Well, I wear boxer briefs because I like some support. But tight pants just put extra strain when I sit. Very uncomfortable
The whole hipster photographer scene jumping on instagram lately. I'm okay if they do something creative, but everyone does this FUCKING PICTURE: [IMG]https://scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/t31.0-8/11149189_10153188795151622_9156911584335146476_o.jpg[/IMG] The 'hold your iphone in camera mode' is every fucking where with instagram scene kids.
[QUOTE=ichiman94;48304857]Gangsta my ass rap with kids talking about bitches & money and what life really is. And pop music with the same fucking content of romantic interests and shit I don't care about. Songs that are repetetive as a broken vinyl player in clubs with the same dramatic effects and mix downs applied, same vengeance drum samples used, and all this shit is on the radio. This is why I don't listen to this mass media fad machine.[/QUOTE] :speedfap: Right brother? We were just born in the rong generation, I think! These kids nowadays know justin and nikki, but I bet they don't even know who Freddie Mercury is. Meanwhile they think they know what punk is, but probably haven't ever even heard a Nirvana record. I listen to real music like Led Zeppelin and Queen. I think was born like 20 years too late.
[QUOTE=Katatonic717;48314760]The trend of hyper simple logo design. I mean simplistic can be good if it's clever. Here look at this [img]http://springsbargains.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Baskin-Robbins-Logo.png[/img] The pink shapes in the BR spell out 31, the number of flavors of icecream they advertise having. So while it's more simple it's also very clever and works well. But then you got this shit [img]http://www.officialpsds.com/images/thumbs/Microsoft-Windows-Logo-2-psd87390.png[/img] No I don't fucking care if each color of square represent each product you make. What the hell was wrong with the logo you had with XP to 7 or the one from 95 to ME? Those represented the same thing but were also unique. This is just 4 fucking squares. I could make this in 5 seconds in ms paint. At least when it had the flag shape it fucking looked like something.[/QUOTE] they DID make it in 5 seconds in MS Paint who do you think microsoft is

They're so bland you could mash them together and not tell anything apart.
Fucking Arby's and their stupid ass commercials. "LOOK LOOK BACON OH SO MAJESTIC BACON, IS THAT BACON ON A SANDWICH TOO? OOOH LAWDY A BACON SANDWICH! THIS ORGASMIC BLEND OF MEAT ALL ROLLED INTO ONE" "Arbys, we have the meats! ®"

It has always been there and always will be. Music getting played on the radio isn't a trend either because surprise surprise, radio stations usually pick specific genres to play to attract certain crowds of listeners. Radio stations also usually have to play more generic music because more people are going to be willing to listen to it than technical-black-anarchist-fusion-sludge metal.[/QUOTE] :goodjob: You all got the wrong assumptions. I never said I hate specific genres, and I don't hate every music made lately. I don't even think I was born in the wrong generation and I don't listen to "technical-black-anarchist-fusion-sludge metal", it's all bullshit. Now stop posting :hurr: about me you trolls, thank you.
1) Parallax website design ..and 2) People starting their responses to questions with "So, ..."
Selfie-sticks. They just look ridiculous, especially when tourists are using them. I bet the guy who patented them thought they were kinda foolish, but realized how much money it would bring him. Well he's probably diving into piles of gold by now.

My facebook is full of these #dontjudgechallenge thingys I don't see the point in smearing shit on your face then cleaning it up to show how pretty you are. Anybody know the real point in it?
I can't stand people who brag about not owning a TV and act as if they are intellectually superior to you because of it.
selfies
The word "feels" in place of "feelings," or rather "emotional." I'm perfectly okay with other slang and word-shortenings, but for some reason that one in particular pisses me off.

[QUOTE=ImpSnob;48316307]"I don't know this "Kenya East" person(sorry if I got that name wrong xD) I don't own a TV."[/QUOTE] I think most of those people are talking about how they ditched their TV in favor of netflix and other ways of acquiring media. At least that's what it is for me, I can't stand TV. [QUOTE=SilverDragon619;48313804]I think NiceGuys™ is going a bit overboard. Grown up dudes are still trying to use the dating tips given by HowCast, then they cuss the girl out for rejecting them.

The "I'm not a fascist I'm a (x)" crowd. Mainly people who try to skirt the fact that their outdated, racist, backwards and ultimately ineffective ideologies aren't compatible with modern ideas. People who do this regularly cover themselves with the title of one or mroe of the following: [quote] • Rexist • Absolutist • Reactionary • Syndicalist • Falangist and most hilariously, Third Position[/quote]
I'm not sure if you'd call this a trend, but Anarchists piss me off. Yes, the government isn't great, and yes, it could be better, and yes, people with power are corrupt. But guess what? A society with no leader will be forever indecisive at best and completely chaotic at worst. There's a reason we invented government structure and it wasn't (just) because one person wanted to tell everyone else what to do. These idiots don't know the first thing about human psychology if they think everyone will smile and go "yep, I like a system that's basically communism without the dictator; my service to the society is its own reward!"

That Anarchist is torching a building? No, no, no! Not all Anarchists are like this!" I know this isn't with all Anarchists, but the ones I've come across did almost the exact thing.

Also IDK if syndicalist counts as outdated and racist from my understanding, from what I know it's a form of socialism where trade unions come together to form some semblance of a central authority (gotta be careful with my wording so them anarchists don't get pissy) to coordinate things like mass production.

Even at it's peak during the early 20th century "countries" that gave it a try (CNT spain, and the ukraine free state) were relatively small on the global scale.
