    I had to drive through Arizona State University's campus today and it was hiiiiiiilarious. Everyone looked the exact same!!

    Some I hate are:
    Emo, or hipster anything
    Ugg boots
    Stupid oversized colored-framed sunglasses
    Dudes wearing those plaid shorts (where the fuck did that come from? totally gay, but I guess if you want to be hip...)
    Reality TV (unless it's on the Dicovery Channel)

    Jean skirts. Actually, while popular (esp. with ugg boots)...I like 'em! Or, looking at them. :D

    those vampire books by Myers

    90210 and Gossip Girl...whens the last time you saw a "17 year old" drinking martinis and using fancy glassware.

    When I was that age, Gold Schlagger was as fancy as it got, or maybe generic vodka from a glass bottle instead of plastic

    Definitely jeans that fit a guy. In my opinion, skinny jeans don't "fit" and neither do "baggy jeans." I assume your straight leg jeans fit as they should. Baggy pants fall off, skinny jeans need to be painted on, jeans that just kinda fit well.....

    http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/in ... EmoKid.jpg - these jeans do not "fit"
    http://www.racewire.org/archives/baggy.jpg - these jeans do not "fit"

    But in all reality, to each their own. I'm not really hatin' on anything that people wear, but if I had to choose one "look" that bugs me lately, it's the skinny jeans.

    2 come to mind:

    1) Commercials that repeat their phone number more than 3 times. (Or how about the one where the guy tries to act all casual and is like "Let me see if I can find the number, ah yes here it is...the number is...")

    2) HORRIBLE 2nd rate hack advertisements. I want to hit the guy in the face who came up with the "Plump your lips!" (as he misspells it "Limps") that I see every time I sign onto comcast to check my mail. KNOCK IT OFF, I DON'T CARE WHAT THE "#1 PLUMPING SECRET" IS!!!! This all started with those stupid insurance dancing cowboys ads, mixed in with the "Head On" ads that got a lot of attention. Then came the "surprised" black lady, and it just went downhill from there, which was not exactly starting at a high point. Also, ads placed based on statements in your profile bug me. How is that not invasion of privacy, Facebook?

    Truthfully, the skinny jean trend isn't really "fitting" on all the guys that wear them. There is a difference between slim-fit jeans and nut-huggers. I agree with you on the pants half-way down the ass...but if you're supporting nut-hugging tight jeans (seldomly girl jeans) on boys/guys and saying that they fit, I'd have to disagree...Pants can be too baggy, OR too damn tight.

    that aside, here are my peeves with the trends:

    Myspace
    Facebook
    American Idol, Dancing W/ The Stars, and other tasteless TV shows
    Reality TV
    Being Vegetarian because it's the cool thing to do....
    Misunderstanding of Organic and Environmental attention (I am a tree-hugger myself, and my girlfriend and I eat organic...BUT it drives me up the wall when I see the green effort being sold through fashion and store slogans, advertisments, etc...it has no passion or true belief, IMO)
    Metallica (seriously...they aren't THAT great)
    lastly, the whole "Emo" scene

    What are the newest, most annoying trends you Pitters can think of? I have to write an article on a trend and I'm grasping for ideas. I'm not talking Ugg Boots, that's old ... something more cutting edge. Feel free to think as outside the box as you like. thanks.
    Ok. So reading through three pages of complaints about things people wear/do/say I have a question. Are you writing this paper to simply point out things you don't like or are you trying to predict what is coming up?

    It cracks me up to see everyone jumping on the same things. Seriously, life is just a cycle of what we're willing to accept seeing ourselves doing. Think back 50 years. In 1959, having shaggy hair got you beat up, called names and altogether harassed. Now all I'm seeing being written here is how skinny jeans annoy people or if you wear furry boots, you're a tool. To me, I could give a shit what's annoying, as long as it gets the largest commercial demographic buying it. Those goddamn kids. The people bitching about it are the ones that don't understand why the other half thinks it's cool. And so be it.

    The truth is, by the time you write your paper, whatever you write about will not be the hippest/coolest trend. Shit moves too fast.

    Nor do we care. Some trends just seem ridiculous. Are we not supposed to be bothered by them?

    Is it really something enough to be bothered by? I would understand if the latest thing was to interrupt someone's conversation by making a crow sound. But some jackass wearing his jeans too tight doesn't affect me and I could care less if they do. Just trying to put things in perspective here.

    Sometimes you can't help but be bothered by something. In my post I talked about annoying ads. They make my blood boil no matter how much I try to ignore them

    I understand you are trying to put things into perspective. In the big picture, none of this stuff is important. That I understand. But pet peeves and annoyances still exist, no matter how hard you try to ignore them, and it just seems to me that posting what essentially is your own pet peeve, against pet peeve converations, in a thread about pet peeves is futile and self-defeating.

    cmon people, go out and take a walk! ;)

    actually - the one thing i genuinely cant understand, especially after living in sussex for a brief time - skinny jeans: real men just wouldnt wear them.....the most stupid looking demasculating rubbish ive seen in years - but im not getting angry about it. i feel good about how i look in comparison. 8-)

    all the other things i can see why people like though, so i couldnt care less about em.

    I don't think young people not reading the papers have that much to do with the failure, it's basically the Internet. The print industry should have seen it coming ever since Ebay started to become a huge trend back around the late 90's. Then Google came along, later craigslist, and so forth....basically these sites sucked all the advertisements away from the newspapers. That's where the papers make their money, from the ads.

    :(

    This made me laugh. Thanks for reminding me that I don't need to say fuck multiple times to get my point across ;)

    I'll be able to sleep peacefully tonight knowing that you don't give a rats ass about these things, but care enough to let everyone know that.

    Your time must be not be too valuable, or you just have way too much of it. :D
