Stupid Trends in America # 2

I posted a similar thread a while back, here's the next one.

************

There's a lot of trends out there that I personally cannot stand, sometimes I just have to sit back and wonder "why in the heck are they doing this"? Here's some trends I cannot stand and wish were gone.

1. Flat brim hats, jeez I cannot stand these. These are mostly worn by the rapper and hip-hop crowd, as well as many high school students that see drinking and doing drugs as "cool". Some of these hats are rather square looking with a short flat brim. Its even worse when people wear these and just set them on the top of there head, so its just barely on there head.

2. Rap: Pretty much the most annoying music I have ever listened to and for some reason its popularity continues to grow. Many of these songs talk about rape, violence, and drug use as if its perfectly fine, sadly so do many of its listeners. Not all of these songs discuss this content, but the vast majority do and tend to be the more popular ones.

3. Preppy Humor T-Shirts: Such as the ones by Abercrombie, they charge $25-$35 for shirts that say "I could be your worse mistake", or "I'll make you an all star". These are very popular among the "cool" and "preppy" popular kids, Abercrombie and American Eagle excel at making these shirts.

4. Abercrombie: Enough said, why so many people pay $80 for a ripped pair of worn looking jeans is beyond me.

5. Myspace: I know there's a lot of normal people on myspace but probably 75%+ are the drinking and or rap routy teen/ college crowd who are just following this ever growing fad. I'm personally very happy to never of had a myspace account.

Mmm, I'll give this thread a 0/10 for thinking that rap only really talks about rape, sex, drugs, ect.. and thinking that the listeners think that they're all okay.

Hey, I listen to rap and I hate drugs, I know rape is wrong, and I believe sex should only be between two people who really love each other.

And the reason why the popularity of rap is still growing is the fact that everyone is not you. 

Putting body and exhaust kits on beat up Civics and Neons because people watched too much Fast and the Furious. People with sub-woofers in their cars, blasting music while they drive through my neighborhood. The "emo" hair cut where they comb their hair over their eye. That's about all I can think of at the moment.firebird23

I agree, those are some good ones. It nearly hurts my eyes to see a Honda Civic with a giant steel spoiler attached to it.  

For some reason... I don't predict this ending well, was version #1 that you made locked by any chance?double_decker

Maybe,lol. I know it will cause a lot of arguments and debate.

I see those hats everywhere at my school, I live in L.A the rap scene is big there. Seriously almost all the rap hip hop reggeaton fans wear those hats along with those stupid shirts with bugs bunny and tazz looking all gangster with bling bling and such.

Thread creator: You are so right! i would add much more to the list, but you've got a great start there.  I am also happy to announce that I have never had a myspace account.  Mysape will be used as a tool of evil at the end of the world.  Count on it.

Here are a few things to add to the list:

• The word trippin' .  The most annoying word now in use today, mostly by the rap-inspired people. "No girl I aint trippin'". We be trippin. You trippin' foo.
  
• Depressing sounding rock music. Why? It seems every single band now is about faking sad emotions to be "cool" and is attracting more and more people to join this fakeness. (Atreyu, My Chemical Romance)
• Rappers wearing crucifix neclaces. The single stupidest thing anyone can do. Wearing a Christian symbol to somehow look "cool". It makes no sense at all knowing they're sinning their asses off.
• Street racing things getting attached to everyday cars. It's ridiculous. I've seen tons of sedans with spoilers put on them (mostly crappy cars, since they can't afford anything better) yet to look "cool". Along with rims put on the cheap cars to make it look like a rapper's car.

Wow. Just wow. I shall enlighten you.

This is "Paging Dr. Moon Or Gun" by Themselves. A rap group.

how'd they break it to you?
you've got cancer of the hope.

did you cry?
did you make yourself sick?
did you paint your mirror shut?

oh, that dr. moon or gun,
why, he tells you you're dead
like he just told you the time
and you ate down to your pit
so you could rap and rap...

you were out scoping bridges and boosting tanks
and so you missed the call
it was a false laugh alarm.
you had comedic cancer
a funny skinny cancer of the pants
and why it's something to really quick and go out and have some kids about
or even to go see branden and ask about a book about
and i haven't even had that first worst movie yet
and i still ain't had that first small heart attack yet
and i still ain't go no driver's license...

all in my outrageously b. don coscerelli dreams.

Oh, and here's a rap video that doesn't have girls, smoke, or any of that stuff in it.

Why?-Afterschool America 

What about living for video games, hating anything popular and being anti-social?

oh, hi gamespot.

Haha, yeah I am, the Rubber Traits video is insane.

Rap and myspace most annoying stuff

they both suck

It's funny because everyone who says the thread sucks pertains to these fads.GodLovesDead

rap music isnt a fad. 

I have nothing against drugs and sex, and don't see why anyone would.danteswrath2000

Wow, strange world you live in. Since when was doing drugs considered ok or cool? I mean, Tylenol and Pepto-Bismol are all fine, but any heavier than that and it's just stupid... 

Seems like a lot of people dislike this thread, I sense the haters incorporate one or more of these stupid trends into their everyday lives. jd7-03

They're stupid in your opinion, just like this thread is stupid in mine. Well thats more like a fact... And rap is not a trend; and its certainy not all about violence and all that other bad stuff you described. Open your ears and mind, and stop being so damn ignorant.  

I agree with everything you said....also I HATE all those gay jacketts that look like the kids stole them from a 1800's british marching band all the emo kids have been wearingUnknownSniper65

add wearing girls pants to that list too...
