Fads of the 2010s

I have been looking at fads from the '90s, which many of them I don't even remember.  I was a little kid and I thought the '90s were pretty boring.  We had a lot of Disney movies, and it was cool to have those light up sneakers, but it was nothing really to write home about.

But I am thinking about - the '10s.  The '10s is starting out in a mess and we are in global chaos along with a economic recession along with unrest in the Middle East, and China is starting to become more powerful.  This has been going on since the 1990s but we seem to have our head up our butt.

But the '10s might be a pretty fun decade and I am pretty optimistic about this decade.  By about 2019, things are going to be pretty peaceful - I think the world is going to be the most peaceful it even has been and it might be partway because of the 2012 prophecies.  The  Mayans had predicted great doom or just a pretty peaceful, spiritual enlightement and it looks we are going towards that path of an actually more peaceful, better world.  I can see people are going to start accepting things the way they are and start to appreciate things the way they have it.

The '10s had already have many fads and I can see it is going to be fun - the economy is going to rise and everything is going to be awesome.

Here are some that I am noticing:

1. The Return of Teen  Pop - We used to have Hilary Duff - that's about it and Miley Cyrus - that's about it.  Maybe Aly & AJ to put in the side, but they had not been that glamorized.  Now we have Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez,  Taylor Swift, One Direction, etc. But really, they are starting to age and become adults as well but it looks like there is actually someone clean to drool over a bedroom wall with than some sleazy old rapper or Korn.

2. Tebowing - this is something that is going extreme in the NFL but I can see it is a fad.  I think it is a start from Homer Simpson from one of The Simpsons episodes where he prays in the middle of everything to get what he requested.  But it is involving to stop in the middle of everything and praying, which is sort of a spiritual enlightenment coming.

3. American Pickers - this show and "picking" has been the rage, especially with the ecomony.  You like to deal a bunch of junk and get some money off of it.

4. Angry Birds - this game is from Finland and that has been a faddish thing.  It is a game that you can play on smartphones and other mobile devices with a touchscreen where you slingshot a bird with a bunch of pigs.  I had played that game and it is pretty fun, and addicting. lol

5.  Some internet fads - the internet, especially with the technology addicted generation, is starting to create many memes and fads, such as the Nyan Cat and the Double rainbow jokes.

6. SmartTV and internetTV - this is something that might be a trend, now a fad.  The TV has turned into a bunch of garbage but we got Hulu where you can watch some quality TV worth watching, anytime day and night.  And YouTubeland is a place where you can dig up some things with your interests.

7. Dubstep - this is something that focuses on the "contrabass subsonic" sounds of some synth lead and it has a wobble, but certain people are dancing around in this new form of electronic music.

8. The Tea Party Movement and The Wall Street Protestors - we have been having political movements in rebellion to political ways of life.  The Tea Party movement wants to go back to our Americana roots of the Wild Wild West and the Wall Street Protestors want to have some type of utopia that was fantasized in the 60s. It looks like there is a lot of arguining and nothing seems to be getting anywhere, and there are differerent philosophies on things on that issues, most likely on what is causing the recession.

9. Americana comeback - This is something that is going with the more alternative rock and country music - we want to go back to a time when things were good and we are trying to have a culture.  Country music is starting to become more mainstream, and I can see in the future we are going to have a comeback of jug bands and barn dances.

10. Girls are prettier - the girl wearing the dress is a head turner along with some more traditionalist fashions.  We are getting sick of the sloppy look of the 1990s and 2000s where we are finally going to have some fashion, and girls are actually very pretty now with some of the stuff they are wearing.
