Anyone remember pogs? Or slap bracelets. God, in middle school everyone had those, and anyone who didn't was a loser. Now you can't even find them anymore, like they fell into a pit or something.

There have been so many quick fads, what do you think were the dumbest ones?
 
It has gone away yet, but the Ricer fad is the dumbest one IMO. I will be happy to see three wing circus cars w/ fart pipes disappear.

Later,


Steve.
 
ha

Damn, i remember pogs, i used to have one maid out of bicycle chain :D . I was glad to see tamigachi digital pet things die.
 
OLD FADS: Pet rocks, Cabbage patch kids, Wavy hands in car windows. WWF Wrestlemaina 10,000.

CURRENT FADS I like to se go away: The magnetic ribbons on cars, NY Yankees, RAP, BLING BLING WHEELS
 
boy bands:p Maybe not so much a "fad", but it seemed like there was new one every week

Ad in the phrase "bling bling". I can't wait for that sh*t to die out. Stupidest saying ever.
 
Hypercolors shirts, stonewashed jeans, the big wave bangs, men with perms....
 
I had a buddy in HS that only wore those "Zuma" pants. Ya know, those ones that are all extra big and baggy with the crazy patterns. Man did those things suck. Every once in awhile I see someone wearing those, and I always wonder how they get clothes to last that long. They stopped making them like forever ago.
 
Past: Mullets

Current: Hub Cap version of the spinning wheels. It's like every Mexican in Springfield has a toyota corrola with plastic spinning hub caps. They always hang out at the laundry mat. And of course at the welfare office. bastards:mad:

The current fad that REALLY needs to die is the belief amongst so many people that the rims are THE most important thing about a car. It used to be that you'd see dumb kids all day long who had a $1500 stereo system in a $300 car....nowadays, the $300 car has $1500 rims.



....your car says so much about who you are.
 
Old fad that needs to stay dead - "Baby on Board" signs. Maybe the dumbest fad ever.

Current fad that needs to die soon - Those yellow wristband things. They are looking more and more retarded every day.

Fad I wish would make a comeback - Streaking. :cool:
 
a few CAR fads...

shackles --everyone just HAD to have 15" long leaf-spring shackles in the old days (even me, they were a great place to hang a half dozen 'bullet' lights)....they were great! --for bending your springs the wrong way!

Standing up the old Chevelles on their noses with Hi-Jackers...you could almost stand up under the back bumper, and aiming the headlights must've been a trick!

Low-riders with bicycle tires (or are they still doing that?)

3-hole blower hood scoops with no blower under 'em (under a pair of 4bbls on a tunnel-ram, that can slide)

Rolls Royce Beetles

ANY beetles...(except the BEATLES )

;)
 
BABY ON BOARD & other stupid sayings posted on suction cup signs on your car windows.

SWATCH Watches. So f'n gay it wasn't funny

Z CAVARICCI Pants...

BREAK DANCING


CURRENT FADS THAT NEED TO DIE:

WEST COAST CHOPPER CRAP
O.C.C. CRAP
Spinning hubcaps--- "they spinnin' ni@#a, they spinnin!!" -Chris Rock....
Fart Can Exhaust...
 
Fads that died and needed to
-Mc Hammer
-Mc Hammer's pants
-pokemon
-The "dude you're getting a dell" dude

Fads that need to die
-Yugi-o, pokemon and all those other cards (except crack:the addiction, the original and still the best =)
-fart cans (need any more be said by anyone)
-crazy mofos on crotch rockets (they'll take care of themselves eventually)
-"bling" rims "fo sho"
-to go with above the tires that are about a 1/4 inch thick on the above 35 inch bling rims.
-OCC/Harley/WCC stuff. The exception being of course if you actually have a motorcycle.
-idiots who are gonna "get their glock" but have never even seen one in person much less shot one.
-"Pyros" who do it because it improves the image they percieve people have of them, rather then because they enjoy fire.
-punching a hole in your muffler to get a more aggressive sound. In my day this meant you were too damn poor to replace your rusted out muffler on your ****box.
-those redneck dual tail pipes that people run.

As you can tell I listened to Carlin's "free floating hostility" today :D

I dont know if it went down everywhere else but the big thing for awhile (in about the 9th grade) was to pinch the slack out of the bottom of the pants leg and cuff it up. Usually this was done with deck shoes and no socks. GHEY...

This was known as tightrolling your jeans. Yeah, it was gay.

I can't wait till all this O.C.C. and West Coast Chopper crap dies too. I wish dumb ass rednecks knew how dumb it is to wear the OCC hat, shirt, and jacket plus have all the stickers on your $300 truck, and not even know how to ride a bike let alone afford to own one. Thats why I hate Wal Mart, every time you go in there theres 100 inbred hicks sporting their newest "chopper" gear, and they are always buying like 3 cases of beer, 2 cartons of cigs, and a pack of diapers.
 
Anything to do with with OCC, West Coast Choppers, and all this Harley Bandwagon nonsense. What is with these people who have never even rode a bike slapping HD decals all over everthing they own.

Oh and all this John Deere crap. These punk kids running around with a JD shirt, hat, and everything else under the sun and probably don't even own a lawn tractor! :mad:
