What’s Trending?
I think this subject matter is so hilarious. I actually went to Twitter and typed in “trending”.
Everything from a man poking his stomach out to selfies to Satanism is “trending”.
Isn’t it amazing what “trends” are these days?
I can recall when a trend was just for fashion. The 80’s and 90’s trends. Big hair, Madonna, Michael Jackson, or even the recent “trend” years of multi-colored hair.
Now we have so many “trends” that they are hard to keep up with.
Trend ability….is a trend even a trend?
Personally, I think not.
Remember the meme with the cat and the woman?
Now that is a trend, still very much alive and it continues to grow.
The Definition of a “Trend”
- A general direction in which something is developing or changing (noun)
- A fashion (noun)
- A change or develop in a general direction (verb)

Enough
When is enough, enough? These are not “trends”, these are just simply “followed” topics, which people are jumping on the bandwagon to have a reason or justification for a cause, to have a purpose, add their opinion, or just make noise about.
Be passionate about something, but not because it is a trend.
Be an advocate for the cause, the awareness, the purpose.
Open Interpretation
I leave the question “what is trending” up to you, the readers, the subscribers.
I am truly confused as to how we go from what I would consider a “trend” of fashion, movies, shows, music, to now everything on social media and news.
What would be interesting is a daily chart of the “trends”.
What is “trending” in your world?
In mine, confusion over all of these “trends”

I think the stuff you mentioned are more like social media trends than things that are actually trending in real life.

Thank you! I really felt that I was babbling on about it, but it’s just not a “trend” thing any longer, right?

Very true, I just can’t wrap my head around if they are “trends” or “topics” that are just gaining followers.
As I think about it, for example, the sex-trafficking and human trafficking should be a huge point of discussion and focus, along with so many other important causes.
Not a here today gone tomorrow. That’s how I think of the “trend” so to speak.
I’m managing to have more of an open mindset (I am almost 46), I didn’t grow up with all of this social media. Social media is now overwhelming.
