Dying and new trends
It seems as if every month there is a new trend. But with every new trend there comes a dead one. In the Merchants of Cool things are considered cool if they are not well known. They are cool right up till the point where everyone starts to know about it. I believe that this holds a lot a truth. People may feel a certain way about something because they think that whatever it is is so cool and that no one knows about it. But once people start to lose their feelings towards what the new trend is, it isn't cool. The new trend right now that I could say is the fidget spinner. I am sure that this will not be a trend for that much longer. Personally I never thought it was cool, but i know that other kids do think that. In about a week or so or month once those get enough exposure then I am sure they wont find it as cool anymore. Everything is not here to stay and that's why this is just a trend.
In my opinion cool is just another way of saying that the unknown is becoming known. It's like a new discovery, a secret. That secret is special when shared/trusted to a small group of people. When it is out to everyone it isn't so special anymore.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you have stated. When trends come they seem to come out of no where and when trends die people seem to not notice. When new trends arrive, old trends die. Its like a sort of trend cycle.
