LINK: hits different (rojie’s version)
Currently listening to: Hits Different – Taylor Swift
It hits different this time
Catastrophic blues
Movin’ on was always easy for me to do
What is a bandwagon you jumped on?
Prompt snagged from: TCMC
In school we were trained to spot patterns before they go mainstream (diseases, symptoms, behaviors, and etc.) so hopping on trends early is actually fun for me.
While some are still dipping a baby toe in, I’m already halfway down the rabbit hole with an opinion about it that no one asked for. My millennial friends will send me reels and TikTok of things that I posted on my stories or sent to them weeks ago. It’s giving boomer energy… but then again, my boomer friends are more hip than they are sometimes. SMH.
By the time something blows up on TikTok and then trickles into IG, it’s already old. Things move at a fast pace, but they have a way of coming back and become popular again. That’s why I see Gen Zs wearing vintage t-shirts of bands like STP, Pink Floyd, and Nirvana.
Things that I’ve gotten over already:
- Labubu
- permanent jewelry
- HOKA
- boba
- Dubai chocolate – that was so 2023.
- tradwife, I could never
- burrata on everything
- Stanley cups – but I still use mine because it holds 40 oz conveniently. Also, I didn’t buy mine, a friend gifted it to me last year as a birthday gift.
- K-pop Demon Hunters – it had a good run. I imagine it’ll be trending again when the sequel comes out.
- the words, “sando”, “big yikes”, “skibidi”, and “gyaat”
These are the current trends I’m STILL on:
- Shohei Ohtani
- minimalism
- beef tallow
- glass skin
- athleisure fits
- authenticity
- declining trust in media
- AI
- Meta glasses + neural band – I’m still debating on this. During Cyber Monday, they were having a sale but it was only on generation 1 glasses. I just can’t justify the $799 cost right now and need to learn more about the long term effects. I also can’t stand Zuck.
- PDRN
- Yemeni coffee
- red light mask
- exosome serum
- cyber futurism aesthetic
- privacy – another reason why I’ve been on my socials less
- matcha
- pandan
- sourdough – it’s been a decade and I’m still on it
- New Balance – since HOKAs are the new Boomer shoes, they reinvented their brand
- K-pop – it’s in my DNA
- true crime documentaries
