Oh man, that's catching on around here too. The funny thing is that those girls think they look good, when they look absolutely ridiculous.

:thumbsup: They walk around thinking they're all cool with those sunglasses. Meanwhile, I'm laughing my ass of in my head.

I'm pretty sure that the title implied 1 fad, not a laundry list....

IM is older than 5 years, you must be a little kid, or someone who entered the IM world really late.

1) Razr - it's the dumbest phone in the world, and you guys think you're pimp with it? It's got technology over 2 freaking years old. I've been through 2 generations of phones since my Moto V600 which is the same as a Razr.
 
The empowerment of stupidity. In recent years a prominent political figure has inspired morons everywhere to stop leaving any doubt; to open their mouths wide at every opportunity and loudly proclaim their stupidity for the world to marvel at, just as he does (not saying any names 😉).
 
Young chicks dressing like gangstas with all the loose clothing is the fad I hate the most.

Its no wonder so many young men are sexually confused, lol

Overpriced real estate isn't a fad either.
And text messaging has been popular in the rest of the world for quite a long time now.
But apart from that, the rest of the list is pretty good in terms of bad recent things.
 
Bangs on women.... I hate bangs on women. One attractive women does it and 100 billion others have to follow suit.

I second, especially when everyone goes for the latest and "hippest" rap song or lame punk wannabe song.

Also iPods. Geez, there are other players out there, and no, you dont need to take them out every 5 minutes to show off. No, I'm not jealous, I can afford many.

What's wrong with ipods...I like mine, the user interface works well, it's compact, i like itunes...

It gets used on flights and in my car...

They're overpriced and don't support ogg. Actually it doesn't support A LOT of high-quality formats, the obvious exception being WAV :thumbsdown:

Most importantly though they're overpriced. It's trendy to own an iPod, and trendiness costs extra 😛

Edit: I thought it was worth mentioning that the only way I'll use an iPod is if someone buys it for me as a gift. Cheaper, more versatile MP3 players are out there.

they're so annoying when cars driving in the other lane keep blinding you. not to mention pointless. I live in an urban area. I could drive home from work tonight with my headlights totally off and probably not even notice because it's so bright out.

i love hids...
 
The top one on my list would have to be the super headlights, mostly because they are illegal in so many places. But I guess I should be mad at the cops for that.

After that its the iPod/iTunes and everything else on MasterandCommander's list.
 
I fvcking hate cell phones. Everyone is always messing with them during class, on the train, during movies, while walking, while eating... You'd think that people would know how to silence them during lecture, but there's always someone who's phone goes off and then they act all surprised and it takes em a full minute to turn it off. A few have the balls to actually ANSWER it! Assholes.
 
I would not even know this Emo fad exists if it was not for the incessant complaining of it in this forum.
I do not believe I have even seen someone wearing this style.
It appears to be the antithesis to the typical geeky computer nerd.

EDIT: spelling 😱
