The funny thing about the dab is that when it was popular, it was only done mainly by people younger than 30, but when it finished being popular, it was suddenly done by all the adults over 40, trying to look cool, causing only a big amount of cringe to everyone.

The reason why these are “awkward” is because they are no longer current/trendy. If these see a revival, you’ll suddenly start calling them the coolest thing ever again.

other than it being awkward.

How could everyone forget about 2014 ice bucket challenge?

2023- mullets,baggy,saggy,crocs, everything

As awkward as these are now, it sure was a nice trip down memory lane.

I'd argue the comedy ringtones started way back when we had brick-shaped Nokias, anyone remember Crazy Frog? Similarly the Peace Sign was a very hippy thing, though it's apparently a permanent fixture among Japanese Schoolgirls, rather than being time-specific.

I really want to live the tech era of 2000-2010. Just something feels weirdly peaceful. Its probably just nostalgia and for the part i am from 2005, but even with the trend of Liminal spaces now being a thing, I really want to go there even more.

I miss the times when fidget spinners were so popular back in 2017. I was in 5th grade back then and now im in 10th. I still have the spinners to this day as memories.

Dabbing and flossing were once so loved but now once someone does it they get called out.

[@punishmentgame]

The fidget spinner one was actually kind of nostalgic, and it was really popular for a while at my first primary school. I still have a few from back then :)

[@tggarfieldgaming6950]

I like how alot of these are making a comeback either ironically or unironically

[@nileshdarunde]

2020 - Masks were cool.

[@yourlocalkid123]

So glad I grew up with fidget spinners and tangles instead of poppets and huggy wuggy 💀

[@diandradeeke]

As someone born in 1989 I feel really old now. Simply because the 90ies and early 00s are just overflown but their were actually quite a lot of trends in that period of time

[@siron6034]

It's so nostalgia.... We've lived through all these trends and now seeing them back makes me so happy

I liked how he stopped at 2017. He knew everything after 2020 was just going downhill.

[@captaincrunch1400]

They forgot the frosted dyed tips on spikey hair of 2003, the emo 1 eye covered hairstyle with black and white striped shirts of 2004, the baggy military camo pants of 2006 and the wide square glasses with a manbun and beard of 2015

I remember that stuff, but never got into it myself. Style doesn't need to be what everyone one else is doing. It's about how confident you are about how you dress and act.
