You Are Currently Watching: Being Trendy Must Endy
Posted In: All Videos, Social CommentaryComments: 54 Responses
I consider this a social responsibility issue, though others might beg to differ. But. God, I hate trends. Social trends. Cultural trends. Even counterculture trends. Trends of all kinds, I hate: but especially fashion trends. Because to me, they never look like anything anyone likes: people who wear them just like being told they’re wearing something safe that is sanctioned by the social police. So they know they fit in. They are wearing the uniform the culture is currently condoning. But I’m not. Legwarmers will always look stupid to me. Skinny jeans look unflattering 75% of the time. Trucker hats are stupid. Occasionally along the way, a functional or actually nice-looking piece becomes trendy, and sometimes that’s even worse. Because then the trendy jerks hijack a style I like, so I can’t wear it until it becomes untrendy again. That’s the social responsibility humor of irony at work right there, eh? This happened with oversized sunglasses for me. I’ve been wearing big sunglasses since I started buying my own, because they provide more sun protection and suit my face. Plus I like to hide my little introverted self as much as possible behind them. So when all the stupid little rich, famous girls started wearing them and everyone in our culture followed suit, I was bummed. I laid low with some small aviators as much as possible. Thank god they’re now wearing those stupid colored Ray-bans™ from the 80s again, looking as stupid as ever. So what fashion trends have you hated on? NOTE: you can tell this was made several years ago by A, the trends I talk about and B, the BLONDE HAIR. Which I immediately dyed back when suddenly everyone was going blonde.

I gave this video a perfect 5 without question. You did your job very well and suped it up by actually going outside and talking to people about it! I liked everything you did in the video.

I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t address the reality that a lot of people just really don’t give a shit about the presence or absence of trends. Take me, for example. I’m not going to say that I’m not affected by – or even at times a slave to – trends. But the fact of the matter is, it just doesn’t mean enough to me to bother mulling it over.

(Cont.) Does this mean I’m sacrificing my individuality? Hells naw. I have plenty of personality, but I just wouldn’t presume to be able to subsume it in a binary shirt-and-pants combination. And don’t even bring up accessories. Fuck accessories. I’m busy and cheap. Give me utility or give me death.

(Cont. x 2)Anyway, my point is this: While I totally give props to people who express their personality and uniqueness with fabric and hunks of metal, I don’t really need that to show my personality. That’s what my personality is for.

I started a long hair trend at my school. It was awesome. In general, I go for functionality, and in the rare cases I try to be stylish, I do something unique and people think I look awesome. Tis better to be a shepard then a sheep.

Yes I hate it when people tell me what to wear because its not trendy! Everyone is born with their own independent mind and individual. That means their own tastes in what they like. So people should be able to wear what they want!

yes! i hate it that people tell me i shouldn’t wear something because it’s becoming too trendy! i guess i can’t wear anything right, cause it wouldn’t represent me even if i WANTED to wear it, even if i LIKED it… i can’t dye my hair blonde either because that’s too much of a trend… hypocrite.

this state just shows how sad these trendy people are, I respect any1 who can be themselves – u wont see me fitting in with sad boring trends – I am happy with my own individuality tyvm! People should just be themselves and people who dont respect that decision arent true genuine people as far as I’m concerned.

Fashion trends really annoy me. I can’t stand everyone dressing the same just because someone on TV or in Hollywood tells them too. I wear whatever I feel like. I usually wear a band or tye-dye t-shirt, an Army fatigue jacket, and an East German beret.

i say wear what you think looks nice, if you see someone wearing something you like then go get it, the point where it annoys me is when people wear things that interfere with their functionality, or if they just wear it because they think its cool, oh and when people have clearly put alot of effort into their look, just seems to me that people who do that tend to be a bit up themselves

[...] you know anything about me, you know that I absolutely hate stupid fashion trends. Not, like, low-rise jeans or other new cuts of clothes, but, like, trucker hats. Gaucho pants. [...]
