What is one trend or fad that you really want to come back?


  1. Heelys. I've always wanted them as a kid and secretly still do as an adult.

  2. Art Deco architecture. Let's redo the 20's! (But maybe without the giant crash at the end)
    — Etlas

  3. That time when you were strongly discouraged from putting anything resembling your actual information on the Internet. I don't know how we went from "there's bad actors online. Don't put anything on there that you wouldn't mind if everyone on Earth knew" to "yeah, if you could connect your Facebook profile to use this random site, that'd be great"

  4. This probably doesn’t count as a trend, but: not being reachable at all times Just because my workplace has my number does not mean they should contact me on my day off to ask my some mundane question.

  5. I'd like to see punk rock make a comeback.

  6. Allowing children to get themselves around town on foot or on bicycles during the day with the understanding that they'll be back for dinner. The world is a much safer place now than it used to be and yet we've become so much more protective of our kids to the point of sheltering them. I strongly believe that delaying a child's exposure to responsibility and freedom makes them more poorly equipped to deal with it once they are fully on their own.

  7. 1920s men's fashion. I dig the hell out of the suits.

  8. Pokemon Go. The first month it was out was as close as we could get to World Peace.

  9. Looking like an 80’s heavy metal hobo

  10. My friends meeting up or just checking in once or twice a week.

  11. A video game without the need for DLCs that gamers have to buy for the full experience

  12. Wasn’t all that long ago, but boy that candle burned too bright: Pokemon GO’s launch month. The world changed for that first month. Anyone and everyone was outside on their phones, congregating en-masse in parks and trails and beaches and just *everywhere*. People were nicer, more friendly, and more open to chatting randomly. And more, if one wanted to have a chat with anyone else out and about, there was the universal ice breaker of “catch anything good around here lately”? For those of you that got to experience it in all of its glory, never forget.
