Fads

Some fads suck: sagging pants. Some are just cool: Pokemon. And some are just over the top: See the 80's.

Fads can be pretty cool especially if you are on the bandwagon at just the right time. Even better if you were hip before it was hip, which kinda makes you part of the legendary cool crowd. And of course there are the masters who start the fad in the first place. Only to ride the wave once or twice in their life time, it just can't get any better.

I don't mind fads too much because I can get in on them and give it a new uniqueness that. The fact that everyone can grasp on to one thing, call it cool, and enjoy the moment is fantastic. Sure there are the downsides to fads which causes them to be temporary, but that moment of cool is something no one will ever forget.

It almost makes me wonder what the new fad will be.
