It’s kinda weird how trends manage to ‘catch on’ as quickly as they do. All it really takes is some1 famous ‘doing something’ that ’sets them apart from the crowd’, and the next thing u know, so many teens and tweens are copying the trend.
Take for example the Aretha Franklin big bow Obama Inauguration Hat meme.

It was actually more important than the actual ceremony, and probably more revolutionary than Obama’s actual election. She really stole the spotlight from what was supposed to be Obammy’s weekend. According 2 the most important bloggers and zany-news-generators, Aretha was the biggest story of the inauggy partie.
The next day, teens across America were looking 4 a way 2 be different. The path towards individuality had been laid out b4 them [via putting a big bow on shit].

Need 2 think about how I can convert my v-neck collection into ’something that makes me look modern.’ Might put big bows on my clothing/Macbooks. Maybe just a Crystal Castles logo. Not sure if I actually ‘believe’ the bro in the picture, and think he might be some sort of performance piece, sort of like ‘The Tween Version of Joaquin Phoenix.’
Kinda wish I could invent a fashion that ‘went viral’, kinda like shuttershades, or maybe even slanties, or maybe even the classic ‘slept over at my bf shirt‘, or maybe even ‘being a Jonas Bro’/Creating.Your.Own.Jousteece.Jacket.
Do yall know any trends that I need 2 b on the lookout 4?
Have yall ever ‘copied a famous celebrity’ 2 seem more like an individual?
