Right on, sister. I need to keep this in mind when I start hating my body parts. I suppose I look damn good for just having a baby!
You look damn good no matter the reason, and fuck, you should know that.

...i defienly dont dig any man who does wear makeup , have nicer hair than me or has pericings
...i think its because this thread is just what YOU personally think what fads need to die, so its all based on peoples different opinons.
...i dont have anything personal against people on here who do thsoe things..its just the FAD or TREND that bugs me, not the people haha.
Amen on the 'haha'! It's supposed to be a joke thread about fads--which by their very nature are fleeting, superficial, and mindlessly conformist. Sure it's genuinely irritating sometimes, but doesn't mean you can't laugh at it, or must assume everyone following a strange fashion trend is automatically an asshole.
Yeah I think it's weird when guys wear makeup, too, or put more shit in their hair than women do. Guys were putting a ton of girly stuff in their hair in the 90's in Daytona. Fuck, I used to have hair halfway down my back, but I never put girly shit in it, or made a big deal about flipping it around all the time so people couldn't possibly ignore it.
Speaking of makeup on guys--one time a really cool guy friend of mine from LA, who was working as a barback in my first stripclub, accepted my invitation to make the rounds of the clubs in Daytona, maybe meet some cool women for a change (not many in Daytona, lol). He used to be in a goth band called The Guttersluts in LA.
So anyway he shows up at my house in full-on goth regalia, complete with heavy eyeliner, fishnet gloves, you fucking name it! Instead of telling him "Sorry, buddy, they don't go for that shit in this town, I'm not going anywhere with you like that!" I said fuck 'em all, this guy is cool, he's sure as shit not gay, and neither am I--what the fuck do I care what people in this shit hole think anyway?
And for at least a year after we made the rounds people thought I was gay, lol.
But like I said, I think I have had friends who embraced every one of those fads I said needed to die in the OP.
I think guys with baseball caps on backwards look like idiots and losers who will never give orders to anyone--but the guy who lives downstairs from me and is cool as shit showed up in the club last night like that.
Still, if any boss of mine comes at me with a hat on backwards and tries to give me an order, I'm telling him to fuck off, lol!
One fad (or trend, really) that has been bugging the shit out of me for years is seeing the dates out on the town. The woman has spent hours on her appearance,and it really shows: makeup, hair, hot sexy expensive dress, jewelry, etc. The guy: baggy jeans, big T-shirt hanging down, baseball cap sideways--took him all of five minutes. This has been going on in Daytona since I moved there years ago.
Oh, and the typically the girl will be dancing all over, rubbing on him constantly, kissing him, smiling a lot at him, etc. But he must at all costs act like he could give a flying fuck if she lives or dies, and no smiling at her under any circumstances, except at one of his male friends, maybe. This might imply respect for her somehow, lol.

^ hehe yeah its true about some women taking forever to get ready, buying a new outfit, n the man finding whater is clean on the damn floor - LOL.
more things that annoy me :
- blue headlights. dont think its a trend but on some newer cars i see them. its so annoying cuz the swarm of white headlights on the opposite side of traffic is alerady distracting me, and then to see some blue ones outta nowhere just catches me off guard.
-lyrics and music beats for new songs STOLEN by old songs. like that song "beautiful girls" by sean kingston, the "suicidaaall" one, the beat is from an old 60's song "stand by me". and therees a bunch more but thats one exsample. and then lyrics taken from older songs mixed into newer songs...such that ying yang twins "dangerous"....'ooooh here she comes..watch out boy, she'll chew u up!" thats from hall and oates "maneater" back in the 80s. and t hen ANOTHER lyrics stolen in that song again "whoooa black betty rablam!" is from lynard skynard in the 70s MAN! there is so many more ive heard that take chorous and what not frm songs from the 60s,70s, 80s...as if the people of MTV dont "know" these old songs haha. i guess not.
*R.kellys new stupid songs. some lyrics "this is fo my niggaaas bitchesss playasss pimps" (ugh how many times has this been said before?")
and lyrics taken from "i'm a flirt" :
And Wonder Why All These Playas Tryin To Holla At Her
Just Soon As She Go To The Bathroom, Playa I'm Goin Holla At Her
(ok HER does NOT rhyme with HER)
Well If U Love Ya Girl
And Wanna Keep Ya GIrl
Don't Be Walkin Up And Askin Me To Meet Ya Girl
Cuz I'm Well Enough A Flirt When I Speak To Girl
(agaain, girl does not count to rhyme with girl AGAIN)
Now The Moral Of The Story Is Cuff Yo Chick
Cuz Hey I'm Black, Handsome, I Sing Plus I'm Rich And (I'm A Flirt
(o geez get over yerself? PLUS i'm rich? hahaha)
and t-pains featured lyrics in this song:
See I Done Fell In Love Wit A Stripper Yall
All I Do Is Flirt With Her, And I Get Them Draws
(haha yeah riiiiiight)

