    I know that people may say it isn't a trend, but let's be honest - how many people on your Facebook have you seen do this? (That's exactly what I thought!)

    Those big geeky glasses that everyone wears. Some people who wear them don't even need glasses, they just have empty frames. It just shows a complete lack of originality.

    She's supposed to have a vintage film camera!

    I hate trends, just wear what you want to wear
    Wear a plastic mack and khaki braces over a tartan print thong, if you want to! Not that I er, know many people who do this anyway (definitely not me) :awesome:

    Yes! However, on the flip side there is act of accusing people of following trends because what they actually want to wear coincides with one.

    Buying big cameras and claiming your passion is in photography.
    Taking pictures of grass at strange angles and uploading it to facebook doesn't make you a professional photgrapher.
    Claiming Jack Wills makes you posh. I was speaking to someone in English and they said "I bought a new Jack Wills Polo", I was like "Why? There are lots of other nice brands." they replied "Cus' Jack Wills is expensive and it makes me posh." :facepalm: a posh person wouldn't buy clothes to look posh, nor would they buy JW.
    Multicoloured chinos.
    Polo shirts with the top button done.
    Wearing hoodies and putting your hand in the pockets and pulling down.
    Calling upon a group of people "Yes boys", we're not in a football tam ffs.
    Annoying rock fans - I love Rock and will go on about it all day. I will constantly write about how rubbish mainstream is and how much I love going to see "death poisen" (Generic shi*ty name).
    Wearing vans - do you skate? No you hate on skaters so why wear them?!
    generic pub shots of people huddled together and showing their beer towards the camera. Seriously wtf it doesn't make you cool that you can drink lager.

    People who wear snapbacks but don't have a clue what team or sport it represents.

    Generally, people who wear snapbacks.

    Girls who dye their hair letterbox red then shove it up in a messy "top knot" bun. Ew. Chavy hairware for the indiscriminate lady.

    On the language tip again :

    Seemingly not being able to constructively criticise anything without being accused of being "jealous" nowadays. We're not all pathetic 4 year old spoilt kids.

    On the same tip - that stupid phrase "jealous much?" that people are suddenly starting to say. Do they realise how stupid this makes them sound?

    Also, the flinging around of the word "Genius" for anyone who has a slight modicum of talent. They're not a flippin genius, they're just a little bit handy.

    Oh and while I'm on a grumpy tip - those airy fairy wet drippy indie style pop songs where the song ends with the band dropping out and just left hanging on the vocal singing the last few notes. It's overdone like the vocoder.
    And on the same tip, same songs - middle class kids singing middle class songs (nothing wrong with that per se) but then breaking into some kind of fake North London accent for a few seconds, usually involving very contrived glottal stops.

    From all the responses I think we can conclude that we all just hate whatever's in fashion :lol:

    Isn't that a trend in itself



    But no, I argee with much of this thread. Chinos, purposefully vintage looking clothing, fashionable guy scarfs knotted around your neck that aren't for warmth, most kinds of hat (excluding caps which have practical uses). Jack Wills, Abercrombie, Hollister, Henleys. Oh I could go..

    I guess that explains why I barely buy clothes, I hate everything

    The one that's always annoyed me -- almost made my blood boil -- is "allow this", as in meaning "stop this". Example:

    *I stamp on your foot*
    Allow stamping on my foot!

    You're saying the opposite of what you want to say! :mad:
