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.

And the tired old "someone knows who they are!"

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.
I agree but also filler words are important. It spaces out the information, making it easier for people to digest in real time.

Followed with one of their friends saying "Yeah Tim's an asshole" and them replying either "Yes he's such an asshole" or equally likely "Please respect our privacy". Either way, super annoying.

Aaahaha. Back when Facebook was still a thing I would vaguebook with Protomen lyrics. God knows what I was thinking
If you destroy the working class all you get is a broken machine?

You don't really hear about serial killers anymore.
Yeah it's not like most women are into true crime.

Pogs should come back
Pogs are the civilized upgrade of throwing rocks together. Fuck yeah it should come back. It is ingrained in our DNA

Just publicly saying they're in the know, and closer to the poster than anyone who doesn't know. "Look at me! I'm such a close friend that I know who they're talking about!"

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.

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)
Low-rise jeans are equally heinous.

A brief pause does the same thing.

Saw (or rather heard) a few at a football game recently. They're still here, but at least it isn't a stadium full.
Instead we use cowbells like God and nature intended

What’s the term for the guy equivalent? Is it like jaw-maxing r something? I’m happy that seems to be gone as well

Next I’d be pretty happy if EDM could stop sounding like pop music too

Thanks for the reminder lol

Duckface? Yeah that's not completely dead, unfortunately.

They already did. That one's cyclical.

NFTs. They have not been and will not be missed.

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..."
Yeah, because many people didn't have cell phones back then. For me it was when I was maybe third grade; two or three kids out of the whole class had phones.
