Fads and Trends

Fads and Trends are very much a part of everyday life.  They are seen from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep.  But, for the typical person, defining these things in our daily lives as either category does not often come up.  I view fads and trends as being very similar, but with one major difference.  A trend lasts long-term, a fad grabs our attention and disappears just as quickly as it came.  I also find it easier if I think of fads as being subsets of trends, for instance listening to music has become a major part of our society, but specific genres can sometimes last for very short amounts of time.  In this example, listening to music would be a trend and but the mix of rap and country would be a fad ( and thank goodness that one passed quickly).

So, without further ado here are some fads and trends from my own life.

My Tweeps

There are many things that matter to me in life, but mostly I center my time around music, Major League Soccer, and my beliefs.  That is why I chose the 3 Tweeps you see on the right.
