I think what youjust said is exact opposite of what I would have said... No drama - I just don't feel like typing it all, so I'll just say "Yeah - the opposite of what was just said".. lolSeriously though, I think "trendy" reflects pretention, often encompassing tendencies toward superiority complexes. Trendy people are the ones who will wear something one day and see you wearing it the next and will make a face and say "That look is SO five minutes ago..." -- or might just make a snide comment. YUCK.Trendy unfortunately tends to denote self-centered, nose in the air, "plastic" people who are often obnoxious and posess the personality of a marble.*phew* I'll stop now... - meli - ------------------ "This is not political - it's just that I demand attention when I walk into the room..." -- Nelly FurtadoAIM: MeliChaCha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peache5030 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I think TRENDY is such a silly word..you can use this word in soo many different ways..in a negative light or a postive one...I once had an ex tell me he thought i was "too trendy" ...whatever that means..But then again if im describing someone's clothing I like i might use the term "trendy" ..So now that im blabbing on...its just a WORD that can be used in so many different ways its hard to explain what exactly it means..DOES that make sense??? lol ------------------Dont ever stop smiling-->you never know who is falling in love with your smile...I dont cry because it ENDED--> I smile because we HAPPENED..

laurensomers Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I think just because someone is or thinks they are "trendy" doesn't mean that they are snobby, they just have a taste for cutting edge fashion. They may read magazines such as Vogue, Elle or Baazar and keep current on the fashion idustry. In this day in age, the so-called trend points more and more towards individualism, not conformity. Did anyone happen to see or hear about Fall 2001 Fashion week? Reporters and Columnists alike could not point toward any several specific trends. While there may be some recurring themes, colors, etc., the underlying theme was that every designer was uniquely different. SO, my definition of TRENDY, (right now) = Individualism.

abgrover Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 trendy seems to be what the media makes it to be. (ie. we are trendy because we are part of the "elite" club scene that seems to show up in Ford Focus commercials, Kenneth Cole subway ads, Twix commercials) I have a friend who works in the accessory design industry, and she was telling me there are whole careers based on people who are trend predictors...they create "lookbooks" that companies pay thousands of dollars to see. (Advertising agencies, fashion designers, magazines) to discover what's "hot" and to bite off of other peoples designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravity Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 These are all good "definitions"...but what places/scenes/etc do you think are trendy? People might think Exit is trendy because they've never been to Spa...people might think Spa is trendy because they've never been to Lotus...people might think Lotus is trendy because they've never been to..... and it goes on and on. So, is trendy something that you are a part of or something that you want to be a part of. This goes for fashion too... ------------------"The world is a better place because of those who refuse to believe they can't fly." I go places,I interact...(What places?)Certain, clubs.