I think R kelly is a fad that neess to die in general lol.
Super-overley tan girls, Blech!

09-14-2007, 02:31 PM
R. Kelly, lol!
My favorite annoying R. Kelly lyrics comes at the beginning of that song "You remind me of my G", where he says:
You remin me uh sumpin', I jus can't think of what it is...
What the fuck?! If I said that to a woman I was supposed to care about, she should smack me in the face. What a dumb fuck.
I have actually played just that intro, after saying "Guys, here's how you should NOT try to impress a woman." And then played something else entirely.

You know what really grosses me out? When girls have those fake nails with BLACK tips and some sort of neutral color as the base. HEY bitch, it looks like you got DIRT under your nails.
BalletBaby
09-18-2007, 11:22 PM
^Lol. I've actually seen that done with lime green and thought it looked pretty cool. Black tips is gross. Just paint the whole nail, dagnabbit.

I had black with pink tips, lime would be cool. But neutral with black tips just screams "dirty" to me.

And I as swear every guy whos pants are so low and so big on him he has to hold them with one hand...Imma gonna pants him. No matter where I see it. I've done it before..I'll do it again. STOP wearing clothes 10 times too big for you...you look like a retard on welfare.
Fur. I'm so sad that this trend returned. Can we just not wear tortured rotting corpse as a fashion statement? What are you supossed to be saying with that? I'm so rich I can be a Cruella douchebag?? Great statement.
I either pants guys, or I pull their pants up so high that they scream over it, lol. I got the bouncers involved too, I tell them about a guy, then they kinda go to their area, while I do it. If the guy starts shit, the bouncers toss them, lol.
Fur, I am still iffy on. So I will make no comment on it.

* 13 yr olds in Motley Crue (or any 80's band) t-shirts. Um, have you ever been to a Motley concert? probably not, you'd probably cry and your parents would probably sue because you saw naked titties and heard Nikki Sixx talking about getting his dick sucked and it damaged your little virgin eyes/ears. Please don't jump on the bandwagon just because it's cool to like 80's bands right now. I remember when I used to get shit for being a Motley fan because it wasn't cool then, and now every 6th grader is suddenly a Motley fan.
...I'll think of more, I'm sure of it.
Hey now! Not all of those kids are posers! My 8yr old goes to school at least once or twice a week in Rolling Stones/Led Zepplin/Beatles/Pink Floyd t-shirts. Just cause she hasn't went to a concert, doesn't mean she doesn't listen to or like the music. But then again, she also likes Eartha Kitt, Etta James, The Rat Pack, and Cab Calloway, lol.

