Let’s not say that, as fellow millennials, we didn’t have plastic stretchy chokers and charmingly odd toys called yo-yos. There was one, but then it disappeared without a trace.
Many of the trends, tendencies and frenzy (want to be in a flash mob?!) that gathered all the buzz at one point seem to have expired.
“What’s the huge trend that everyone forgot about?” Asked on Redditand the thread quickly turned into a walk-down memory lane, merged with a healthy amount of cringe.
When I was a kid, in the 90’s, the yo-yo had a big comeback. They were all the rage for about half of the first school year, then disappeared. I had fun playing with my dad for a while and learned some tricks.

“There really aren’t any golden rules for recognizing if something is trending or fad.” Lina Zurvira Founder of abstract stylist Creators of magazines and metaverse newsletters wearable dailySaid bored panda.
It depends a lot on the context and all trends. But when talking about the fashion industry, which is largely dominated by trends that change from season to season, Lina argues, many unexpected things happen.
“We think about fashion trends and fads the same way we think about art. The truth will be revealed when we can understand if this is really something that will stay with our generation.” .”
Today, many trends are inevitably influenced by technological advances. From AI to the Metaverse to Web3, the way we experience the world around us is rapidly changing. The same goes for art and fashion. Virtual try-on, video games, metaverse fashion shows, and NFTs have paved the way for new concepts in digital fashion. Experts say we don’t know what will happen next.
The biggest challenge with many ephemeral trends is staying relevant. The only way to do so is to maintain or increase its value for years to come. But how do you know that? Lina says she considers a few things before making a purchase decision.
“First of all, it’s the people who made it, because people always bring the most value. If you think about it, H&M is not a collectible brand, but when you collaborate with a big name designer, it’s a different story. , and those items will be sold at a higher price than the original sale.”
“Challenges” such as the Cinnamon Challenge, the Ice Bucket Challenge, and the Condom Challenge.

Another important aspect is timing. “Is this a copy or something I haven’t seen in the universe? For example, IKEA has a lot of functional minimal style designs, but Dieter Rams’ designs always sell for a higher price.” They were space pioneers, so they will be valuable over time,” Lina explained.
A third aspect to consider when making an investment is the availability of the item’s technology. “Is this based on something that will change fashion and the industry forever?”
Lina cites Prada’s iconic nylon bag as an example. “These were one of the first nylon bags to hit the market at a time when nylon was big news in the fashion world. The creator of the Metaverse Newsletter draws similarities between Ethereum technology and Nylon material, saying it’s “new, exciting, and available to others.”

My mom lived in the 80’s as a young adult and is 100% aerobics according to her. World wide. In fact, it’s so huge that it’s almost impossible to escape from it, as it was everywhere. Television, electronics, costumes, movies, singing, competitions, and many corporate workplaces, including my mother, even had dedicated aerobics routines.
And you would think that today’s gym culture is already crazy enough..

I feel like the neon clothing and accessories trend was such a big thing that everyone forgot about it.
Remember when everyone wore neon green snapback hats and neon pink crop tops?

I still have some neon pieces in my closet, so I might have to take them home.

They were literally buying them as an investment worth thousands of dollars… I literally saw them for sale at a speedway the other day

Clowns appear randomly here and there to surprise people. It feels like it was just a few years ago.
Those sochem boppers. More fun than a pillow fight! However, it actually turned into a big scuffle when they were kids, and their parents took them away. Because one child was bruised and crying.
No one remembered Tiger Electronic’s game until it was featured in an episode of AVGN.
Cut the rope with Angry Birds and a phone screen too small.
Remember the stupid band? Those little animal-shaped rubber bands? They took over my middle school. It was treated like a controlled substance, which made it even more valuable. And then one day they disappeared.
Neopet

During its peak years, it earned about 2 million Neo Points. I spent hours immersed in three games a day (especially the pterosaur and bullseye games!). And I loved reading user-written stories and fanfiction. Some of them turned into multi-entry sagas that spanned months. I found it being done 😭
