I'm only just now realising fads/trends seem to be way less strong these days.

Like, there's a 00's vibe, sort of, 10's vibe??? Maybe?

But nowhere near as strong as practically every decade before that.

Perhaps it's just there's way more variety to bandwagon now that every niche is connected around the globe.

My random thoughts for your reading.

Internet culture has very strong trends. MLG era, deepfried pictures, amongus era, whatever people on tiktok are watching (brainrot), ...

When I say strong, I mean that a trend is it dominates and defines as decade. All those things you mentioned are trends that you associate with different times, but there are far fewer things you can dress up as and people will think: ohhhh are you "from the 2000s".

They exist, just I'd argue it's not as strong as the 90s

I think the internet just caused the trend lifecycle to become much shorter. So short that they only last fractions of a decade now.

If you have something that slightly resembles an amongus astronaut as your pfp people will think: ohhh are you "from the early 2020s"

You can't dress up as it though when those trends happen over the internet.
