Who hasn't taken part in a fad that became passé before the year was out.

Children of the 90s probably wish they spent much less time and effort obtaining Pogs and Magic Cards than they did.

But while some frivolous fads are an almost instant flash in the pan, sometimes they are only the beginning of a pop culture phenomenon which continues to this day, with no end in sight.

Much to the dismay of many.

Redditor FalloutFan4207 was curious to hear the things people can't believe are as popular as they are, leading them to ask:

"What should never have gotten popular?"

Did anyone find this funny?

"The stupid public pranks on strangers where it's more or less just harassment."- Laptraffik

"Doing stupid sh*t for clout."- Unknown_Captain

More like "Toddler and Exploitation"...

"Toddlers and Tiaras. Child beauty pageants."- spaceassorcery

Scared Toddlers And Tiaras GIFGiphy

Just a cruel tease...

"Micro transactions."- Jerrybeshara

Why pay for something you can get for free from a tap?

"Bottled water for like $3 as an alternative to soft drinks."- Tuesday2017

Not everyone deserves to be famous

​"Giving obnoxious people a platform."

"See Dr. Phil and his gaggle of guests who are famous for being stupid."- glitchystitchy


"Making stupid people famous."- whitecity011

"The Paul brothers."- dollaravocadotoast

Just how "real" are these shows?

"Reality TV/celebrity obsession/Kardashian style shows."- dogsquad81

Is there really anything wrong with monogomy?

"Being a side chick/dude."

"Essentially glorifying cheating."- OhJeezItsCorrine

One can only hope that these will all be things of the past before too long.

And will make way for another trend which people will spend years wondering why it became as popular as it did.

Room Goes Silent After Trump Makes Super Tone-Deaf Joke To Japanese Prime Minister About Pearl Harbor In Shocking Video

The audience in the Oval Office went silent after President Donald Trump made a tone-deaf joke about the attack on Pearl Harbor to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi following a question about why he kept his attack on Iran a "surprise."

Trump was wrapping up a Q&A with reporters during a bilateral meeting with Takaichi when a Japanese journalist pressed him on why key allies—like Japan—were not notified ahead of the attack on Iran on February 28.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was roasted online after Meta announced they'll be shutting down Horizon Worlds, part of their virtual reality "Metaverse," this summer after spending close to $80 billion on the project.

The news comes five years after Zuckerberg declared the metaverse to be the future of Facebook, even renaming the company Meta to reflect that vision. In recent months, Meta cut roughly 10% of the workforce in its "metaverse" division and signaled a shift away from virtual reality for its flagship platform, Horizon Worlds, where users interact through avatars.
