trends that are going away, possibly?
weather: ☀️ noice
critters: two sulfurs kissing
in the evening of another year, why not think about what might be over?
alcoholism? i mean in the younger generations and i mean in america. i'm around zoomers a lot for work, and there are a few outliers who drink way too much, but most of them won't have more than a beer. back in 2012 my agemates were playing vodka pong. let's leave that shit in the past
really dark liquid eyeliner? having never learned to do a clean wing, i'm avoiding accusations of millennial cringe by refusing to wear liquid liner at all, like how i've avoided wearing skinny jeans for my entire life
bad advent calendars? i just hope the cocktail of underwhelming advent calendars sold via AI video ads + the kardashians' couch cushion advent calendar puts the whole format to sleep
taylor swift? i mean inasmuch as you can call taylor swift a "trend." can you believe we're only two years removed from the time paste anonymized the author of a negative album review? i do feel a little gaslit by stan twitter et al right now--i swear some of these users were megafans until this last album. full disclosure: i have never heard an entire taylor swift song unless i was trapped with one in a café or an uber
regular old nail polish? i didn't spend most of my life not painting my nails just to be told lacquer is dead and gel is the only way. thank god for indie lacquer brands. i just can't do gel, man. i have been questioned about this--i lie and say i'm allergic. i'm not allergic, i just hate the textural horror of gel nails, but people get mad at me when i say i hate things, so i lie
reactionary podcasts for straight guys? just a gut feeling i have, but they seem way more into slot machines lately than they are in upholding muskist-roganist-bannonism
the AI bubble? if jensen nvidia's wandering penis turns out to be the domino that knocks down AI i might never stop laughing
my job? they might be changing a law soon in the name of cutting red tape. between this and certain other legal difficulties in recent times, i picked a terrible time to get into archaeology
