Trends tend to come and go, and thank goodness for that, because some of them get really old really quick.
Redditors discussed the trends that they’re glad have died out, from fake mustaches to “Who Let The Dogs Out,” and here are some of their best answers. This thread is a walk down memory lane!

5. Athletic wrist bands.
“Those stupid “scientifically-backed” athletic wrist bands that were meant to do things like maintain your balance when they were glorified placebos”

“There was a 2-year span in the late 90’s when every single movie had “Who Let the Dogs Out” in it’s soundtrack.”
7. Weird makeup stuff.
“Chunky highlights, overplucking eyebrows into that sperm shape and using concealer as lipstick.”
8. YOLO.
“I’m just glad YOLO is something I don’t hear much anymore.”
9. Fidget spinners.
“Fidget spinners. My kids wasted SO much allowance on those things. Now they’re collecting dust under beds and furniture across the nation.”
10. Color changing T-shirts.
“Global Hypercolor t-shirts. For the young’uns, these were t-shirts that changed colour in response to body heat. They tended to show horrible patches around the armpits.

“Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur …”
“THE WHOLE CLUB WAS LOOKIN AT HER”
16. Ringtones.
“Ringtones on phones, especially those annoying custom ones you’d have to listen to multiple times a day at the office or elsewhere.
Now you rarely hear a phone ring and when you do it’s something basic.”
17. Selfie sticks.

22. “Friday.”
“People bullying Rebecca Black for that “Friday” music video. She got ripped to shreds and I just felt so damn bad for her.”
23. Bacon.
“a few years back it was “OMG BACON!!!” to a ridiculous extreme. Everyone was acting like bacon was the best thing ever created, like they’d just had it for the first time or something, and I was just sick to death of people overstating how amazing bacon is.
Ok, sure bacon is fine and dandy…no need to oversell it.”
24. The ice cream challenge.
