Do you like to keep up with the trend a lot?

I think that both doing things because other people do AND not doing things because other people do is stupid.

Everything I do is for me. Sometimes too much hype around something puts me off because I feel as though it won't live up to that hype, or I become sick of hearing about it before even experiencing it, but I have no problem with things being either popular or unpopular.

Everything is basically a trend. If you refuse to watch a TV show just because everyone else does, you're also just fitting in with everyone else who thinks it's fashionable to be unfashionable. Same with clothes/hair colour/music/anything.

My mom always complained that I looked like a hobo. Haha.

My mum says I look too scruffy.

F*ck trends.

My brother nicknamed me The Littlest Hobo (he didn't know there'd been a TV show about a dog, but I downloaded the theme song and showed him it).

Actually that theme song came on when I was out with my cousin and it made me insanely happy and I was the only person who knew all the words and I couldn't help singing along and marching a bit... It made my night. Even though I blame socialising for making me ill...

Clearly a lot of you in here are following the trend of hating trends

I do follow trends in underground cultures I suppose you could say. I like to upgrade my pc with the new bits and I like design trends in new cars. I would hardly call myself a sellout slave but I notice some things. I don't think there's anything wrong with it either.

Same here!

well if you are a trader, then
the trend is your friend

What is a trend these days, anyway?
I don't follow anything but what I wish in terms of clothing, style etc. I don't even bother to match colours anymore.
I was always being asked by my mother why I couldn't dress more nicely, and by my father, why I couldn't dress like other girls my age. Always been gothic renaissance...ethnic hippy....or sloppy loose things for me.

nope, never ever
all black semi baggy clothes sometimes band t shirts

haha, I can tell that you don't follow them

I have become fairly obsessed with Ralph Lauren designer clothes but I think this falls more under the category of a "narrow, obsessive interest" (albeit a very expensive one) rather than any desire to be a trendsetter. If I see anything with the Ralph Lauren logo on it, I have to have it, and I keep a list of all the famous people I see wearing Ralph Lauren clothes.
