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

[Trulyatraditionalman]

I'll start:

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

False wood panels and fake brick in modern houses.

Hopefully contouring cause its bloody horrific.

Don’t say jeggings. I love mine

I don't think ANY fashionable item resists time... They'll come back though!

Houses and offices that are all white with a ladder with green leafy plants at random intervals

Use of the word "woke"

It's the newest iteration of "it's political correctness gone maaaaad"

Instagram influencers
Instamums

Omg and the giant sticky out bums, are they even real?

Also - reality tv which is either a) gross or b) poverty porn

For category a), see Naked Attraction, The Sex Clinic etc, (I accidentally caught 10 minutes of the Sex Clinic, and in that time was treated to a bunch of strangers sitting around chatting about their STDs and sex issues, followed by a close up of a big sore on some bloke's nob. Fucking grim).

For category b), see most 'documentaries' on Ch5, usually with the word 'benefits' in the title. Basically anything that encourages the viewer to sneer and feel superior.

The problem is, of course, that reality tv is cheap to make and the public lap it up, particularly if it makes them feel better about their own lives. For that reason, I fear it's not going anywhere.
I have no doubt at all that if we still had capital punishment in this country, some tv company would be live streaming it, (perhaps with a phone in vote as to whether the viewer believes they deserve it or not!!)

Laminated brows, drag queen style contour and injected lips. These makeup trends are ridiculous. Makeup trends go out of style eventually.

I also can’t stand high waisted jeans. I’m skinny and petite so they look ridiculous on me. I think leggings with a short top will go out of style.

Eddie Izzard

Hmm... a 30 year career, raised millions for charity... heart full of compassion for others.... Just cos Eddie doesn’t fit your narrative.... Don’t think so!

@dayswithaY

Huge rattan garden sofas, Buddha statues, naff solar lighting, spiky plants in black pots.

Artificial grass.

Yes; And decking! God awful.

@Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady

What about shitipoos? Can they fuck off? (Along with all the other ridiculous made up names?)

Hopefully the trend of paying £000s for a crossbreed/mongrel just because it has one of said ridiculous names

I wish but the puppy farm supporters will still be buying them. It’s all about looking cute for the insta.

Guilty of all them

Can I add over processed shit?

Cakes filled with 2 family bags of smarties topped with maltezers with Jaffa cakes and whipped cream and a hand full of jelly babies

Milkshakes containing 3 Mars bars and a Milky Way whipped cream and a flake and sprinkles

Jeez makes me weep!

Realy? I think Eddie will have forgotten about it in five years' time!

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

Dying your hair crazy colours.

The whole ‘fake/ Instababe’ look.

The heavy make-up, the Botox, the fake tan, the tattoos, the fillers, the lot. A move back to a much more natural look is already long overdue.

Things that I HOPE people will cringe at in 5 years time:

Influencers who basically spend their lives posting selfie’s and travelling and call it work - and many influencers in general. Why do we admire these people? Why are they held up by so many? I hate the term influencer, I hope that fizzles

Likewise - Instagram poses. I miss smiling photos. Pouts, tongues out - eww. And the poses - instead of looking at the camera, looking down at the floor and yourself with a face like your just admiring yourself. One arm gently resting on a balcony wall or such, while one leg is bent up on standing on its toes. The effort is ridiculous.
A few years back I was at a popular attraction in California. There was an unofficial photo spot and a normal tourist had no hope of getting to it. There was a huge line of teenage girls / young women, all letting their hair down and brushing it while waiting, and then all doing the same poses. One looking down, one looking in the distance as if lost in thought, one standing with their back to the camera, Hope tilted and hands up. It’s so boring!!! Yet funny in the masses. I just hope that this kind of SM fades. Fat chance of that.

What I think WILL fade and be cringing in 5 years:

Leggings and leggings possibly but I’ve been wearing them for a decade. They’ll still be there (leggings only under tunics / dresses I should add)

Sliders and socks. Awful

Grey homes

I don’t know exact name - but the tie string bikinis where the string on the bottoms is really high up the waist, making the bottoms form a V Only works on certain shaped women and I think many will cringe.

Mass cushions

Hope cruises are gone.
