Icon, Fad and Trend
I guess everything in pop culture can fit into three categories; Icons, fads, or trends.
The biggest trend right now seems to be being an internet nerd. Most of my friends spend a lot of their time on the web. The bulk of my day (even though I hate to admit it) is on Tumblr. All the jokes we make have to do with internet memes (common internet jokes)
A big fad is wearing bench clothing or converse shoes. Clothing brands and hair cuts move so fast that I cannot seem to keep up. As soon as my new clothes come in (from the slowest mail system since the pony express) a new style comes out.
I would have to say that my icon is Lady Gaga, she has taken a huge step for LGBTQ rights. Unafraid to say "you know what? I'm different, I'm bisexual, I'm fashionable, but I don't need you to love me. Just respect me" She even got the Trevor award. I truly admire her ambition and self respect. I think that if every single person on the planet had self respect Pam Anderson wouldn't be pushing for PETA, and carpel tunnel syndrome would not be the problem that it is.
All I'm saying is that I'm sick of people putting themselves down and taking all these trends and fads more seriously than they need to be.
