I'd say ALL fads are a joke! That is why they are fads.









Every fad whatever it is was seeded into the public as an addiction brought about to play on human weakness for material profit and social change.

The girls had a broader wing span than I did back then lol.

Not even close.
The $1 "feel good" silicon "charity" and "cause" bracelets. I think these were the beginning catalyst of virtue signaling by this generation. "Look at me, I am wearing a yellow bracelet... aren't I swell??!!"
