Cool trends that faded out

[wonderwort]

Four to five years ago......the razor bike was the coolest thing around.

Two to three years ago poker was ALL THE RAGE.

Around 15 years ago Snapple beverage was all the rage.

When I was a kid during the mid eighties roller derby was the rage and all the cool kids collected "Garbage pail kids stickers"

List cool trends that faded out.......whatever generation you are . Im part of generation X

In the early to mid eighties it was the coolest thing for men and women to wear the tightest jeans they can fit into.

Too bad I was too young to enjoy that trend.

Where were you 5 years ago when that trend came back?

Damn........missed that trend too......

Trends are for sheeple. I was glad to see the back of all of the abovementioned (except classic cars... love those, though I wouldn't own one).

Well, if we could have the argyle-everything trend back, I wouldn't mind. I like argyle.

Over ten years ago i remember Sunny D would line your supermarket shelves, now not so much.



Also in the 80's there was bum bags and shell suits. But they were never cool....

Those annoying giga pets. Every kid in school had one. Always beeping during class. I remember girls crying when theirs died. FMchildhoodL

I still have maybe 200 Garbage Pail Kids cards. They are funny!

Here's a good list: http://crazyfads.com/

I think the best fad was streaking. Very popular in the spring of 1974.

Those would be from the 50s. They just never went out of style.

Neither did Hula Hoops and Lego blocks.

Eehh... kickboards/scooters are still in today. Every kid has one and sometimes you see an infantile adult riding them.

Also in the 80's there was bum bags and shell suits.

We used to call them 'fanny packs' even when people wore then at the front. They were convenient, though. They gave you an excuse to look:

True. I miss landau roofs, velour interiors, and white wall tires.

Not to mention the button tufted leather seats that had about a foot of stuffing in them that were more comfortable that the couch in the house. And when you said a car had either that Lincoln Ride or Cadillac Ride - it meant hours of pleasurable comfortable motoring. Oh yeah - and if you were above 6 feet tall - you could still sit anywhere in the car and be comfortable. Try that now in a Honda Civic.

Around five years really big trucks were all the rage.

Around eight years ago...krispy kreme Donuts were the hottest thing around

I do remember a time.....when EVERYBODY had a myspace page.
