What fads from your youth did NOT like?

So, when you're a kid, and you're a part of certain fad experiences, your parents would probably get on your case about it, and tell you that the thing you're into is inane. However, there were probably things that were popular in your youth that even you managed to dislike. So what were they? Here, I'll start by sharing mine:

Garbage Pail Kids: They were just too gross for me. I still can't stand to look at them to this day. I probably sound like a hypocrite though, since I can watch most horror movies, played and own the Mortal Kombat games, and am still a huge Beavis and Butt-head fan to this day. I'll admit though, at first they didn't seem so bad to me, and I was even going to start buying them myself. The store I went to was out of them. Then new waves started coming out and were starting to get a bit gross for me. That's when I decided that they actually do suck.

Pacifiers: I saw a lot of kids wearing them when I was in the eighth grade, and I thought they looked damn ridiculous. It totally made my day when the principal announced on the loudspeaker that kids are banned from wearing them in the school.

Okay so this is all I can think of for now. If there were any others, maybe they'll come back to me and I'll mention them.
