Generally speaking, everyone follows a trend. It may not be the most popular trend, but still a trend.

Chalk it up to no imagination and wanting to be considered "cool."

its not bad to follow trends. if you dont like it but you just do it to be cool, you can say its superficial but they are some people that like something that is a trend but dont do it because they think its cool to not do something that everyone is doing. they are also superficial.DMRaMeX

Attention? To be cool? To get noticed by the opposite sex? Could be one from many reasons.
