Do you usually follow trends or do your own thing?

[Alienfish]

Do my own thing. 99% of the trends can go die.

usually both. some trends i like so i follow, otherwise idc.

 

[Mr. Cat]

I used to make trends in my school... things like wearing colored contacts, dying my hair a certain color, certain short haircuts, wearing bow ties, making stuffed animals into backpacks... but I was the weird misfit kid that nobody talked to, yet somehow everybody always loved to copy. Obviously, nothing was a "real" trend outside of school. I don't think I own a single trendy thing though, aside from my bag that has elephants on it and tribal print (tribal-whatever seems really popular).

Trends are pretty hard to avoid 100% of the time considering they're obviously a trend for some reason. Things that are bland and boring won't become trends if everyone thinks they're bland and boring.

Follow trends?

I start them.

Kidding but anyway I do my own thing. I like to think I'm pretty independent when it comes to my own likes and dislikes/what I think is cool.

I do my own thing, however, I recently discovered these toys called squishies. I think I'm a little late to the trend, but they look so wonderful soft, I just had to get one. It's a green apple, and it's not as squishy as the ones I've seen online, but I've been squishing it for three days.

 

[Soigne]

I do both. I don?t strictly only follow trends, but if there is a pretty nice one around I probably will look into it.

 

[Buttonsy]

I'd say both. I like doing my own thing, but I'd be a liar if I claimed that I was never intrigued or influenced by the actions of others.

 

[Annika.]

I don't follow trends, but when I see something cool pop up I'm not afraid to get it despite its popularity.

 

[Imbri]

When I was younger, I was more inclined to follow the trend. In high school particularly, you want to fit in, right?

One of the good things about getting older is that you become a bit more comfortable in your own skin and don't worry so much about what the rest of the crowd is doing.
