What's one overdone thing that is popular now but everyone will embarrassed by in 5 years time?

I'll start:

High waisted trousers with crop tops
Lip liner that goes over the top of cupid's bow

@Trulyatraditionalman

I would like to add any pop song using auto tune to the list.

However, I don't think it will be dead in 5 years

Tbf the music industry has seen a lot of auto tune but nowadays it's so minimal that its used only to tighten the performance rather than adjusting the sound of the voice. It also depends on the format and genre as sometimes it can be useful to have on regards to being a creative output 👽🎤

flying abroad for a holibobs.

we are hoping that it will take LESS than 5 years to resume holidays abroad! No chance on earth they'll disappear, or that people will ever be embarrassed about.

likeamillpond - I know an acquaintance who has pampas grass in front of her garden. She and her DH definitely aren't into swinging, they said to me 'it looks nice innit?!'

Sounds a bit like 'Back to the '70s' if pampas grass is back!

@InFiveMins

Just a few that have come to mind:

1. Panelling on houses that don't suit panelling. Panelling your Taylor Wimpey newbuild is just odd.

1. Lay-Z spas or whatever they are called. Those inflatable hot tub things, just horrendous!

1. Those strange afternoon teas that come in boxes - you can just buy said ingredients from Tesco...?

1. Artificial grass (at least the ones that are done on the cheap)

1. Crushed velvet sleigh beds, or actually crushed velvet anything

Those afternoon teas in boxes have been a godsend when we couldn't meet up, if they're the better quality ones they make a great present to celebrate an occasion.

Nude/neutral coloured bridesmaid dresses.

Paying over the odds for baked goods, sweets or meats and cheeses ordered because they’re in a nice box with a ribbon and a branded sticker

Reading this thread I had no idea some of these things were even in fashion.....

I literally couldn't care a less if skinny jeans /leggings/jeggings are fashionable, as long as they aren't so unfashionable it's hard to get ahold of them, I will still wear them because they are a 1000x more comfortable than standard denim /trousers. My body's not stiff and straight, why would I want to clothe it in things that don't move with my body

I can actually see drinking, or at least regular /heavy drinking, going out of fashion. Just like smoking has.

@FKATondelayo

The ridiculous pretence that otherwise intelligent people put on about knowing whether someone is a man or a woman. Or if there is even such a thing as a 'man' or a 'woman'. Absolutely pathetic. It will go down as the mass delusion of our times.

Aside from that IDGAF. You can prise my velvet sofas, navy walls and delicious alcohol from my cold dead hands.

You honestly don't think that there is such a thing as 'man' and 'woman'? I can't believe I'm reading this.

Brilliant white dental veneers.

for all the grey haters, what do you have in your houses?. Much better than the decades of magnolia and 1000 shades of white.

Hopefully, people will be embarrassed by their total compliance with everything the government tells them to do.

I think it's already well on the way out but prosecco. It's a (mostly) cheap alternative to champagne because it's shit

I second this. The stuff is absolutely revolting. 🤢

So many posters have mentioned what I have in mind but here's my list...
MLMs
Kipper lips
Man buns
Tattoos
Furniture/crockery/wall art with writing/inspirational quotes on them
Whatever the next home decor colour is
Plastic grass ( just so bad for the environment on so many levels)
Replicated meat ( too heavily processed and poor use of soya thus destroying habitats) just eat veg
Too many cushions that you can't sit on the sofa or you fling them off the bed
Cheap, throwaway fashion
Stupidly big handbags
Slug type eyebrows
Zoom meetings in front of a pretentious background

As to Prosecco, many people prefer it to the more fizzy and , usually, very dry champagne.

Oh yes, the man skinny Jean.

Peter Pan collars......wtf! (I think that is what they are called....)

@Beseigedbykillersquirrels

No I mean the opposite

Everyone knows what a man and a woman is and the current vogue for pretending it's all very nebulous and complicated is bollocks.

Sorry had a glass of wine and didn't express myself very well.

I am in England. There's enough grey outside, the very last thing we need is something to match the outside and make our homes even more grim and dreary.

Magnolia might be a bit sickly, but still less depressing than grey.
Even with added sparkles and silver shit to poshify the place.

@LadyWithLapdog

Working 5 days a week. We’ll all go to maximum 4.

except for the "essential workers" from healthcare and retail we all applauded who will be working 8 days a week to keep a roof over their heads and MNers will be back telling them to "just get a better paid job"

Those strange afternoon teas that come in boxes - you can just buy said ingredients from Tesco...?

I am sure many of those got a boost because of the boredom of lockdown.
