Things that people think will stay in style but won't?

What are some things, you reckon? Here is one, I'd wager that history would be on my side with:

Basically everything, nothing lasts forever and everything goes out of style sooner or later

Yep. Especially when it comes to fashion/style.

As for trends in general... remember when "swag" was a thing back in 2011-2013? No one seems to say that these days anymore.

I hear it in terms of "Swag Bags" at marathons, still. "Make sure you pick up your swag bag!" or such.

I think it's more a thing of "This thing is totally a trend!" thing that isn't actually a trend at all. Like "brow crowns" or whatever madness that is...

T-shirts, collared shirts, button downs, and jeans aren't going anywhere. They've been around for decades or even like, hundreds of years.

Blue jeans at the very least since the 50's. Because of how versatile they are. And that's probably what makes a "trend" stand the test of time or not.

You don't know that hell for all we know all articles of clothing will be replaced by hard light constructs or something.

It's actually hard to believe but the young kids of today don't even use computers anymore. They do everyone online on their tablets or phones. They say kids of today aren't even used to typing on keyboards anymore, just tapping letters on touch screen.

Given this new kid generation will become adults eventually, hopefully this doesn't lead out to the phasing out of regular personal computers and everything being replaced by tablets.

For all we know computers may go the way of the typewriter.

Where did you hear that from

I remember wallet chains, had one myself everyone had one at a point

Apparently reggaeton has been around since the late 90s, but only became popular in the US and Europe in 2004. Ska has a reggae element, and I remember it being big in the mid-90s and maybe up to the late 90s even.

I remember those rather well. I never had one myself, but they looked kind of cool.

Definitely. Those things are the labret piercing of the 2000s.

Basically anything that is in style is going to meet a rebellion one day. Kids are going to look at ear tunnels, undercuts, and tattoo sleeves as markers of an aging generation who they will probably find excruciatingly uncool.

I doubt they will; tattoo culture has existed in some form for thousands of years. Their popularity in societies as a whole may wax and wane but they ain't going anywhere.

[TurtleWA]

Yeah just the style of tattoos that go away. Barbed Wire, Chinese Writing, Lower Back. But tattoos in general keep growing in popularity.

Yeah, barbed wire was a big thing for a minute. Bullsh** meaningless tribal tattoos were everywhere, too.

I don't like that the lower back tattoo went out of style. It suddenly became very popular to hate on it, call it a "tramp stamp," and that was that. Why?

Polka music aint going anywhere either, but that doesn't make it cool. I wasn't talking about tattoos in general - you have to admit that styles of tattoo go in and out of fashion like everything else.

Sleeves may have been around in the 80s, but no way were they fashionable. They are now, to the point that you see them everyday. You see them in hospitality, offices, on big-time celebrities, and athletes. If young people want to look different than their sleeved moms and dads, they can either go even more extreme and tattoo every square inch of themselves, or dial it way back. Either way, I don't think it will be fashionable forever.

We will be more poor, more dumb, less free. Also a lot of musician from the 60s will die.
