Everyone has a few dark secrets in their past, things they'd rather not discuss with anyone, burn pictures of evidence of them having etc.


So my question is..

What fads/trends did you follow in the past that you wish you hadn't?

Mine was flannel. Fat kid + flannel = bad news.

You?

I can't seem to remember any. I don't think I was popular enough for things like trends, not even the bad ones. But being unpopular is now a trend, so I was simply a pioneer.

Yes. xD I wasn't into that though. I was into Pokemon/Digimon.

Pokémon, I guess. Considering that I just played Diamond and Pearl when they came out, though... I'm not sure I could consider myself over it.

Neon shellsuits. The type that melted if they got too near fire.

I was heartbroken the day my shellsuit pants ripped, and I grew out of my shellsuit jacket. I was about eight at the time.

Um, when I was like 10, I coloured my hair orange and wore a leather jacket to school. What I didn't realize at the time was that the punker fad was a decade dead.

I dyed my hair red at one point, which was a terrible mistake because 1. Manic Panic is probably the worst hairdye on the planet

and 2. Because it turned pink within 2 days. So that was fun explaining to people. I went through a "punk/punker" stage myself but it only lasted long enough for me to realize how ridiculous I looked.

Thank goodness for that.

Because Lexx is totally, seriously awesome in every possible way and it should be legally required to view at least once per year?

Why would anyone regret following a fad if they enjoyed it? I get maybe regretting it if you listened to spice girls and ripped your hair out because you hated it, but if you listened to it and enjoyed it, danced to it, then regretting it is just plain silly. If you followed a fad that you didn't like then that is just silly as well. Personally, I loved every fad that I went through because at the time it made me happy :D :D :D

Smile and Be happy :love:

I had the best collection of Pokemon cards in my whole town. I'm pretty sure I had the best collection in all the surrounding villages etc too. Not include the hardcore 20 year olds who were spending hundreds on them. I was a wee lad.

Pokémon is all I can think of right now. I had Pokémon Red and a bunch of rubbish cards with a few really good ones, and LOADS AND LOADS of Pokémon toys. Like, about 30.

I had a poster with all the first gen Pokémon on, and I could recite them IN ORDER BY HEART WITHOT TRYING TO LEARN.

I've always been a hardcore Pokémon fan. I've never liked Digimon, I stayed true to my pokéroots. I was a solid believer that Digimon was a ripoff of Pokémon, although I've heard people say it was the other way round, and I'm not sure if they were really pioneers in the "MAKE STUFF FIGHT FOR YOU" genre.

...

Anyway, I was small at the time so I don't really care too much.

I had one Tamagotchi, it died ridiculously quickly.

Oh God, and does anyone remember those horrible squishy yoyos that got banned from schools because kids were seriously injuring one another? Yeah, I had about five of them.

I had a few Barbies and Barbie Horses. Fun to torture, although I never quite shaved their heads, flushed them down the loo or ripped them limb from limb. I french knitted a tail for one of the horses when hers fell out. It was very impressivve, actually.

I had two Furbies: a big one and a baby one. I LOVED MY FURBIES!

I collected Beanie Babies. I've still got them all somewhere...Actually, one of them is staring at me right now. Hello Poofie! I also collected Jelly Cats toys, but that wasn't really a fad.

I have an ancient Neopets account, a slightly less ancient Gaia account, I joined bebo and Piczo due to peer pressure and hated them both.

Thankfully, I never got into pop groups. Worst thing about the nineties, in my opinion. Especially boy bands. Urrrrgh. The Spice Girls were pretty awesome, but I didn't really like them.

(p.s. my favourite pokémon was Nidorino.)

edit:


*goes all Chris Crocker* LEAVE THE SPICE GIRLS ALONE!

LULZ. It's not nice to make fun of him. But...he is funny.

double edit: Oh, and I dunno about you, but collecting conkers in the Autumn was a very big thing for us. CONKERS WERE SERIOUS BUSINESS. We had a truly MASSIVE store under a tree at school, TRULY MASSIVE, accumulated over many years, and when we left the juniors and found out they'd gotten rid of all of them a few years later, we were gutted.

Fuck all of you who said Pokemon: I still play it. Hating Pokemon ended in 5th grade.
I still want to play Diamond >_>



I used to like Nu-Metal and wear Orange.

Yeah so did I, I remember I had this huge orange hoodie that I thought was the coolest thing ever, and these baggy baggy pants with a orange stripe down the side. And I thought I was just the coolest thing ever.

Boy am I glad that's over.

The Pokemon GameBoy games kick ass. Easily the greatest games on GameBoy, along with Mario.
