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?
Pokémon.
Spice Girls.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD OHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAQuote:

AHAHAHAHA!!!!1
WHICH ONE DID YOU CRUSH ON!>?
Politics
I'm stuck with it for life now
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.
Yu-gi-oh... games, cards, cartoons:(
I..I still listen to them ;___;!Quote:

*goes all Chris Crocker* LEAVE THE SPICE GIRLS ALONE!
As for the topic. Britney.
pokemon like hard lol
i was like a pokemon freak back then but now im not into it anymore.
I embrace and think fondly of all the fads of my youth.
Tamagotchi, pogs, Spice Girls, Pokemon, all good stuff. :)
I was into the Spice Girls and Pokémon. I had the Pokémon trading cards and a girl power necklace. ^__^
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.
I was too cool.
SPICE GIRLS. D:
I FEEL NO SHAME!
That was the first think i thought of, i still have a posterQuote:

???????
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 planetQuote:

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?Quote:

All the ones in primary school. Damn waste of time and money. But I'll never forget the day my beyblade shattered the other guy's. That was a proud day...
I used to listen to Eminem and Britney Spears :(
Oh God, I had totally and happily forgot about Digimon...Quote:

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.
Oh that's right...
(SPOILER)I collected Star Wars Cards
I liked limp bizkit at one time.:eek:
Star Wars!
101 dalmatians & all the other disney movies. :love:
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.)

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

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