The CCTV trend on imageai. Different celebrities or fictional characters stealing from target is just funny for some reason

When I was younger I fell for two - baggy jeans and llamas.

I remember in 5th grade I tried to joke about llamas with one kid and show him the llama song (because he loved llamas) and he said I was just copying him. In hindsight fuck you Hans, you didn't invent llamas, you were just copying others too, you tool!

Baggy pants were regrettable too...

I wore baggy jeans and oversized hoodies in the early 2000's. That's pretty much the last time I "followed a trend" that I can think of though there probably are other occasions too that just don't come to mind now. Most of the time I get into things either before they were cool or way after the wave has already passed.

Jams shorts in the 80s. A friend and I wore them after a wedding, with tuxedos.
