42 comments

1. Most of them

2. Being obsessed with celebrities.

3. glamorisong child birth

4. He/she/them/their/they/it and then getting pissed at people for not jumping on the band wagon fast enough

5. Crop tops

6. I think it’s over now, but in the 2000/2010s, building apartments without any ceiling lights.

7. Grey. Everything grey.

8. “Teen” dramas that are very sexually explicit.

9. Fake eyelashes/lip injections. They’re so distracting.

10. Tiktok

11. The “caterpillar” eyelashes. I don’t understand how women see through them, how they’re not bothered by having something heavy on the eyelids all the time aaand it doesn’t even make the eyes look good. I guess they can work as shades in the summer so you don’t need sunglasses but other than that.. 🤷‍♀️

12. Mullets are back, apparently. They looked awful the first time around, and they look awful now.

13. Diets. I just don’t get the concept of purposely starving your body from certain nutrients or food groups unless it’s absolutely necessary.

14. Plastic surgery, unless it’s to correct some big defect on the face.

15. Worshipping family vloggers, Instagram Influencers and celebrity worship culture in general.

16. A trend gone by now, but still pops up on Facebook et al now and again.

    The duck face.

    Just smile like a normal human.

    If you go missing, the police are going to be looking for 😚 when you look like 😶

17. Identifying as animals

18. Lip injections/fillers. They look so gross

19. Speed dating

20. Remember when the thigh gap was a thing? Yup didn’t understand that one

21. Early 2000s clothing. I’m sorry but it just looks bad.

22. Overlining your lips!

23. Chunky shoes

24. All of them..¿ {is that allowed for me to say that}

25. Fake eyelashes. They look ridiculous.

26. Giant ankle breaker Frankenstein shoes. How is that fashion? The villagers are gathering their pitchforks and torches and muttering as you clomp by.

27. Lip fillers.
    I never saw a woman who had lip fillers and didn’t look like a tragic honeybee hive incident victim.

28. The bathing suit tops that have the gathering on the side, makes them look like you are wearing a triangle top the wrong way. Like, why?

29. Crop top sweaters and sweatshirts. What even is the point of wearing one? To keep warm?!

30. Eyelash extension. Like aren’t your eyelid feel heavy?

31. Just a lot of the beauty standards that young women are exposed to…BBLs, lip fillers, and starting Botox at age 21.

32. The obsession with the Depp-Heard trial

33. Most of the eyebrow trends

34. Super long finger nails. I keep mine short, neat, and painted sensibility.

35. Performative activism

    Edit to add another: Being eyeball deep in debt to look rich

36. TikTok.. and grown adults doing TikTok dances.

37. The love of reality shows like Love Island

38. Giant butts

39. Having words tattoed all over one’s limbs. I understand a word or phrase here and there but I’ve been seeing people who look like walking books. It’s very distracting and busy.

40. Rompers. Most of ya’ll look cute as hell in them! I look like a baked potato

41. Showing skin.
    Don’t get me wrong, I am 100% for loving your body as it is and loving yourself inside and out. But when I see women walking around with half their 🍑 hanging out and acting thirsty doing dances in the tiniest outfits on TikTok, I question it a little bit.

    The self-love trend is strong, and I would love to see it continue into the future, but in the process we’ve lost any sense of modesty in public. It’s not entirely a matter of covering upjust because it’s socially indecent, it’s a matter of covering up because not everybody wants to see your 🍑 and 🍒 at the local diner. Consideration for others goes a long way. And that includes not seeing your 🐱 nearly fallout of your shorts when I’m at the mall.

42. Me a dude , but I gotta say skin colored clothes, why 💀
