What Is Something That Is Really Popular Now, But In 5 Years Everyone Will Look Back On And Be Embarrassed By?

Question

Screenwriter · Accepted Answer

Those horrible dresses with the sleeves that have holes at the shoulders! They were a comeback of some earlier 1950s dresses and I am still wondering how they were EVER a thing. Just as ugly as ever.

Crocs. They feel awful on your feet, like they're covered in slime. If your feet sweat, they feel slippery. Ugh.

Grills. There were always versions of grills: just ordinary, showy gold teeth. But the addition of diamonds and excessively large braces to add MORE gold to your teeth and jewelry so your mouth can't close properly!!! Holy shit, how is that practical? Doesn't it hurt?

Do you want your front teeth to look like an overdecorated car grill?

OK. I guess you do.

Specific trends; Cringe 90s fashion, someone having an Onlyfans , later to regret it (the internet is forever), long nails especially the ones that look like claws 🤢😷, inflation - people will complain and say how much better it was 5 years ago, specific cosmetic procedures (fox eye lifts, fillers etc) gone wrong and wonder why they messed with their beautiful features only to look like aliens👽 & now they can't stop, certain apps will no longer exist - the embarrassment of people knowing you were on those apps haha... I can think of many but these will do for now.

I'm just glad that duckface and selfie sticks are a thing of the past.
My current peeve is people who use this word "simp".
I am at the point where I wouldn't even feel bad about punching one of those people in the throat right about now.

Wokeness

Cancel Culture/Mob Justice

Voting for Joe Biden (if you hate Trump, you should've just not voted at all than to do worse)

NFT's (digital "certifications" for artwork; they're a complete joke)

OnlyFans

Ez-Bri-Z · Answer

I mean, isn't it the one that seems to be universal to every decade which is fashion and hairstyles? Look how we cringe at what we did the previous decade with styling. I know people are saying tik tok but generally we don't cringe when we think of past platforms we broadcast to, we just move on from them. We do actively look back at our photos and say "wow I can't believe I thought that used to look good" and show off our embarrassing yearbook and drivers license photos.

AliceTheNguyener · Answer

Honestly a whole bunch of tiktok trends which are peddled by mostly edgy morons. An example would be the disgusting coronavirus challenge that went on for a bit:  Ew why?

MasseurDeMojo · Answer

Tic Toc is very popular by the youth of today, and they do very dumb, and dangerous challenges; many have died because of it. The other thing id the major move to destroy men's masculinity. It will bite women hard, when they start looking for a boyfriend or a husband, and no man will have the desire to be with them. Many are already seeing men avoiding them today, and are asking why.

Novacane · Answer

Anime: in particular Naruto, its become so popular now that people use it as hype now, back when I use to watch it people would make fun of me and maybe call me a nerd, till this day I still like it even got a tattoo of it but it's crazy how I came from a time people would get roasted for that.

mk200195 · Answer

For the love of all things good, SNAPCHAT and SELFIES drive me insane. What is the point of incessently taking grainy photos of yourself in unattractive poses and then doodling all over it with awful “special effect filters”? As a youth, I refrain from indulging in these narcissistic practices, and hope my generation will soon realize their folly.

hannahjo022 · Answer

TikTok especially dancing, makeup hacks, or any hacks. Filtering pics to look perfect, onlyfans, high rise bikini bottoms (tanning line is horrible), and women having the ideal body (women have different body shapes and why can't all women body shapes be accepted?)

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

Probably the oversharing on social media. I see some people's posts and think, "WTF, that is personal, this isn't The Jerry Springer Show, get that off of social media!" Of course, those people typically have no shame and don't typically grow to be embarrassed at the thought of airing their dirty laundry publicly, either.

Probably any sort of social media trend or "challenge" that is pretty stupid as well, or some of the Tik Tok crap.

Lionman95 · Answer

I think different trends on tik-tok. I still don´t know what to think of this app. There are many videos that might be funny to watch but for me it say´s a lot about the culture that people aren´t capable of listening for more than 50seconds anymore.
There are so many trends where I don´t know what to say and what makes people take can do without embarrassing themselves.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Hopefully, rap, pop princesses, wearing your pants with the waist band around your knees, believing that EVERYTHING is racist and Trump is the anti-christ, believing that Biden is the saviour and will make things better than how Trump let them, being a member of blm or antifa.
