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?
