I like funky headlights and taillights and phat chrome dubs (that’s 20" wheels), and frankly, I’m not sure it’s a trend that’s going anywhere soon. The new Nissan Altima which features those new clear cover lights is selling phenomenally, as does the Lexus RX300.
As for big wheels, some people, in fact most people, buy the BMW X5 because they want to ride high, look good for the opposite sex, and attract attention, not for offroading. Believe it or not, that X5 with the absurdly large wheels is going to net some seriously fine women for its owner, so the flashy adornments do have a function after all. Hey we’re just taking a cue from nature, have you ever seen some of the shit animals will do to get laid?
But anyway, sorry for the hijack; the trend I would like to see die off is definitely Bubble Gum Pop (engineered love songs, lip-synced by over produced aerobic instructors), bleh and double bleh.

Another one I have a problem with. Why do people have such a problem accepting Hip Hop as a legitimate genre of music. I don’t dig country but I realize it is music and understand that it’s not going anywhere.
If you care to hear my explanation as to why hip hop is not a fad, and is most certainly music check here
Over-paid, over-pampered celebs exhorting the rest of us to support their pet ‘good’ cause or even give money to it. This is especially galling when it is hard not to notice a smudge of hypocrisy has crept into the rallying cry. Gee, Mr. four homes on as many continents, so relieving world poverty and eliminating inequality is important to you, huh?
Reality game shows. It was fun at the start. We’ve seen it. New idea now please.
Popular singers appearing on TV shows and miming. Look, the only thing they’re supposed to be good at is making a nice sound with their mouth. If you’re going to fake that part of it, what’s the point?
I say-those stupid pantyhose caps-especially the one with the little veil in the back.
Backwards visors
Guys in pants 30 sizes too big, and a teeshirt 15 sizes too big
Ball caps
Porn Star and Princess shirts
thong undies
the nipples showing look
spiky bleached hair on guys
Personally, I’ll be glad to see end of all the petty political sniping that goes on here. (I don’t care if you think Dubya’s an idiot or if Clinton was horrible because he let Monica show him her “Hoover vacuum” impersonation.) Attack either one you want, but have some specific reason for doing so that relates to policy! Not just some general, “He’s a wanker.” comment.
Capri pants? Is that what those stupid high water britches are called??
I’m not talking about the knee knockers, the one that come just over the knee, I guess I can deal with those…but the pants that come right above the ankles, the one that looked like
they shrunk in the dryer…
How could these people be so unaware of what they look like???
Did they not look from behind in a mirror???
If only those women knew what they really looked like wearing them.
They are STUPID GROSS and just plain UGLY.
Your rough,red ,knarly, nasty,bony, dried out,split and cracked ankles and heels are so
disgusting…
I want to grab them and shake them and tell them ,"YOU IDIOT WOMAN!! I GUESS YOU WOULD PROBABLY WEAR A DIAPER OUT IN PUBLIC IF SOMEBODY SAID THEY WERE IN STYLE!!! "
SLAP/SLAP
abercrombie and fitch…american eagle…other such brands that charge $40 for a shirt that lasts less than a year…
o and also those people who see “the fast and the furious” and see those hondas which had custom built REALLLLLY nice engines in the movie…and then go out and buy a stock honda civic, slap a huge spoiler on it, and put a huge “H” decal on the back and think they’re badass, just like the guys in the movie.
Okay, I’m missing what is so significant about the “Beckham” haircut. It looks to me like someone just cut their hair really short. Where I come from, that’s called a “butch”, and it’s way older than this Beckham chap. The military is said to be very fond of it.
I have never known a woman (in my thirty years on this planet as one) who has been attracted to a man because of his car.
Hey! those are the only comfortable undies we have!
That David Beckham haircut just looks like a short crew cut to me. shrug Ugly, yes, but it’s been around since forever.
I’m hoping for the size 400 pants on a 98lb preteen look to go out of style. My god, those look stupid.
I’m also hoping for the end of chunky-heeled women’s shoes. A 4" tall heel should taper to a small point, not flare out to a freaking BRICK! Give me stillettos any day.
Yes, the repetition is definitely part of it, but I was making reference to the type of music being played. Namely: Britney Spears, *NSync, Backstreet Boys and whatever other corporate fostered fake bands they play. I find it a little disturbing that all of the popular stations in our area are owned by the same company who basically has the power to dictate what music we listen to.
Then again, I never liked pop music anyway, so maybe I’m just acting like an old fart.
