Scott and SadieMost trends don’t age well . . . but some are more harmful than others. Like, 15 years ago there were people who wasted YEARS of their lives PLANKING . . . literally everywhere. (???)
People on social media are talking about the modern “trends” that everyone will regret in 10 years . . . and people took it more seriously than just planking.
1. Putting their whole lives on the Internet . . . “The worst parts will resurface.”
2. Filming kids’ worst moments for internet clout . . . “They’ll also resurface.”
3. Bullying teachers out of the profession.
4. Devaluing craftsmanship.
5. Getting advice from TikTok influencers, instead of actual experts.
6. Cosmetic surgeries and procedures, specifically buccal fat removal.
7. Face tattoos.
8. Giving their children unfettered access to technology.
9. Parents allowing children to run the show . . . “When did we get so soft?”
10. Giving kids really terrible names.
11. People letting go of their privacy.
12. Sending their DNA into a random company.
13. Over reliance on A.I. text generators to write letters, essays, or other texts. Also: Students relying on A.I. to get through school.
14. Anti-intellectualism.
15. The proliferation of sports betting.
16. Having an OnlyFans.
17. The “Broccoli” haircut.
18. Buying NFTs.
19. Buying Cybertrucks.
20. People painting their walls gray. (Maybe they’ll regret the lack of color . . . but in that case, couldn’t you just, well, RE-PAINT?)
