According to the definition of fad on the page, There should not be any current cultural trends listed, because they have not yet declined in popularity, such as Machinima. -- 24.166.248.251 19:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
I'm not trying to be rude, but it would be a little easier if the fads were categorized by era. Example
1970's Fads
1980's Fads

Green Day did spawn a fad in the 2000's as the Necktie, at my school over 20 wear ties with casual clothing. These are referenced to Green Day. 216.138.20.114 ( talk) 12:27, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Someone added a more organized version to this page and then someone deleted it, especially the 1980's subcatergory. It seemed okay by me, it was a fine revision, no vandilism was there... It seems that someone on this article is too protective of the work and won't let other wiki users to contribute. If you haven't noticed this is a WIKI, not owned by any one person. 216.138.20.114 ( talk) 23:17, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I disagee that this is a fad and not just a heavily marketed/evangelical tv channel. I think you folk are talking about the phenomena of the pop video. - max rspct 13:16, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
So when TV programming first came out it was a fad? Music videos havE'nt gone away - how can they be a fad? - max rspct 13:55, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Music videos have kind of lost their punch since the 1980's, when it first came out, everyone loved them, now people are like "Oh thats nothing really new". And besides MTV has kind of tuned down music videos to other programming. 209.174.137.10 ( talk) 14:01, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Any 1980's or 1990's fads by me were referenced by the "I Love The" Series on VH1. The 2000 fads are referenced by word of mouth at my school or VH1, MTV, Fuse, G4, and Spike TV. ( 209.174.137.10 13:50, 12 December 2005 (UTC))
Probably not good enough Wikipedia:Cite sources - max rspct 13:57, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Many fads and trends continue to be deleted from the list, they are genuine fads and yet still people delete them from the list. Grunge music for example was a fad in the early 90's, but soon died out, why won't you allow people to contribute, Grunge music was a fad, even if you look in its article here on wikipedia, it states that Grunge music hit it biggest point from 1991 - 1994, then it died down. Do you people like max rspct and snowflake even know what is popular! Revert Tigerghost's edits or else I will report you as vandilizing this article. And please allow others to put in fads, there is way more fads then what is on the list, and the article states "This list is incomplete, you can help by EXPANDING it.
Other fads that are dominant are BRATZ Dolls-2000s, Power Rangers-1990s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-1990s, Napolean Dynamyte phrases-2000s(which might I add are still extremely popular), Star Trek:Original Series-1960s, Glow in the dark objects like bracelets/necklaces/lasers/hats-1990s, Atari-1970s, Intellivision-1980s I will add these into the list, I will see how long it takes for vandals to delete them. I will report anything that is deleted... Just to let all know, I am a pop culture historian. ( 209.174.137.10 13:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC))
So Power Rangers & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should stay maybe not because of their tv show status, but toy franchises. ( 216.138.20.114 20:01, 21 December 2005 (UTC))
I don't think that the iPod fits the definition of a fad. Just because it is popular and it is a fashion accessory, does not make it a fad. 195.188.152.10 ( talk) 22:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

References.... The 1990s fads I added to the list were found on I Love The 90's and I Love The 90's: Part Deux on VH1, a major pop culture television network. The Same goes for the 1980s, but their infor was aquired from the I Love the 80s, I Love the 80s: Strikes Back, and I Love The 80's 3D ( Tigerghost 05:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC))

