When you walk around in any crowded place or observe people at any social gathering place, you will notice that they all have some things in common. Usually if you see a group of people together, there will be a common theme, something that makes them all look similar. It especially happens with kids and young adults.

They are so eager to integrate, they often copy each other without regard to how it looks from the outside. Trends and patterns are often younger one thing, with the young victims of the shortsightedness of it all. When everyone does the same thing, so if you’re the only one who does not, you feel as if you’re outside. So in fact you are the only parameter of the next trend.

These trends and patterns often speak in the fashion rags. What is popular this year, will not be cool next year and what is new is the old thing very soon. It seems ridiculous when you grow up and see what is most important, but when you’re in the age group it affects, it seems like a big deal.

Do not use the pair of shoes or a pair of jeans that were not washing right are almost certain ostracism and death of a teenager. Still not hearing the right music can be a hindrance if the wrong people know. With time to grow out of it and no longer care what other people care, and everything gets a little better.

These fads come and go, but there are certain things do stick around and there are certain paintings that never go out of style. And remember, everything is cyclical and comes around. In the nineties, we had to endure the sixties all over again when the children of the flower power generation got old enough to see what it was. Even bellbottoms and some things of seventy have reappeared again.

What was old becomes new again as new generations discover their parents’ old things in the attic and in the back of the closet. I am almost certain that the eighties will not return, but stranger things have happened and only time will tell. We could even see these baggy MC Hammer pants back in style.
