made fun of when I had to get glasses. Girls dying their hair this hideous shade of red? Why?! You don't look hot or unique, you look like a CHEAP HOOKER that looks exactly like 90% of all other females at the moment! Skunk stripe highlights. Just wrong. Those look good on nobody. Getting feathers braided into your hair? Okay, Pocahontas. Oaklies? You look like a douche. Wearing them upside down on the back of your neck? You look like a bigger douche. Combining both of these with those stupid "sports performance" and balance-enhancing little rubber bracelets? You look like a MAJOR douche. Combining all of these three whilst wearing an Affliction shirt and pre-shredded and distressed Buckle jeans? Take a look in the mirror and please, slap yourself to save me the trouble of having to do it for you.

Anyways....yeah, I pretty much hate fads :P Just be yourself, please! Is being true to yourself that ridiculous of an idea?! I'm not a non-conformist...I'm just me. /shrugs

I hate all fads that involve words. Currently that would be saying legit and quality. Like if a game is good they will say its legit or quality. I think either yes it is confoming to the laws or i think, "uh, is it high quality or low quality?"

I find the Kim Kardashian fad kind of annoying. Why is she so famous again?

MgamerBD

Yeah, I heard that it wasn't worth tracking down.

But I didn't know that's why she was so famous.

That's a pretty lame reason for fame, even lamer than usual.

The one that irritates me the msot right now is definitely social networking. I hate how every company now wants us to:

• Like them on Facebook
• Follow them on Twitter
• Subscribe to their YouTube
• Like/Favorite/Comment on their videos
• Visit their blog
• Sign up for their email club for special offers/coupons

Another fad I hate; "Reality" Television. **** THAT

I was visiting my friend up at Ohio State last week and the only games any of them have are Madden, Fifa, Modern Warfare 2, and Black Ops. A guy asked me what my favorite games were and I said Fallout, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, Ninja Gaiden, and Battlefield. He told me he has never heard of any of those games before yet he is almost 8th prestige on Black Ops

[QUOTE="Androvinus"] I cant tell you how much i hate it when a person who knows nothing about gaming and has never had a console in their life goes "omg i love cod, i hear theres a new one coming out.

There is no excuse for not knowing those games for someone that plays hours and hours of games every week. I don't like a lot of the most popular artists/actors/celebrities/movies but I am aware of who they are.

I'm not saying he isn't allowed to only like call of duty and sports games, its just surprising that he isn't even aware of other options in games which he may also like.

Shuffling.

I have a real hatred for tall hats. It was maybe.. 5-7 years ago when King Diamond was in Stockholm and I was there to see him with some friends... All these goddamn monkey clowns with their tall stupid hats standing in front of you... Couldn't see **** I was maybe 16-17 at the time and maybe not the tallest guy but still.. people shorter than me blocked my view with those **** hats. From that day forward I've dedicated my life to the eradication of those SCHWINE! Bah, still pisses me off to this date. 12 **** hours in a car back and forth for looking mostly at hats! Don't you just love it when you can't let something go? ;_;

Edit: Incase it was unclear... I hate(d) the fad where everyone in that damn city wore those stupid 1800's hats. Never saw in anywhere else in this country.

Edit 2+3: Spelling. Can't spell when I'm thinking about those hats.

I wear plaid and wear skinny jeans.

I don't really think of them as a fad, though you could argue they are.

Plaid looks nice and so do skinny jeans.

I like looking nice.

Don't see the problem here.
