Trends - How do you feel about them?

[Savannah]

I am usually a trend-setter lol I was wearing Dr. Marten boots 2 years before they became super popular in the USA; I got an industrial piercing (barbell across ear) that inspired many others to want/get at my high school; and I was wearing vintage clothing and thrift-shopping before I was 14. I have followed a few trends, but only because they were my aesthetic at that time, such as when I wore leggings with skirts once they came back in style my 4th or 5th grade year. I just wear what I want, whether it is trend or not because if I like it, I'm going to wear it lol
So how do you feel about them? Are you a trend-setter, follower, or a bit of both?

I do a little of both I can say honestly...
When games come out... I follow and play it...

But when I find games I like, I like to create my own stuff. Over the years I've created and ran guilds, clans, groups, made mods, made games, made faqs, maps, guides, and walkthroughs, and now I make videos...

 

[Feed Us Games]

I've said I do both but in all fairness I don't like trends but on the other hand I'm a sucker for following them as we all are but I just love doing what I do and not fall into what people want me to do

 

[riganthor]

I do nothing of these options for I ignore trends

 

[Nolan Westmore]

Trends really aren't my thing. The only one I gouge in is the YouTube gaming channel hyper-trend. Otherwise, I just tend to do my own thing and when I notice more and more people are doing it, I move to something else to stay unique and myself, instead of everyone.

 

[Savannah]

I definitely feel that trends are more geared towards women when it comes to fashion, and men when it comes to gaming/sports. @riganthor, that's pretty awesome that's considered a talent in my book for sure! @Hail Kira and @Feed Us Games, I think it's all about whether it interests you or not. You both seem like the type to just do whatever makes you happy, which is good!
@Nolan Westmore, I am mostly the same way I hate following the crowd!

Trend setter all day

 

[Fourth Wall Games]

I hate trends, would prefer people do what they like rather than what others are doing!

 

[Stretch AdventureKS]

I don't really follow any trends either, not cloths, not gaming either, I just buy what I would like to wear and it should be comfortable. My mother recently bought me an armless jacket, and it's good, it is comfortable, but it feels way too cool for my tastes xD Give me a T-shirt that references a game, tv-show, anime that I like all day, something colorful over what people think are trendy.

 

[Bee]

Generally a lot of the trends that happen around here end up making me think of that "I dont want to live on this planet anymore" meme... I just do whatever and roll with it!

 

[Savannah]

I feel the same way @Bee, @Stretch AdventureKS, and @Fourth Wall Games! I think it's very important for people to do what they want, no matter what. However, if people want to follow a trend because they like it, that's cool, too
@StrafyTV, we are so cool

I don't know if I start any, but I do get told I am good at hyping stuff.

Well I did manage to start a trend at my primary school. I Had verry long hair for several years and suddenly at the last year more and more guys had long hair. Though that changed when middle school came around and well the councellor said I had to cut my hair to fit in more and my parents well they followed that advice.

If you ask me thats a bad councilor right there... They should never tell you to change the way you are just to fit in.. unless your a murderer or something... I had long hair for a long time and I don't regret it at all. I had my hair ponytailed half way down my back for my senior picture (It looked BEASTLY) and if they had told me to cut it I woulda made them feel my wrath.. Be you bro and be proud.

well she said it because my long hair made me look like a girl not even kidding at that.

I was told that hundreds of times... mostly by dad. I learned it was important to just not care what they think.. I liked it !

I don't follow trends. I don't set trends. I simply do my own thing. I am one of those sort of people who actually prefers to be unique. Even when it comes to fashion, while I may not dress up frequently, when I do ... I don't just do the normal thing. Heck, I would willingly walk around wearing cat ears as an example.

I will join you! NEKOS FTW!

So you're like a trend-pusher lol

I agree with @Bee, that counselor was AWFUL. My mom would have thrown a fit if any teacher told me something like that. I'm sorry you had to deal with that
Always be proud of who you are and do what you want (as long as you aren't hurting anyone else lol)

I totally understand; I don't even mean to be a trend-setter, it just happens for me lol. There is actually someone who either goes to my school or used to that wore cat ears and went by Neko. I heard he was an awesome dude

Kinda do both...

When it comes to games and i hear everyone talking about a certain game i get curious and buy it too.
As for clothing i followed the Hardcore music trend where i always walked in the Hardcore clothing with Nike Air Max wich i sometimes still do actually xD