Instant Messangeing isn't a fad... or a least it isn't a 2000s fad. People used IM in the late 1990s too. Sitenl 21:50, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
This style of boots have been around for over 100 years and are only growing in popularity. This style in now considered a category in many USA department stores and shoe stores and is here to stay ( Shyets04 20:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC))
I am sorry if I caused any inconvieniance for moving the article to its current location, but the list of fads grew too big and included more than fads, so I added Trends in the title as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigerghost ( talk • contribs) 07:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
I had the idea to branch out the article because "list of fads" is getting to grow to big. So I am working on making a branch page for certain decades fads ( 2000s fads and trends, 1990s fads and trends) it was just an idea. If people don't agree with this, please post below ( Tigerghost 03:13, 28 February 2006 (UTC))
One of the items listed as a fad for the 1990's is Christianity. Seeing as how Christianity (according to its own article) has "an estimated 2.1 billion adherents" and is "world's largest religion" can it really be called a fad? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.216.70.62 ( talk) 18:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
A fad? I disagree. I've never actually seen or heard of anyone owning/using one. I move for removal from list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.49.218 ( talk) 03:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't see how any video game consoles or video games can be called fads, with the exception of Pokemon. Zelda definitely does not belong, seeing as it is still one of the most popular games today and current game consoles are not wise to list, nor are most previous ones. The game industry is well-known not to be a passing fad. That was proven wrong 20 years ago. Both DS and PSP could become fads, depending on whether PSP can come back from its year-long slump and DS can collapse. If one of those events happens, the other does and that determines which one is a fad. But, both of them are definitely POV. 205.166.61.142 14:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Between what is popular, and what is a fad? For instance, the PS2 is listed as a fad. yet it's popularity was constant. it never really spiked or waned. - Malomeat 02:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree with everyone else, whoever put PS2, Nintendo DS and the like in this list was taking extreme POV. Niether can be said to be a fad, the Nintendo DS might but most gaming systems turn out to not be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaara42 ( talk • contribs) 22:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Why is HDTV a fad? Why is the Rubik's cube a fad? These products have easily outlived the 'fad' stage of every growing business. Video Game culture is a fad? Since when was a culture a fad? Is 20 years enough not to be on the fad list? I think someone should go through and seriously revise this article, and maybe open it up for a community discussion as to what should still be on the list. Oh and to let the person who put Anime in as a fad, it has been going on in Japan since the 1960s, thats not a fad, unless to specifically say the American version of anime, which might be. 71.226.52.181 ( talk) 04:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Can Newton's cradle be considered a fad? -- Abdull 12:35, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
A fad is about something that's popular for its own sake, where a craze is about something that people purchase in the hopes of selling it back at a higher value. Sarge Baldy 17:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I would add leetspeak, but I don't know what decade it would go in. 59.167.140.150 08:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I wonder whether it's not a joke that it's there. The definition of fad says that they "become popular in a culture relatively quickly, but loses popularity dramatically". So, tell me when Wikipedia lost its popularity dramatically. I didn't delete it from the list because I'm not sure. Maybe, those things (goods, commodities...) that gain popularity quickly are also considered gags, even though they remain popular for a long period of time.-- Pfc432 05:24, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
How is the Super Bowl a fad in any sense? Likewise for the Academy Awards and Olympics. If we're going to use that loose of a definition, then any event that happens and is then over can be called a fad. For instance, would we call skiing a fad since people stop when the snow melts? What about migratory birds? Do we call wars fads because they start and then end? Seasonal events are not fads. I've removed the seasonal fads section at the end. If you disagree with this, I'd be glad to discuss it. I feel that the events in the section did not meet the loosest definition of a fad. Originalbigj 21:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I have removed the "Criticsm of fads" paragraph as it firstly does not describe a fad and secondly sounds like rubbish and lowers the overall standard of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael salcher~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 13:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
...when we have separate articles for each decade? We should try to improve the individual decade articles rather than trying to maintain two separate lists. I think this article should be moved to Fads and trends and describe fads/trends in general and contain links to the articles for each decade. The lists should be removed as it is confusing to have them in two places. -- musicpvm 19:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

The only way we can stop this edit war, is to make up a policy for what CAN go on this page, and what CAN'T. My inital guideline, should be to try finding reliable sources for all of the stuff on this list, AND cite it. ViperSnake151 14:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I think that what u said is going a bit far, but I say that a trend or fad has to do with clothing, music, genera things like that. NOT ARTIST'S!!! Who put Soulja Boy on the list. He's gone out with most kids like me and that's not a fad. DLWDWFreek ( talk) 04:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Nowadays this article is not interesting enough, back in 2006 it was much better even when the lists were not so well integrated. Sometimes the thing about taking out the 'superficial' like in the genocide 'trivia' movement, forgets totally: wikipedia is for all humanity, from other perspectives information seeming nonsense is quite interesting for people like me of other cultural environments. It is also for other times, like now the article does not says nothing about this time to the future, lacks historic perspective. The so calles lists -branching out- does not exists. Now is just laconic, and the significant information is not available other than the article memory... do not fix what is not broken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geape ( talk • contribs) 14:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Current craze redirects to this article and is mentioned alongside the two other terms (fads and trends) which compose it. Shouldn't crazes be part of the title? In this case, following alphabetization: Crazes, fads and trends. That, or rather than successively just adding names to similar words which are covered by the article, is there a term which inclusive of all of these that can be used instead? Note: see the first section of the talk page for when 'trends' was added. Tyciol ( talk) 22:02, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Fads and trends → Fad — Existing title is not very encyclopedic. A single singular noun phrase is generally the best choice for generic topics such as this. Mcorazao ( talk) 03:36, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
I found this page and was flabbergasted to find there was no list of fads by decade like the Hula hoop or pet rock. Started to add such a list -- then looked at the talk page. Removed my edit because, clearly, there's some weird sh*t going on here. I can understand that a list of fads might get out of hand, but that's no reason to take it (and all references to a list) out completely. If lists of fads exist elsewhere then there should be well-marked links to them. Michaeld42 ( talk) 18:12, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
People have a common mind set to confuse trend and fad with classic when they talk about fashion. While trend is a present style and fad is a practice followed for a period (time)), by classic it means something which would be timeless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lasar 07 ( talk • contribs) 13:10, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

