What are some trends/fads that you are glad the world has moved on from?
-
I will give up my bell bottoms when you pull them off my cold, dead, child of the 60's butt.
Likewise, my boot cuts
-
Low-rise jeans are equally heinous.
Nope. Love, a short waisted person.

Here is an example of what I mean https://youtu.be/qqfk7-3iN-U This man is pausing briefly to gather his next thought instead of grunting like someone with a double digit iq.

Pogs should come back

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.
Skinny jeans, ultra tiny phones, basically anything that was a PITA to use or traded comfort to look fashionable.
Two things I want to see come back is JNCO style jeans that are enormous, and zipoffs. Oversized jeans - that's comfort right there. I lived through that. There's nothing like being able to put your 2" thick 10 lb math textbook in your back pocket like a wallet, lol. Zipoff pants / convertable pants were the bomb. You could be warm on a cold morning and have shorts in the afternoon. I really miss those, and the lack of cargo pockets today. Where have all the cargos gone???

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.
Omg u ok hun? PMd u xx

I don’t go to business meetings anymore, so maybe it’s still going strong, but I feel like the wave has kind of crested on using “ask” as a noun. Like, “that’s a big ask,” or, “my ask of you is this.”
I know that nouns get verbed and verbs get nouned all the time in popular usage and normally I’m totally fine with it. Impact as a verb never bothered me, for instance. But for some reason ask as a noun was always super annoying to me.
