Over the decades trends have came and gone, and some lasted longer than they should have. I know I fell victim to a few on the list and im sure all of us have. There were just some things you had to have in order to fit in. Looking back I wish I was just an outsider.
Lines in your hair
Overalls
Starter Jackets
Parachute Pants (Hammer Pants)
Over Sized Scrunchies
Tight Rolled Pants
Saggy Pants
Chain Wallets
Teased Hair (Perms)
Fanny Packs
Slap Bracelets
Swatches
Rat Tail
Eastland Shoes (Pigtail Shoelaces)
Crocs
Parachute Pants and Hammer Pants were two completely different fads. Check out http://www.parachute-pants.com

Those aren't parachute pants fool. Parachute pants are the ones with all the zippers on them…do a little research first!
i don't see why all the hate for the crocs, they are comfortable, and better than sandels for protection against sun and other random things. I love my crocs, i don't give a f if its trendy or not. I wouldn't hate on them till you try them
I think people still do lines in their hair, it's more popular for girls now though.
Crocs are perhaps the worst footwear to have ever been invented. They make you look like a lesbian gardener and they've got the name “Crocs”… crock of shit more like
ok, I did a few of those things, but I dont have a time machine
I have all of those on… right now!
Never heard of pigtail shoelaces…
I hate Crocs with a passion.
Well, chained wallet is still kinda useful in some places, if your dollars don't pop out the wallet, that is.
'nyway, you've got some issues with your PHP scripts.
I see : “Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'news_author_box' was given in [script's folder path] on line 339″ Might want to turn off debugging while resolving the issue
beat me to it
It's only a matter of time before Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter get added to the list.

Thank god I am only guilty of four of those.
Wow, happy to say I never fell victim to any of those trends. Probably more as a lack of being fashionable than any real fashion sense, but still.
Actually I did none of these. No one with any class or taste would have followed such tacky trends. But people are sheep.
oh yeah and you are one classy chick carol that’s just the way it is …
Those baggy pants are still very much in. And I have yet to see anyone who does not look stupid wearing pants around their knees. And the lines in hair are still being worn. And a couple of the other fads.

Chain wallets serve a purpose. I ride a Harley and getting on and off the bike as well as shifting leg positions during rides can dislodge a regular wallet. The chain wallet diminishes the chance of losing ones money, ID, and credit cards. Of course, it should only be worn when riding.

0-15 WOOT!
How about a Deep Pocket wallet that fits in your front pocket. Never did understand carrying a wallet in my back pocket.
Claiming to have have class and taste by saying you didn't do any of those shows that you have no class or taste.

yeah well your mom is a sheep
I beg to differ…
Most fads and trends start out with “Let's see what we can get the rubes to do”. Otherwise a good number of fashion trend setters wouldn't dress so frumpy in juxtaposition to what they send down the catwalk. I've come to realize this after playing the teenybopper bit during an embarrassing age that I wouldn't want photos to be seen from.
NEVER fell victim to any of these. I feel proud of myself.
I'm with Godfather–when I'm riding, I don't have to worry about my wallet falling out on the road.
There's a use for overalls, too.
What's wrong with the Starter jackets? Those were tight.
crocs are the most stupid trend!
This is biased…we all know starter jackets were the Shiat. Faaaar from embarassing, except to Hipster snobby racist white folks…People would get robbed and shot and stabbed over starter jackets and jordans…as far as baggy pants…now its tight jeans and rainbow colored shoes…the Flamboyant agenda, its like they want more people to be gay or bi…somethin to think about…
I may be old, but Swatches were the shit.
You forgot Uggs. I fucking hate Uggs.
Well the chain wallets are less of a fad in urban areas, I´d say.
ha ha. ignore me, i suck cock
Crocs make me laugh. I agree they are comfortable but they make you look like a wannabe trendy third world peasant. They could be the most comfortable shoes in the world but the ugmo factor more than counters their comfort.
