Huge Trends No One Talks About Anymore


Times change, and that's probably for the best. The past few decades have seen the rise and fall of clear cola, kids wearing their clothes backwards, and a strange assortment of stupid catch-phrases. While this is all stuff that was kind of flash-in-the-pan, there's tons of other stuff that has been around for way longer than people think.

Simpler times.

Text - gozba 11.2k points · 2 days ago Flash mobs. I miss the awkwardness of school teachers and office managers to entice others to join. othybear 5.4k points · 2 days ago My boss made us do this one year, as a kind of bucket list for herself before she retired. I had scheduled the day off since it was my birthday so I was hoping I had a gracious out to skip it. Instead, she told me if I came for the flash mob I'd get the rest of the day off with pay and I wouldn't have to use a vacation day. I

Text - LittlestSlipper55 9.5k points · 2 days ago · edited 2 days ago LMFAO. LMFAO may be a total trainwreck of a music group, but they were also everywhere in 2011-2013. You couldn't turn on the radio without hearing "I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!" played five times in the span of 30 minutes, and "PARTY ROCKERS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT!" was a line scream-sung at any night club.

Text - gibbsge 1.5k points · 2 days ago S Yik yak Nikflame 643 points · 2 days ago Yik Yak was the shit. Everyone knew what was going on on campus within seconds. People within the same classes used it to shit-talk professors and cheat on tests. It's too bad people had to ruin it with death- threats and such which kind of forced Yik Yak to make it non-anonymous, killing the appeal it had in the first place. As a commuting student at the time it was key for me to keep up with the happenings and d

Text - br34kf4s7 9.3k points · 2 days ago A 2 2 4 3 8 3 I'll never forget the summer Pokémon Go came out. Everybody and their grandparents were playing it, all the parks were full of people just talking and meeting each other. I hate to sound boomer-y but it made me remember what life was like before smartphones, which is ironic I guess because an app made it happen. I wish more technology had the goal of getting people active and outside and interacting with others.

Text - Jaegek 7.5k points · 2 days ago S Furbies, absolutely needed to have one and when it woke up in the middle of the night I was over it. The_Titam 2.4k points · 2 days ago S 3 2 So I finally get to tell this story. I had a furby as a kid. The thing learned my name. You also could not turn them off so it would randomly talk throughout the day and night. It's batteries started to die so it sounded weird to say the least. So one night, at ~3am, I'm about Seven years old. I hear, in this demoni

People don't remember how HUGE maxim magazine was back in the day. Like from 1999 to 2002 it was universally loved by young men.