Fanny-packs, i hate fanny-packs! :headache: The person who invented them should be tortured. Those things are sooooo damn annoying and they look retarded as hell! I can't stand how they are worn! sideways, over the ass... as though wearing one in a normal way makes a person look retarded enough! On top of that they are big and bulky as hell,with all these stupid little compartments. Then people wear those damn things on amusement part rides and they get in the way! ugh! :yuck:
They totally destroy an outfit, not that the people wearing them would prolly care, because they are wearing a fanny pack anyway.... i think i am tempted to start a fanny-pack hate thread.
To be fair, I wear a fanny pack when I walk the dogs down the river front. We usually walk about 3-5miles, and I will NOT be carrying my purse, 3 bottles of water, water bowls, smokes, and my cell phone and car keys in my hands, walking 3 dogs on leashes, lol.
I don't care if it's ugly, it's practical on river hikes, lol.
It's also good for theme parks if you have kiddos.

This is true, my apologies! :)
I was more trying to comment on the whole "fad fans". Like it's a fad right now to rattle off 80's hair metal bands as your favorite groups in middle and high schools.
(and wear their t-shirts and all the stuff that goes along with going along.)
It is refreshing to see kids though that aren't just doing it because it's in, but because they really do have a wide variety of musical taste. Unfortunately for those kids, the "fad fans" are making it difficult to figure out whose who.
So we'll change my rant to be raging against the Fad Fans. :)

That nonsense non-word "vajayjay" needs to die. Today. Actually yesterday. I don't know where it came from, but every time I hear it from the lips of a grown woman, I just want to shake her until her head jiggles off and rolls across the street. It really, really, really irritates me. I'm sort of curious as to where it came from, but mainly it just needs to go back there.

paigedwinter - [wearing plain ol jeans with heels you'd sport at a black tie event] i'm sooo guilty of this one.
!
I rock both of these. Gauchos make my ass look tasty hehe. And I think heels with jeans and a cute top is a great way to dress up an outfit.

windy- blue headlights. dont think its a trend but on some newer cars i see them. its so annoying cuz the swarm of white headlights on the opposite side of traffic is alerady distracting me, and then to see some blue ones outta nowhere just catches me off guard.
and they're so much brighter! They just blind you!
AlexxaHex-You know what really grosses me out? When girls have those fake nails with BLACK tips and some sort of neutral color as the base. HEY bitch, it looks like you got DIRT under your nails.

something else that bugs me : those "GOT (insert almost about anything damn thing here)?" STICKERS!
GRRRRRRRRRRR! theres everything now! "got dirt? got freedom? got balls? got beef? got snorkleing?" some dont even make sense! and even stupid businesses that sell like, i dont know..neon signs , will have a sticker that they give to people to put on thier stupid car, like
"got neon?"
its jus so overdone, and used for way too many things,. that i loathe seeing them on someones bumper when im waiting in traffic or at a red light.

That emo video cracked me up! Seriously, emo is a messed up trend. Kids think it's cool to have issues, be in therapy, or have to take things like antidepressants. I feel so old thinking about how kids are different these days, and I'm only 20!
Also, yeah, those stupid rollerblade shoes need to be destroyed, thrown away and recycled, something. I'm just waiting to see some dumb kid fall while sliding around the mall.

Um, not sure if anyone has wrote this (too lazy too look)
but something that bugs me...
*guys with bleach blonde dyed hair. or that other weird off-dark yellow color some dye it. i mean, i just dont get it.
one time this dyed blonde guy (who was dark skinned, so i dont think it look good at all, no offence) was asking me to "party" and to avoid him, i just replied "sorry i dont really go out that much.." he then proceeded to make me feel stupid for not going out. like, "whaaaaa? you never go CLUBBIN? why the hell not?? do u jus sit at home and watch TV? whoaaaaa..i mean shit, i go to the club all weekend and party it up!"
i replied, "oh, yeah...well i guess BLONDES have more fun!" all his friends laughed. hehe.
-also guys who stupid "faux mohawks" like its so "badass" or something. ew some guys even just dye the mohawk..gross.

I carried the same cell phone for about 6 years, and the phone company changed its system so the phone wouldn’t work any more. The one now is a dinky piece of junk, with a hinge that’s going to break and a color screen that you can’t read when you are outside. This is NOT progress, just change for the sake of forcing people to replace perfectly good products with inferior ones in order to generate sales.