I have removed the "Criticsm of fads" paragraph as it firstly does not describe a fad and secondly sounds like rubbish and lowers the overall standard of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael salcher~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 13:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
...when we have separate articles for each decade? We should try to improve the individual decade articles rather than trying to maintain two separate lists. I think this article should be moved to Fads and trends and describe fads/trends in general and contain links to the articles for each decade. The lists should be removed as it is confusing to have them in two places. -- musicpvm 19:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

The only way we can stop this edit war, is to make up a policy for what CAN go on this page, and what CAN'T. My inital guideline, should be to try finding reliable sources for all of the stuff on this list, AND cite it. ViperSnake151 14:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I think that what u said is going a bit far, but I say that a trend or fad has to do with clothing, music, genera things like that. NOT ARTIST'S!!! Who put Soulja Boy on the list. He's gone out with most kids like me and that's not a fad. DLWDWFreek ( talk) 04:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
There should be material about what people have said about fads, what makes a fad a fad, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.87.181.198 ( talk) 20:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Nowadays this article is not interesting enough, back in 2006 it was much better even when the lists were not so well integrated. Sometimes the thing about taking out the 'superficial' like in the genocide 'trivia' movement, forgets totally: wikipedia is for all humanity, from other perspectives information seeming nonsense is quite interesting for people like me of other cultural environments. It is also for other times, like now the article does not says nothing about this time to the future, lacks historic perspective. The so calles lists -branching out- does not exists. Now is just laconic, and the significant information is not available other than the article memory... do not fix what is not broken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geape ( talk • contribs) 14:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Question. Would emo fall under fad, trend, or political movement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.42.179 ( talk) 03:06, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
In my opinion it would be considered as a fad or a trend. As for a political movement, since when is wearing skinny jeans and wearing band ts a political movement?-- FailureAtDeath ( talk) 23:01, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Current craze redirects to this article and is mentioned alongside the two other terms (fads and trends) which compose it. Shouldn't crazes be part of the title? In this case, following alphabetization: Crazes, fads and trends. That, or rather than successively just adding names to similar words which are covered by the article, is there a term which inclusive of all of these that can be used instead? Note: see the first section of the talk page for when 'trends' was added. Tyciol ( talk) 22:02, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
I believe that the topic of this article is noteworthy but the article is clearly poorly written, even for a stub.
I would propose:

The result of the move request was: page moved. Ronhjones (Talk) 01:08, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Fads and trends → Fad — Existing title is not very encyclopedic. A single singular noun phrase is generally the best choice for generic topics such as this. Mcorazao ( talk) 03:36, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
I found this page and was flabbergasted to find there was no list of fads by decade like the Hula hoop or pet rock. Started to add such a list -- then looked at the talk page. Removed my edit because, clearly, there's some weird sh*t going on here. I can understand that a list of fads might get out of hand, but that's no reason to take it (and all references to a list) out completely. If lists of fads exist elsewhere then there should be well-marked links to them. Michaeld42 ( talk) 18:12, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
People have a common mind set to confuse trend and fad with classic when they talk about fashion. While trend is a present style and fad is a practice followed for a period (time)), by classic it means something which would be timeless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lasar 07 ( talk • contribs) 13:10, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Most of that section is sourced from some blog whose page no longer exists. A fad is a type of trend. Not every trend is a fad. Set / subset relationship. That section should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.207.115.58 ( talk) 19:54, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
