Things you hope will decline in popularity

Guys wearing their pants halfway to their knees, with their underwear showing, and having to walk bow legged to keep their pants from falling on the ground

face tattoos of scary knives and skulls
guns

flip flops
rudeness
red light runners

I could go on.Not a big fan of the human race right now.

Right there with you, but in my flip flops.

Trophy kids.... Who cares that ur kid is the best nose wiper in his class!

People with no discernible talent or skills becoming famous. I'll invoke GDD here: I can't even.

Prom-posals

Absolutely!!!! (And I'm hoping this fad ends before my DS is a senior.)

Obesity epidemic

Oooh, another good one!

 

[StlJoe]

People acting as if ignorance is a virtue.

The glorification of ignorance and conformity and vilification of intelligence and diversity.

Can't agree with this enough.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it wrong!

Helicopter parenting

the helicopter parents are being replaced by 'lawnmower parents' who don't just hover; they step out in front of their kids and clear a path, smoothing over any rough patches before their children even encounter them.

Yeah, I fail to see how GDD became so famous here considering his lack of discernible talent or skills.

My niece specializes in mirror selfies with duck lip face on Facebook. I'll be so glad when she outgrows that -- she's in her mid-20's, so it's time.

I know some women in their 40s who take daily duck lip and mirror selfies

gender reveal parties

Yes! I'll place a bet though that in 10 years, not only will gender reveal parties be alive and well, but the ante will be upped by pregnancy reveal parties. Actually, that might be more interesting than the gender reveal, I'm sure there would be a range of reactions, and it would be fun to see under what guise they throw the party. Also there would be no "do I or don't I bring a gift??" if you don't know ahead of time that it's a pregnancy reveal

Sheer clothing. I just don't get it. Why wear something if it covers nothing? And often it just looks bad.

I would also like to see some sense of modesty come back. Leave something to the imagination. Let there be some mystery. Everybody does not need to see your everything!

If they'd just stop selling those cheap, see-through yoga pants every high school girl wears to school, I'd be grateful. It's hard to walk up stairs with my eyes closed so I don't see body stuff I really shouldn't be able to see.

That trend came and left here, where's it still popular?

GDD is quite famous to those of us that appreciate his shenanigans.

Different strokes for different folks and all that

Germ-o-phobia....you can't even sneeze in public without getting looks anymore

Socks and sandals...never in my wildest dreams would I have thought this would extend beyond old men.
