Do you mean (sorry to use a very mainstream title) something like Greenday's American Idiot.

phoenixflames 06-05-2005 10:43 AM

^ Yeah, alot along those lines. I wasn't thinking that specificly, but it just seems like there are a ton of bands out there that turned "political" when the election rolled around. If you want to be that way, don't just change overnight. It gives them very little credibility in my mind.

If they really mean everything they say, then more power to them. Its their right to say what they want, but I just hope they really mean it and aren't just doing it because its fashionable.

Well, I think there's nothing wrong with that, if they're able justify their criticism. I mean if they have a real political statement to tell. But I got the impression that every dump fool tries to say something bout the newest political events, without even knowing what he's talking bout. Like "Oh, I'm against Bush, too!", cuz all the others said that before, but they dunno why, they dunno a s***!

It's an old trend, a very old one, but still it gets hauled out every single time something gains popularity.

It is: THE BANDWAGON TREND!

Day 1
Me: "New Kids On The Block"
Everyone around me: "EEEEK!" "THEY'RE SO HOT!" *Swoon* "Oh, man they're cool!" "I wanna marry all of them!" Etc. Etc. Etc.

Day 2
Me: "New Kids On The Block"
Responce 1: "UGH!"
Responce 2: "Who?"

Day 3
Me: "N'Sync"
Everyone around me: "EEEEK!" "THEY'RE SO HOT!" *Swoon* "Oh, man they're cool!" "I wanna marry all of them!" Etc. Etc. Etc.

You get the picture.

it seems to be one of two things: 1. people won't give to charity unless they get something they can show off with....person1(usually a celebrity) :"ooooo!! look at me i give money to charity and i made it popular!! i'm great look at how great i am!!"
person 2 (average human being): "i do that anyway i just don't show off you modest dichface!!"

i especially hate the one where rappers pretend to have a huge, and i mean HUGE, fight and decide to make up and give away money!! where? you might ask...ON TELEVISION OF COURSE!!

[QUOTE=ArtistInTheAmbulanceI prefer that to all the velour tracksuits I see around now. But then, I prefer almost anything to that.[/QUOTE] having the word sexy ass written on your ass does not automatically make us think your ass is sexy, it just makes us notice more and more why you shouldn't be wearing those pants!! although i must say tracksuits are awfully comfy and i like wearing the cotton ones at home

another trend that i hate is right here in stockholm.the rich boy over-tanned snob:
they only wear brand names, are always overly tanned and this is not because they've been out of the country and did it by mistake, no because even though they can afford travelling every five minutes they choose to overdo it.They always wear jeans with suit jackets and pink shirts with the collar up!!!*shiver* Definately a tourist attraction when visiting Stockholm(they have grown in numbers since i arrived).

when people do stupid crap for attention. for example, saturday night me and my cousins are at broadway on the beach and this chick had her car break down. now she was perfectly fine until all the guys started coming over to her asking her whats wrong seeing if they could try to make her "feel better". then she was making a scene. crying hysterically. that pisses me off. another thing that people do for attention that pisses me off is (let the flaming begin) self injury. thats jsut plain ridiculous.

Thats pretty good. I think I would laugh if I saw that. I don't think I would feel sorry, at least not when she started crying histericly. Some people are just too over-dramatic.

if you saw what she was wearing you'd make a b-line straight over there too.

phoenixflames 06-09-2005 08:42 AM

^ Actually, denpending on what it was, I probably wouldn't have. Some peoples dressing just disgusts me. If the current trend keeps going, everyone will be naked soon! :yikes: And since you said that people basicly swarmed over, there would have been plenty of help, thereby eliminating the need for my car fixing expertise... :)

well good for you then. those guys that came over just wanted a piece of...well you know. im glad youre not one of those brain dead losers. that pissed me off when they all came swarming over. and one or two of them were pretty hot but nooooo they paid absolutley no attention to me. sigh.

phoenixflames 06-09-2005 08:58 AM

^ Well, maybe you should have your car break down, be half naked, and turn on the waterworks! Then you would get your choice. :)

i would be doing the exact same thing that i despise so hell no. id rather use my charm and stunning good looks (yeah right) in a better way than trying to get raped. so no thanks, ill leave that to the sluts.

phoenixflames 06-09-2005 09:03 AM

^ LOL! Good choice. Besides, the guys you would get like that would only have one thing on their mind, and it wouldn't be your personality.

addict nurse 08-28-2007 12:17 PM

i dont think its so bad if you can make it work........but then thats coming from me i hate girls who have short dreads i have dreads but mine go to my waste....and i buy proper shampoo so they dont smell like crap......what i hate are GOTHS arg walking around calling yourself and indavidule when you all look exactly the same unfortunatly i fell into that trend myself at age 13 but luckly grew out of it the following year now i follow my own style comprised of all the things i think are cool....and needless to say others do aswell seeing as they copy me so ****ing much........GOTHS

addict nurse 08-28-2007 12:23 PM

i have to agree with that...the 80's had some cool as cloths but it seems all the ones they picked out to come back are all the ones that some magazine cloths advicer ganericly vomited out....its disgusting

Son of JayJamJah 08-28-2007 12:59 PM

Worst current trends, Pink Shirts and Womens jeans on men.

joyboyo53 08-28-2007 01:08 PM

^ agreed. i dont mean to hate on peoples style but lets talk about comfort here; i promise that it cannot feel good to smash your junk into womens pants that are so tight you have a mans camel toe. i just dont understand it.

anticipation 08-28-2007 02:18 PM

adolescence is the worst trend.




I mean come on, can't you at least try to match your Power Rangers shirt and Tonka sneakers?

jackhammer 08-28-2007 02:27 PM

Chavs who acquire half decent labels as their own, they have recently taken BENCH, SUPERDRY and DC SHOES, so I can't wear my shít now! Emo kids with their jeans half way down their legs, it's even worse when the women do it. Who want's to see boxer shorts on women?

sal calypso 08-28-2007 03:51 PM

there is no integrity in "dance punk". is that even the term? and whats up with men that go to salons? the worst is the one where the bangs jut off to one side, and the hair is two tone.

sleepy jack 08-28-2007 03:56 PM

I wear pink shirts =(

Son of JayJamJah 08-28-2007 04:21 PM

Alright then he should be forced to wear a collared shirt I think in traditional black or white

sleepy jack 08-28-2007 04:25 PM

But its a pink blood brothers shirt!

I don't understand any aspect of this post. Please don't take offence. I'm old and so far behind the times, I think Glenn Miller is the schnizz. OK not that bad!

Frances 08-28-2007 11:08 PM

Worst trend?

Not wearing your pants properly!

Pull 'em up!

Get a belt!

Tossers!:finger:
