Why Is This Even Popular? 15 Trends That People Think Are Stupid and Make No Sense 

In the ever-changing landscape of trends and phenomena, there are some things that skyrocket in popularity, leaving many of us scratching our heads. These are the cultural quirks and societal shifts that, no matter how hard we try, we just can’t seem to understand. From reality TV shows that blur the lines between truth and fiction to the mysterious appeal of fidget spinners, these popular trends have left many in a state of perpetual wonder and often annoyance. 

Reality TV Shows

Reality TV has taken over the airwaves, and while some find it entertaining, Some people can’t wrap their heads around the obsession. The scripted drama and over-the-top antics seem far from genuine, relatable content.

Fidget Spinners

Fidget spinners took the world by storm, but their appeal baffles me. Sure, they spin, but beyond that, what’s the fascination? Many have yet to comprehend how these tiny gadgets became such a craze.

Celebrity Gossip Magazines

The ins and outs of celebrities’ lives plastered on glossy pages baffle me. What’s the allure of knowing every detail of someone else’s life, especially when it’s often sensationalized or fabricated?

Extreme Eating Challenges

Watching someone devour an absurd amount of food in record time is a phenomenon people can’t get behind. The health risks and wastefulness of such challenges leave many questioning their popularity.

Selfie Culture

While a selfie now and then is fine, the obsession with capturing every moment of one’s life for public consumption is beyond my comprehension. What happened to simply enjoying the moment?

Influencer Marketing

The sway of influencers over consumer behavior is a head-scratcher. It’s hard to believe that people would base their choices on the recommendations of someone they’ve never met. If you buy something, someone off the internet tells you to buy, you better check the review first.

Cryptocurrency Craze

 The world of cryptocurrency and the fervor surrounding it is a mystery to many people. The volatility and complexity of this digital currency market seem like a risky game. But still, many wish they understood it when digital money was much cheaper, and they could have cashed in big. 

Reality Singing Competitions

The notion of pitting aspiring singers against each other in a high-stakes competition is puzzling. Is this really the best way to discover and nurture musical talent? Many believe all of the voting, judges, etc., are rigged. 

Extreme Sports

Watching individuals hurl themselves off cliffs or perform death-defying stunts leaves people wondering why anyone would willingly put themselves in such perilous situations. Freak Factor, base jumping…no thank you. 

Fast Fashion

Many women struggle to wrap their heads around the rapid turnover of trendy, low-cost clothing. The environmental impact and ethical concerns are significant drawbacks. Plus, why would you want to buy a shirt you’ll wear only once before throwing it out full of holes? 

Viral Challenges

 From the cinnamon challenge to the Tide Pod challenge, many can’t comprehend the allure of willingly participating in potentially dangerous stunts for a few moments of online fame. With TikTok, the challenges are not only destructive but illegal. Slapping a teacher or stealing items from schools? Is this really entertainment? 

Massive Theme Parks

While theme parks can be fun, the enormous crowds, long lines, and high costs associated with major attractions seem more hassle than they’re worth.

Extreme Makeup Trends

The intricate and time-consuming makeup routines showcased on social media platforms puzzle many people. The hours spent on contouring and elaborate looks seem excessive. Plus, what brush do you use when, and why do you have to spend over $100 on one product? 

Collectible Toy Hysteria

The frenzy surrounding certain collectible toys, from Beanie Babies to action figures, is something people can’t quite grasp. What makes these items so sought after? 

Binge-Watching TV Series

While enjoying a good TV show is one thing, the trend of consuming an entire series in a single sitting leaves people wondering about the value of savoring content over time. Many believe people zone out after 3 or 4 episodes, leaving them to miss a lot of information and entertainment.
