What are some trends/fads that you are glad the world has moved on from?

Vaguebooking. At least it died out for me, when my age group grew up past high school. Specifically, the vaguebooking that would involve lame-ass "motivation quotes" or worse song lyrics that were obviously about some dramatic thing happening in their life, usually pointed at someone.
I still have one person who never moved on from high-school who still does crap like this, but now I just still follow them for the pure nostalgia and the joy of seeing these. Seriously, they show how immature they are, unable to actually go talk about their emotions a veil so thin of "please I want my privacy" while posting about it online.

You've just described like 90% of the AIM away messages in high school lol.

Oh god now there is a concept I long forgot about!

I didn't notice it at the time, but AIM away messages were basically like proto-Twitter long before actual Twitter became a thing. Some people would always be "away" so their inspirational crap would show since AIM still let you chat like normal while "away".

Duck face came to mind yesterday - randomly realized I hadn't seen duckface in the wild for a long time.
Or, alternatively, what are some old fads you wish would make a comeback?
The spirit of the question is social fads. Please try to keep replies to lighthearted things. I'll delete the post if the comments turn into political commentary.
Motivational posters. I want that kitten to fall to a horrific death.

Aaahaha. Back when Facebook was still a thing I would vaguebook with Protomen lyrics. God knows what I was thinking

I'm glad pop music stopped sounding like EDM

You don't really hear about serial killers anymore.

Last week, I had to explain what pogs were to a pair of teammates, had to stop myself from starting with "back in my day, when things were good and people didn't spend so much time on their phones..."

Of course not - they're in politics now after all.

The fidget spinner.
Currently waiting on people to stop using "know what I mean", "end of the day", "umm", "like", "I mean", and other filler words.

Bell bottoms need to die. (And in case you didn’t catch it, that means all variations of bell bottoms) (flaired is just one iteration of bell bottoms)

I will give up my bell bottoms when you pull them off my cold, dead, child of the 60's butt.

Not sure that this alternative is better.
Compression up the ass and nasal whiny vocals can't become uncool soon enough.

Omfg yes. I remember when Facebook had that promt next to the posting input, prefixing all statements.
"Person".. is feeling like somebody hurt me badly.

It's different from what i'm thinking of. I'm hearing alot of jpop/kpop-influence in the song.
But it's also insanely compressed. Artificially loud is the description that comes to mind. Like i get a headache from the constant pressure of the song.

I think you'll be waiting a very long time. The specific words and phrases will shift, but I think filler words are just a natural consequence of thinking while speaking. Some people are better at that than
meothers but it's not going to disappear. -

Kinky, how much paying?

wrote last edited by [email protected]Oh my, yes. That one needed to die before it started. Obviously fishing for responses, refusing to elaborate, sometimes getting defensive in the comments, sometimes moving conversations to private chat.
And the tired old "someone knows who they are!"
