People Break Down Which Trends They Refuse To Get Behind

People Break Down Which Trends They Refuse To Get Behind

We all want to feel like we belong.

For some people, that entails jumping on the bandwagon and doing what everyone else is doing.


But how far are you willing to go?

There was a time when every kid in my neighborhood played Dungeons & Dragons, which, for the uninitiated was a fantasy role-playing game that was ideal for escapism.

I tried. I wanted to be cool, but I just was not into it. And that was when I realized I don't have to do what everyone else was doing and that marching to the beat of my own drum was much cooler.


Although I lost out on social opportunities with friends, I gained perspective by staying true to my convictions.

I don't knock others for the things they are into – whether it be tattoos or listening to the most commercially successful music group or artist, but I will seek them out on my own terms and not because they are trendy.

Redditor Mobslayer7 asked:

"What's a trend you refuse to get behind?"

Proof Of Philanthropy

"Filming myself doing a good deed."

"I'm not sure why this starting, but personally I find it takes all of the generosity out of the act. Ex. Filming yourself giving a homeless person food."

Blowing Up Lips

"Lip injection."

"a-f'king-greed. Your lips have to fit your face. If you have naturally big lips, great! But if you don't, there's nothing wrong with having Tilda Swinton lips."

Time To Shut The "Gate"

"Adding 'gate' to the end of every controversy. It makes no sense!!! It was called the 'Watergate' scandal because that was the name of the hotel that was being broken into. But ever since then...ugh."

Cancelling Fashion

"Wearing super expensive, popular clothes or shoes."

"Im part of the age group that does this and i think it is the stupidest thing, more so with shoes and the people who try to keep them clean all the time. Half the time the expensive sh*t dont even look that good."

Let's Leave "Karen" Out Of It

"Using the name 'Karen' as an insult. You want to call someone an entitled b*tch, call them an entitled b*tch. Leave poor Karen out of it... none of the 'Karens' I've met were actually named Karen, and all of the people I know named Karen are lovely people... but they can't complain about their name being taken as an insult because to do so would get them immediately labeled as a 'Karen.'"

Woman Explains Why 'Baddies' Actually Make The Best Moms In Viral TikTok

We've all heard the sayings, "You cannot pour from an empty cup," and "You have to put your own safety mask on first before you can help others with theirs." While these sentiments are true in all walks of life, they might be especially true for mothers, even if it might feel counterintuitive to a loving mom.

While there are certainly exceptions, it's generally acknowledged that mothers carry most of the emotional and mental loads of their homes and raising their children, from meal-planning to cleaning to navigating doctors' appointments, and that's not including the initial journey through pregnancy and childbirth.

During Trump’s first term, in 2020, six men were charged by federal prosecutors with conspiring to kidnap Whitmer, a Democrat who the GOP attacked for her handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cheating Husband Accidentally Butt-Dials His Wife While He's With His Married Mistress

It's terrible enough finding out that your partner is cheating on you. It's even worse when they do something to rub that fact in your face, even if it happens because of their own stupidity.

TikToker Vanessa Sullivan knew that her husband had been cheating on her, and they'd since separated. Her husband told her that he was no longer seeing his affair partner and that she was out of his life, and they agreed to attempt to reconcile.

Former Mace Staffers Claim She Had Them Create Fake Social Media Accounts To Praise Her

According to several former staffers for South Carolina Republican Representative for Nancy Mace, Mace had them create fake social media accounts—a "bot army," if you will—to monitor chatter about her online and to "bolster her image."

The aides say that Mace, who plays a key role in shaping GOP policy on technology and workforce issues as chair of the House Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, demonstrates a disconnect between the high expectations for her leadership in these complex policy areas and her demonstrated expertise in the technical details.

Harvard President Gets Standing Ovation After Subtle Jab At Trump During Graduation Speech

Harvard University President Alan M. Garber received a standing ovation after he subtly jabbed the Trump administration over its attack on foreign students during his commencement speech on Thursday.

Garber spoke after the Trump administration announced last week that it would suspend Harvard's ability to enroll international students, striking at a key revenue stream. The move marked a significant escalation in the administration’s broader campaign to pressure elite universities to align themselves with President Donald Trump’s political agenda.
