Fads are a merely a medium
for the cunts of every generation to show off about how different their cuntishness is from the cuntishness of the generation before.

"Ha! Dad looked so ridiculous in his flares, he should have worn a shellsuit like me"

"Ha! Betamax was so totally ridiculous, but I'm lapping up HD-DVD like a thirsty dog"

"I like Apple"

And so on. Fads in general irritate me. When I was a kid, the fads were POGS and yo-yos and those diablo things. The nineties were shit.

However, I don't think any generation before is going to have gone through quite the same level of acute embarrasment as the current lot will have upon reaching middle age, when their kids look at all the old photographs and say "Dad, why is your arse hanging out of the back of your jeans?"

The beauty of facebook means that my generation will never be able to hide their embarrassing teenage years from their kids.

This is a plus for me.
Because I'm handsome with dapper clothes. I think.
