However, perhaps due to the grumpy mood brought on by the poor trash collecting job our sanitation people do on our street and the aching head and eyes, I've decided to focus on what I DON'T LIKE.
The Ironic Hipster Mullet:

The mullet is an ugly haircut. We get it. You look ugly. It's funny--we all laughed (the first time). Now cut it off.
Colored Jeans (and other neon clothing):

It actually made my headache worse googling images for this. Everyone who wears neon colors looks like an extra in Saved by the Bell. Not in a good way.
The Emo/Indiekid Combover:
I can't find an image to properly illustrate this. When I googled "emo hair" or "indie hair" I got lots of images of that generic long-bangs-in-front-spiky-hair-in-back look. Often featuring white blonde streaks in black hair. The look I've seen frequently in the few shows I've been to in the past year is just long, greasy hair parted at or behind the ear and flopped to the other ear. What's interesting is that this is just how these boys will be wearing their hair (if they have any) when they're 85.
The Avril Lavigne Look:
Avril Lavigne is a stunning young woman who, unfortunately, has been marketed as a brand. (Now available at Hot Topic!)
I am a fan of many, many passing trends, but there are a few I can't stand. What are some trends you wish would drop out of the spotlight?

doh! Carborro!
I don't like mullets either.
Or neon. I outgrew that phase at age 7 after i wore hot pink and bright yellow socks... together. With jellies.
i like your style.
Thanks! I like YOUR style.
I totally agree with all your dislikes. My personal favorite trend to hate is the 'skunk' hair which goes along with the Avril Lavigne style. This is when girls like to color their hair two completley different colors, typically a dark shade and then a bleached section. I think we can seriously say that trend was cool about 3+ years ago but I STILL see girls sporting that style. I just hope to myself that they have been trying to grow it out for the past 3 years and pray they didn't just get it done last week. It still makes me roll my eyes every time I see it.
