    Default Fads of the Past

    Name and describe any fads within the past 25 years. Personally, I remember the piercing craze back in the late 90's, complimented with the bleaching of hair.

    Pokemon, Tamagotchis, Yo-Yos and those rubber bands.

    In my school we have new things every week. I think at the minute its the B'Oranges who are competing to see who can get away with the shortest skirt for school (You know, the girls who have Orange faces?) and us so-called "Goths" (which in Chav terms is anyone who likes Rock music) are wearing these pink headbands with a bow on them ^_^ [Pink headband with Bow]

    Those bands with 'Life Strong' etc seem to have just disappeared. I still wear my 'Play Music' one though. 'Scoobies' were huge in my school too.

    Yes, along with the f*** bracelets (unless those are the rubber bands), and those stretchy bracelets with the pretty coloured milky beads on them and scrunchies and those bracelets that you could straighten, and if you slapped your wrist with one, it'd curl around your wrist. Slap bracelets?

    Pog.

    It was Pog, right? This little poker chip-like things that you stored in big tubes? I think that's what they were called.

    Teenage Mutant Hero/Ninja Turtles.

    Best fad ever.

    The 80's cartoon (based on the fad) was indeed called "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles". Perhaps this wasn't violent enough, so they changed it to "Ninja Turtles" a few months later.

    I remember those. It was like a skip-it or something? I had one that took score on how many skips you made over the hoop.

    permed hair.

    man I hated that.

    also, hot colors. Hot pink, neon green, etc. I remember my sister explaining why hot pink was better than normal pink.
