“The whole culture around this has gotten out of control.
It feels like an abuse of social norms to try and squeeze people like this.”

So redditoru/Western_Definition80asked, “What’sa trendyou’re totally disappointed with?”
Here’s what people said about modern-day trends spanning everything from tech andfashiontofoodand more.
“A lack of color in home decor.

Everything is #sadbeige.
Maybe a pillow is dusty pink if you want to add some spice.”

“Those microscopic luxury bags that can’t even fit a phone inside.”
4.“Subscriptions.

Everything that was once a one-time purchase has become a monthly subscription.
It feels like were not allowed to own anything outright anymore.”

“How difficult it has become to just play a video game.

“The food trend of adding cottage cheese to everything.

It’s okay to have bread and for it to not have 72 grams of protein in it.”
“Plastic surgery, in particular buccal fat removal.

“How there’s an app for EVERYTHING.
Even to order at fast food or grocery stores, multiple items and deals are ‘app only.’
It’s so damn annoying.”

“Wearing high white socks with shorts.

“I’m totally disappointed with the trend of planned obsolescence in tech.

“Minimalist home decor that makes it look like no one actually lives there.”

“The way that people do dangerous things online for engagement.

I didn’t realize how bad it really was until I started using TikTok.”

“Hamburgers that are so high you’re free to’t actually eat them easily.
If you want a bigger hamburger, I think you should make it bigger in circumference, not higher.
Tall ones are difficult and messy to eat.”
“Eyebrow culture is just wild to me.
I do not understand the individual eyebrow hairs glued straight against the forehead.
It looks super odd.”

“Wedding culture has gotten out of control.
As a guest, youre expected to shell out big bucks to attend (hotel, etc.)
AND for the bachelor/bachelorette party.
And then there’s a separate bridal shower where you’re expected to buy a gift from the registry.
Plus, more and more of these events are involving travel!
It feels like an abuse of social norms to try and squeeze people like this.”
“Modern farmhouse style.
I am so sick of seeing white with black trim everywhere and endless expenses of gray.”

“Botox, fillers, and plastic surgery are becoming so normalized now.
